sapphire x1900xtx 512mb and powersupply

[sonoma1993]

I just order a sapphire x1900xtx 512 from newegg, I'm curious if my power supply going to be strong enough for it.

Antec TRUEPOWERII TPII-430 ATX12V 430W Power Supply

I know it has 17amp each on the two 12volt rails.

The other components I'm currently running in my system is listed in my signature.

Odds are, it will work, but thats cutting it fairly close. I've got an X2 4200, X1900XT, 2GB RAM, 4 SATA hdds, and 2 DVD/RW drives running off a 450w Fortron. My system doesn't suffer from power issues, but the 450w Fortron has a little more ampherage on the 12v rails than the Antec does.

Give it a shot. I got the same card running in a Dell Precision 390 with a 375W PSU along with an E6400. 3DMark06 hit a little over 5880 points.

It'll be enough, but you may find you need an upgrade in 1-3 years.

Well I just bought a new powersupply last night. I just bought it to be on the safe side. I got an Antec 550 NeoHe. It has three 12v rails, each rail has 18amps

Overkill but a decent psu. Hope that works out for you, how much did you pay? Has it worked thus far?

The powersupply cost me about $157. I got it from best buy. It working out good so far. My videocard should be here on thursday. The thing I like about this power supply is that cable mangement . It cool being able to plug the cables you need to use.
