Hi guys, Considering buying PowerColor ATI Radeon X850 XT 256MB GDDR3 TV-Out/DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (GX-037-PC). I cant seem to find much info about this card.

I was just wondering does it have dual DVI?

And does it have VIVO?

Also what power supplie would I need to run this

NO Dual DVI and NO VIVO Functions.

400 Watts over will do it, it has to be version 2 PSU.

My psu is 375 Watts and made by dell in my Dimension 9100. So that wont be good enough?

Well Im sitting here with the box right next to me, (I just installed it on Wednesday) and it says "Dual DVI I output" and below that it says "Video in, Video Out (VIVO) connector" that suggests to me it does. I saw two DVI I outputs on the card when I installed it that also suggest to me it does.
