eVGA 7800GT Power

[1ceHacka]

Been reading some things that the7800GT needs a lot of power otherwise you get artifacts...what is a good psu for this card (I also have a dual core processor)

if you want overkill, more then you will ever need.. OCZ powerstream 520

I use an Antec TP2 550 and it does the job very nicely.

 

[greenmaji]

do you already have the 7800GT?

Here you go, good read for power consumption of graphics cards.

OCZ is a dressed up Fortron with stiff cabling. Antec is made by CWT and CWT is having a
love affair with FUhjyYU capacitors, a KNOWN bad brand.

Do you want modular, 80mm fan for cross flow cooling or 120mm fan for less effective
but good downward cooling.?
