1950Pro

I sold a 1950PRO to a friend which hes installed but I'm worried about his psu not coping.

When i had it with rig in sig i got 90-100fps in BF2, he has the following spec;

P4 2.93ghz
1gb or ddr400
1950pro

and hes getting 70-80fps but sometimes he drops to 30 fps and after a bit of digging found out hes only a got a 315W psu (packard bell) and wondered if its not giving enough amps to the card.

On the psu it sasy 10a/5a, i assume its 10a for 115V and 5a for 230V, so I've advised for him to get a new psu but hes very tight and doesnt have a lot of money anyway.

Would you aggree that the psu is probably not up to the job?

Thanks for the info guys its appreciated.

@ silversurfer Hes only running 1024/768 on a 17" monitor.

The point i was worried about is when his card actually dropped from 80~90 fps to 30fps and made me think about the psu.

He was actually running BF2 on 512mb of ram before i sold him the 1950pro and another 512mb of ram making it 1gb.

To be honest he could do with a full upgrade was just a bit worried about the sudden drop in fps during the game.

Hes happy but ive told him he's better with a new psu.
Thanks anyway.
