8800gts

[neocon]

what do you rekon would happen if i tried to run this gfx card on my system considering it has a 400watt ver 2.0 psu. (400 Watt SmartPower 2.0 power supply)

BFG GeForce 8800 GTS OC2 320MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail

have 1 x dvd writer
1 x HD drive
audigy 4

try it only 1 way to find out

Should be fine. Antec make pretty good quality psu's. The 8800GTS requires a minimum of 400w and we all know the cards dont use anywhere near that amount on load so it should be okay.

i'm intrested to know as well, as i've been thinking of getting an antec sonata 2 case, and wondering if i'll need a new psu.... i'm planing on getting a q6600 as well...

Im not sure tbh, 2x 12v Rails, 1x at 10a, the other at 15a, you wouldn't get 25a combined, be a bit less, so i couldn't say.

 

[MrP77]

think i might just spend an extra tenner and get the sonata 3 which has a 500 watt one

Slightly OT, but still relevant:

Would an 8800-GTS physically fit in a SFF case? I'm not thinking of using any other PCI cards so that free's up some room.

Thanks
