5850 Power Requirements

[Visionz]

Hey , ive suddenly decided that i need a new gcard. So ive had a look around and it seems that the 5850 seems a popular choice and is in my price range of £200-£300.

I was just checking out the system requirements for such a card : http://www.amd.com/us/products/desk...s/ati-radeon-hd-5850-system-requirements.aspx

And it says i would need two 75W 6-pin PCI Express power connectors for it.

My PSU is a https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-023-OC .

Which says it 2 x PCI-E (1 6-pin & 1 8-pin)



........... so im kinda confused . Will this PSU not have the required connectors for the gcard?

Cheers for the help guys

Your psu will be fine, it has one 6 pin pcie and 1 8 pin, the 8 pin connector will split into a 6 + 2 arrangement.
