Hello, so my nephew's birthday is coming up and I want to buy him a hd 6570 to replace his old overclocked 8600gt. One day I saw his PSU was a 300w no-branded one.So I went over to this site:
http://www.gpureview.com/radeon-hd-6570-gddr3-card-655.html
and I saw it uses pretty much the same power as his 8600gt:
http://www.gpureview.com/geforce-8600-gt-card-513.html
Then I went over to ATI's site and saw it required a psu with a minimum of 400w..now I'm confused. I dont think my nephew had problems running his 8600gt on his 300w, why should he have a problem running the 6570 when they use the same power? Is it possible to do that?
