Been on my mind for a while now, would the card work fine with my PSU? It's got 30a on the 12v rail, but it is nearly two years old. :eek:

The problem is, if it isn't enough I wont be able to afford the x1950Pro AND a new PSU. So I'll be getting a 7600gt (and overclocking it ofcourse :D).

Thanks in advance.
 
Cant see any problems providing the PSU (X-Pro?) is not an el-cheapo one and its fairly dust free? Some people never blow out dust from PC, some PSU's ive seen were so full of dust it restricted airflow & heatbuild up was insane! 2 year old PSU should be fine, tend to change mine every 4 years. :)
 
Go for it with no worries, X-Pro make (or at least they used to since I haven't heard of many people buying them now) very good PSUs and it will be easily capable, I've only ever heard of one person having a problem with one which is a very good reliability record although they obviously aren't a major manufacturer. My X-Pro 400w is still chugging away with an A64 3400, 6800gt and 3 hard drives which is a configuration basically unchanged for over 2 years now. :)
 
ive got a dual core CPU and SLI 7600's running on the xpro 460 watt PSU, its rock stable. should cope with the x1950pro fine
