Hello All. I'll be as brief as possible.

I'm looking to get a Radeon 6670 graphics card ( I know it's not the most powerful, but that's the best I can obtain). It doesn't come with any power plugs, so it relies totally on the PCI-E slot. This delivers 75w, while the card needs 66w. That's cutting it a bit close, but I've heard that some boards can deliver a higher wattage than that. Is there any way to check if my motherboard can output more than the 75w. If it can't, it doesn't really matter as the card shouldn't need more.
Cheers all, and thanks for the help.

Additional Info:

My Motherboard: Dell 033FF6

(Apologies for any technical terms that I have erred on)
 
Hello

I've had a read through Dells "Comprehensive specifications" for the motherboard you listed however it doesn't mention the power delivery/output for the PCI-E Lane, if your really concerned about it I'd recommend contacting dell, I've personally not come across or read about a motherboard that doesn't deliver 75W via the PCI-E lane(s). I wouldn't worry about it.
