Hello, This is my first post on toms Hardware so forgive me!
My current gpu is a Gtx 550 ti. With this graphics card i am achieving low frames in some games and also in my favorite "world of tanks".
I have researched gpus and found a bargain of a hd6950.
Only Issue i have with this card is its massive power draw on my psu and my poor spu.
I am posting this in hope that you guys might help a amateur like me out!
My Specs:
Mother board: Gigabyte 78lmt-s2p
Cpu: Amd Athion X2 260 3200mhz
1 wireless card
2 sticks of 8gb ddr3 ram
Have the stock coolmaster fan plus another 120mm
1 dvd/cd drive
Problem: psu: Areocool Vp-550watt
Specs
+12v: 20a
+12v2: 20a
(max combined for both rails: 408watt)
More specs: http://www.aerocoolaustralia.com.au/psu/psu_vp-550.htm
Will i be ok with this PSU?
A huge thankyou to all who helps!
much appreciated
