What Power Does It Draw

[Shadz]

Hi Guys,

I am wanting to upgrade my Graphics card to a 6950 just because I prefer ATI
over Nvidia, and I wondered if anyone know's what the 6950 draws off the PSU?

The rest of my PC spec is in my sig, so if you don't mind letting me know either
how much the 6950 draws or how much the whole system will draw off the PSU
all together with a 6950 I would be very great full.

Cheers

Somewhere around 150w I think. What size/model is your PSU?

Cheers m8, thanks very much for the link I have bookmarked it.

Im surprised that the card don't pull more power than the 320 watts stated on there though
I thought that it would be more than that.

Thanks m8

No probs, the ATI cards can / do run lower power.

Nice, thanks for the info buddy

Another alternative is TechPowerUp who measure the card's power consumption without the system - which is very useful if your build isn't as power hungry as their test rig.

320watts is the whole system power draw
