8800gt and 9600gt power supply help???. hi guys i decided to get a new vga but the problem is that my power supply is a green450watt with one 12v *16amps rail,so here is the question: can i get a 8800gt or 9600gt or i have to change the psu first?? thx...

is that you'll probably need a better Power supply as well. And not all power supplies will work with Dell systems. The 9100 came with a 375 watt 30 amp power supply that had no problem powering an 8800 GTS 640, a 9600GT won't be a problem. PS, almost...

needs a 6 pin connector from your power supply, the 9500GT listed uses about 30 watts and only uses the power supplied by it's socket. Your power supply may be the limiting factor in which card you can use. I agree, the problem here will be the power supply....

supply could definitely be a culprit. I know I've got a 9600gt and in the specs it said you needed a power supply with 26 amps on the 12v+ rail. So it could be that as things heat up in there, the power supply cannot give enough juice to your card. Reinstalling...

will So, is there a big difference between 9800GT and 9600GT? (talking about the Gigabyte models: and ) I'm not a hard core gamer, I can settle for 24-30fps. The power supply isn't a problem. They're not that much different. Maybe you'll get that 15...
