What kind of GPU can the 500w OCZ handle?

[Shakeel]

On the following systems.

AMD P2 QUAD 925
4GB RAM
1 X HDD (320GB)

AMD P2 X2
4GB RAM
1 X HDD (320GB)

I was thinking 4890/4870/GTX 260/275/280

Am i wrong?

Thanks

Would happily run a 5870 on either of those.

5870 is probably the max it could support, unless the PSU is powering both systems at once?

You can't be serious?

Clearly he is looking for a 2nd computer and wants help to choose which Video card to take.... I hope.

OCZ 500w is a quality bit of kit.....

It will take anything upto a GTX470.

People are WAY too conservative when it comes to PSU requirements and Gfx cards....

I assumed my Corsair HX520 would handle my 4870X2, but I got hardlocks until I bought a new PSU.

Well thats not surprising really is it.....a 4870x2 uses 150w more power than a 470 at max load.....

2 yrs later, its just about the most power hungry card out there...
