ti4200 power usage?

[modedepe]

How much power does one of these use? I only have a 200W power supply. Any chance that would be enough? Thanks.

200W might be a bit small, I believe the GeForce4 Ti4200 uses around 30-40 Watts

What kind of system do you have - what are the system specs?

My thinking too. Although I would have pegged a 4200 a little lower in the 25 -35 watt range. I?ve searched the web and haven't been able to find anything on the power draw of the various graphics cards.

If - you are looking for a good performing graphics card with *lower* power consumption a 9600pro would be the ticket. The hsf on a 9600pro is the same size as on my ATI 7500 64MB card and the 9600?s (non-pro?s) are passively cooled (at least the Sapphire 9600 one I saw reviewed was).

As far as I know, all GF4 require at least 300W. 200W is definetly too low.
