321W, what good graphics cards wud run on this?

lookin to get a new graphics card fer my pc, i opend up the pc for the wattage an it says

"total output of +3.3v and +5v shall not exceed 201W +3, +5V and 12V total output power max is 321W"

so that 321W is the wattage isnt it? but all the graphics cards im lookin at all ask for 350W+, anyone know any good graphics cards that will work under 321W?

Thanks

 

how about u jsut buy a new psu as it looks like u will need to buy a new one anyway.

Not a bad PC but you will need a better power supply if you plan on doing high end gaming. The cards that state a 350WATT minimum is just that MINIMUM. You will want a larger supply than just the minimum.

 

Just get a new psu; lol you can buy a cheap 500 watt psu for 25.00 dollars.

 

are they easy enough to take off and replace?

 

Yes they are easy to fit, but I would not recommend a *cheap* psu as it is a crucial component and if it goes it might take many other parts with it.

You need to buy a good brand psu with atleast 500 watts output and around 30 amps on the 12v rail/s if you are interested in any of the nvidia 8800 offerings.

This is the minimum you should be looking at:

I had a 300W , 16 amps and it worked on my 8800GT

it runsss never had problem with it,

hope this helps lol

 

First off, "+3, +5V and 12V" are not the only lines in the PSU. You have negative ones as well. Chances are you're PSU is 350w though. I think you're biggest mistake was buying a computer off eBay. They always lie about the specs. Well, not lie so much as "bend the truth."

If you're getting a new PSU, which you should, don't buy one that's under $50 unless a sale put it under that mark.

 

Could be a lie.. look at price $399... thats a low price for a good spec :X

but i would never buy used PC thats how i am.
i like it new



But his feedback is great.. is a guy that can trust.

 

ur actually right, the processer wasnt 6.3 as stated, but 3.8, ill have another look at the sticker on the psu, write everything down or maybe take a pic, so maybe someone can see if ive got it right or wrong?

 

still on the 370w psu and no problems after all this time, the card was goin a little hot so i fitted a zalman cooler i had on my 7600gt and its perfect now.

 

It might work for a bit but in the long run will cause performance/stabillity issues and if/when it dies you will have more than the psu to replace in most cases.

 

right, ive writen everything that was there down lol

 

Ugh if I'm reading that correctly that's 10A on the 12V? Rather get a new PSU than risk the rest of your components to damage.

 

doesnt look good then eh lol

 

Uhh, you should go check that again. That's 399 British Pounds. That's over $800.

As for feedback, it can be faked.

 

Yeah i forgot to say is better to buy a good PSU to be safe

that's y i went 460W dual rails with 18 amps on each.

now is getting sufficient power. or w.e

 

PSU are cheap i got mine for 40$ only.. is a dual rails with 18 amps on each!

and my PSU had PCI-E connector etc which is great.

and now my everything on my system is getting enough power

so buy a good PSU to be safe is easy to put it in ^^

 

this is the one im gettin, what yous think?
