Vid card step-up from gtx260 to gtx295

[Vampirrella]

I have the option to do the step-up thing from BFG's website to a gtx295. Looking at my psu (see sig below) can i even run this gtx295 on a 600w psu? How can i find this out how much each component draws off the psu?

That rig with a GTX295 will pull ~400w from the wall, which is like 320w DC


Yes 600w is plenty

What resolution are you running? If less than 1920x1200 - just don't bother, you will see very little advantage from more GPU muscle.

600W PSU wil be plenty.

I would replace the PSU. Only 2 18A 12V rails is quite low for a 600W.
