Ordering new graphics card

CSMonkeh · 26 Apr 2011 at 19:05

Just ordering myself this:
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-254-AS

but just wanna make sure the PSU can take it. I have a HX620W Corsair PSU. Given my CPU is overclocked and it would be rude not to do the same with said graphics card, will the PSU be able to handle it all?

Thanks muchly

Your PSU would not break a sweat

Good stuff thx.
I know it says 450w minimum but wasn't sure with the overclocking.

I believe that is for people who buy £10 psu, not a quality one like the Corsair

If there ever was a definition of false economy...

Yea psu is fine mate even when overclocked, might be pushing it if you decided to go xfire but should be fine with single 6950

says max consumption is only 250w, the 6970 version only asks for a 500w PSU (which if you unlock your 6950 your effectively owning) so you should be fine
