Would this be enough for a 6800 ultra?

[SofaKing]

I'm thinking of MAYBE purchasing a 6800 ultra, but..

I have an Antec True 380 PSU and an Athlon 64 3200+ s939.

Think this has enough power and cpu juice to handle the ultra?

You can go to the following link to determine your PSU needs.

That PSU calculator is iffy at best. IIRC, nVidia has specific recommendations for the PSU wattage you need for each of their models. Check out the spec sheet PDF at their site. Dunno if the CPU will bottleneck it though. Doubt it.

Yes, That psu will be more than enough.

preferably, i'd get a 420W at least. but those are my 2 cents.

you can never have to much juice....

im thinking it would do fine...unless you have 6 hard drives or something...What else you got in your case..

Better have a "low" wattage QUALITY psu, than vice versa...by far

Is your power supply the 18a +12V version or the 24a +12V version?
If it's the 18a version it could be a little iffy.

Depending on what else you have running it's near the basic requirements for a 6800 Ultra. I would suggestion upping the power in case you want to expand later.

Being that it is an Antec power supply, you should be fine to run the 6800 Ultra. (In all honesty, we sell 6800 Ultras all day long in our Hornet Pro and they work great)

Yeah I know the PSU should be fine. But what I'm really worried about is the CPU. Would it have enough juice to make the ULTRA happy?

I have a Lite-ON 8X dvd-rw drive, one seagate 160 GB drive, and 2 sticks of kingston hyperx ram. that's it.. oh and no floppy drive... one 120 mm case fan, and an audigy 2 soundcard.
