Upgrading GPU, should I get a PSU with it?

[loshon]

Hi Anandtech, I've finally decided on upgrading from my 4850 to the 6850, but I'm still stuck on my PSU (and whether or not my card will run with it). I've got an Antec 450W PSU running my current setup without a problem (E6750 C2D, 3HDs, 4850, Gigbyte P35 DS3R).

So, my question is, am I going to be able to handle a new 6850 with my current setup, or am I forced into upgrading my PSU along with my GPU?

You'll be fine. The 6850 draws quite a bit less power than the 4850.

Thanks a bunch! Looks like I'll order with extreme confidence thanks to this board once again.

Have a good one!
