Can my shuttle (250W) power supply support for Radeon 4670?

Hi all.

I am just wondering whether my 250W in shuttle pc can support for new graphic card or not.

I am thinking of radeon 4670 which is known to be using 60w on maximun load.

Currently cpu is cunsuming 65w (AMD 64 x2 5000+) and there is one hdd, one 1G ram on the mobo.

how do you think about it? all of them on the 250w of the power. will this work?

Thank you in advance.
 
I've always toyed with the idea of a SFF PC, but the small capacity of the power supplies in them made me worry about a discrete graphics card. I know there isn't much in the way of perpherals to use power, but when the power supply is just 250 or 300W and the video card recommends a minimum of 400 or 450W it worries me. Do they rate them differently?

Sometimes 250W = 400W. 😀

Graphics card manufacturers overshoot what the card actually requires because they know a lot of power supplies don't live up to their label (see this for an example). Shuttle XPC power supplies, however, usually lives up to their label.
