600 Watt good enough ?

[guy93]

would a 600 watt psu be able 2 handle an 8800 GTX? i have just upgrades to a 600 from a 300 just so i can use that card.

im current using

2.66 GHZ CPU
1 GB RAM
Nvidia Geforce 7300 Le
250 GB Hard Drive
Windows XP

That was all from when i had a 300 watt psu, now i upgraded to a 600 watt, will it be good enough for a 8800 GTX ?

That depends a huge part on the brand and model. There are plenty of "600W" PSUs out there that would be lucky to earn a 350W rating from a decent manufacturer.

its a OCZ 600 Watt PSU

For a single 8800GTX that is plenty.

You'll be fine even with 2 of them in SLI. I have an OCZ GameXstreme 600w PS and I'm using 2 GeForce 8800GTs in SLI with no problems at all.🙂

the 8800GTX uses a lot more power than the 8800GT...
