Jasku said:Hey guys, if I indeed do go for the 4850 which is highly likely, cause I dont think I would make use of a more powerful GPU, so here is my question..
I currently have the Antec Smart power 450W, would this suffice for the 4850?
If no, how bout the 9800GTX+??
Anish said:Well the 9800GTX+ states a 425W PSU as its requirement, and 450W is like walking on the edge!
What are you 12v ratings? AFAIK its a Dual Rail PSU right?
abhisheksahas said:but isn't the 9800GTX+ a 55nm card ... so it should be drawing lesser power

mutant said:i have a similar doubt, i am currently running a 7900gt on Cooler Master 450W power supply with 18A on 12v as peak, so i was wondering do i need to get a new psu for either 4850 or 9800gtx+ ?
Funky said:There is no risk in trying. Your PSU should be just about enough for single 4850. Change it only if you experience stability issues after you get the card. No point in just assuming that it wont work and investing in new PSU when you might just get away with the current one.
And guys his system is not that much oced or carrying too many drives ( i am assuming you are using same system as in your sig ).
