 |  Hrrm I wonder...if an X1950XT will have enough power I'm just curious if I were to sell my 7900GS for about 130 and then pay another 40 or 50 for an open box X1950XT if my cheap Rosewill 450w could run it. I know the X1950XT usues around the same power as an 8800GTS and i have heard that those can run on pretty low watts. This PSU has 30 Amps combined on the rails and outputs it says a max 435w. I doubt I would have problem with wattage as I don't run really too many extras. I'm more worried if I would have the Amps to run it. All of the minimum specs I have seen say either 28 or 30 amps on the rails and a 450w PSU. Even if it's just for a little while until I can get the Xclio 500w or something even. The X1950XT blows a 7900GS out of the water and for only 40 bucks more after I sell my card thats a steal.

Any PSu can run any PC aslong as its above 350W for non SLI Setups, and about 450-500W for the Extreme Quad Core 4GB Ram SLI Setups. Dont worry about it. X1950XT is super fast. It'll be fine.

| Re: Hrrm I wonder...if an X1950XT will have enough power I thought Watts didnt matter as much as amps on the 12v rails?? and obviously brand as that depicts quality? Matt

| Re: Hrrm I wonder...if an X1950XT will have enough power I'm running a X1950XT on a Vantec 520W, so that Corsair should be fine.
