Power problems

[Helium_Junkie]

Morning all,
My PC keeps telling me that its throttling the grpahics card because there isnt enough power. The 6pin PCI is plugged in fine.

The card is a 6800GS, the PSU is a brand new OCZ Stealth Stream 500w. Is there something I am missing as to why this is underpowered? Drivers are 163.75.

Have a read, its not a bed of roses even if you pay £160 for a power supply...some just don't like the GT / GTX

I swapped my 850W Enermax Galaxy for a Corsair HX620...no problems now !

There are later drivers too ?? 169.12 ??
