power requirements for graphics cards in online stores and card manufacturer websites? I'm most often upgrading prebuilt PCs, and online prices for graphics cards are often 50% lower than in-store prices. However, if I can't get an amp requirement for a specific...

quite limiting, 400 watt isn't much anymore these days. I suggest you stick to the mid-range segment and watch the power requirements of the graphic cards carefully. In another thread they were discussing the 9600gt running on a 300 watt non-brand powersupply,...

i get a graphics card that requires exactly 300? or will it kill my comptuer? I ran an overclocked 4650 on my Dell 305watt PSU without any problems. I also had an Core2Duo E6300 OCed from 1.8GHz to 2.5GHz. Power requirements of graphics cards are usually...

Don't get me wrong, I would probably just drop in an AGP card in your case too but the OP's rig has a P4 2.6GHz processor in it; an AGP graphics card is a pointless upgrade for him. how do you know there wont? i can tell you there will be dx10 agp cards...

an HD5870, since it's actually SMALLER than a GTX280/285. Also you do realize that's the computational card, not agraphics card, so it doesn't have the full requirements of the graphics card. So if this is the real deal, and not a mock-up, which it still...

Nvidia7900GS). Your CPU is fine for gaming, I have a similar one. Earlier this week I upgraded my graphics card to a 7600GT and saw excellent increases in performance. My PSU (Power Supply) though, like yours is pretty weak and cannot power high end graphics...

YOU CANNOT USE the a single videocard for graphics AND at same time physics.. thats why you need to do 1+1 or 2+1 crossfire Actually that isn't the case. It depends alot on the power required by the graphics of course (hey turn the resollution/effects up...
