Is my PSU enough???

Hi guys,

My mate has just upgraded from a GTX 460 to a Radeon 5970.

He offered my the GTX 460 for free (he has more cash than sense!!!)

I was gonna uses it as a PhysX card along side my KFA2 GTX 480 'Anarchy' graphics card but im not sure if my PSU can handle another Fermi based GFX card.

The PSU in question is the Corsair HX 850w.

My system:

Antec 1200
Asus P6TD Deluxe
i7 920 @3.6ghz
6 Gb corsair DDR3 (dominator)
KFA2 GTX 480 LTD OC Anarchy
X-Fi Fatal1ty Titanium Pro
1x OCZ Vertex 2 (60gb) SSD
1x Intel X-25M (160gb) SSD
1x Samsung F3 (1TB) HDD
LG Blu-Ray / DVD RW

Peripherals (all running on USB power from the system)
Logitech G510 Keyboard
Razer Deathadder Mouse
Roccat Kave Headphones
Xbox Wireless Controller

A GTX460 as a physx card? I'm crying real tears, here :/

Will be fine, running overclocked sli gtx 470's on the same psu.

That PSU can handle it no problem.

Sell the 460. Physx did nothong for me

It was my mates, but he has upgraded and cant be bothered selling it.

Its a freebie for me...albeit a very nice freebie

It's completely wasted tho as a PhysX card. You should consider giving it away (as your friend did), to one of your friends who actually needs it.

none of my other mates who I would even consider giving a £130 GFX card to play games on pc....they are all console queers!

personally i would say sell it, it would be a waste to use it as a physX card, if you got the money sell your 480 and 460 and just get yourself a 580 and you are in heaven,
