4850 psu
- Thread starter pj85
- Start date
The corsair vx450 is a high quality psu, it can supply a continuous 450W to your components happily. A lot of psus only state their peak output which is why ati recommend 500W psus.
The peak draw of a 4850 is around 110W so as long as you haven't got an overclocked quad core with watercooling it will be fine.

Even if it didn't have the right connector you could still power it, as you would get a 6 Pin adapter with the card.
I run my 4850 on a Seasonic 430w with an E6750 @ 3.2, 2GB DDR2 800, pcie>firewire card, external audio interface, Blu-Ray/HD-DVD combo drive and 2 120mm case fans. Had no problems with power at all so far.
My card (PowerColor) came with a molex>6pin cable.
