Hello all, I am trying to make sure that the power supply I just bought a few weeks ago (unfortunately past it's return policy at Altex) will be able to run an HD6850.
----------------------------------------------------------
Build Specs:
-------------------------
Proc: AMD Athlon II x4 640 clocked @ stock 3.0Ghz
CPU Cool: Stock AMD cooler w/Single 92mm Fan
R.A.M: 3x2Gb 1333Mhz
HDD: 1x WD500Green 7200RPM / 1x 1Tb Seagate 7200RPM
Media: DVD Multi Recorder R DL Litescribe Re-Write capable
Case: Sentey Black Box v.2.1
Fans: 3x120 LED(Blue) / 2x120 NoLED / 1x80mm / 1x92mm Powered via USB (can disable if necessary.)
Mobo: MSI 870S-G46 Full Size ATX w/8Pin PSU Connection
PCI Card: None
E-Media: No card reader installed, or necessary (that's why they make media printers )
PSU: Antec 450 Basiq Model VP450
-----------------------
PSU Current Ratings:
5v= 15A Max Load
+3.3v= 24A Max Load
+12V= 18A Max Load (This is the first 12 volt rail?)
+12V= 18A Max Load(I really had no idea this has two )
-12V= 0.3A Max Load
+5Vsb= 2.5A Max Load
*note* I would REALLY like to run a 6870, but I know that probably isn't possible.
The motherboard, PSU, and Video card will ALL be almost brand new (the psu has about 100 run hours on it, if that. the mobo has the same (installed at same time.)
I will be using the card for gaming, and am a quality enthusiast, so I'd like to get what I can out of the card. I'm going to be upgrading from a 4850 to this.
Purchase date will be within the day, to next two or three. A.S.A.P in other words.
Please help me determine whether this will be enough. Believe it or not, I'm not really the type of person to ever have comp issues, or questions, but as I just bought all these parts to "do up" the HP P6710F that this computer was...I'd like to know if I did so in vain.
I want to run a 6870, but a 6850 will do.
Thanks for any and all help
