can my PSU handle this?

[mizzou]

I have about $125.00 to spend on a card. If I can find a 9800gt bundled w/ a sweet game then I will get the 9800gt definitely, but otherwise I like the performance of the 4830

Also, IF I can bribe my wife I might be able to get an extra $$ guilt free and get something like the 4850


PSU is ENERMAX switching power supply EG465P +12V 20a total power estimated 431W

I have been posting about thinking about buying lately but the price range and reviews of 9800gt and 4830 are getting me off the fence


current card is 7900gs
CPU AMD x2 939 5000
2g RAM
sli board

I suppose you're talking about this one. If so I believe it's enough, as the minimum for the 9800GT is a 400W PSU.

yeah, I just need to hear from people who actually have these cards. I don't buy the minimum ratings because my PSU might be a 700w cheap PSU for all I know =) Or maybe my PSU is a POC

Your PSU has 22A + 20A of 12v power, not 20A. It likely wouldn't have any problems running a 9800GT.

22A + 20A = 32A



The PSU is Crossfire certified.
