Can my power supply support either a 7600GT or a x1950GT?

[PC eye]

Can it handle the x1950GT, 1 IDE, 1 SATA, 1 CD-RW, 1 CPU fan and 1 case fan?

What is the nVidia equivalent of a x1950GT? I heard they make less noise, use less power, etc.

A 600w model is more then the 550w supply used here for two optical burners(cd and dvd), two 250gb ide hard drives, and two 500gb sata drives. The two favored models over the GT would be the XT and XTX models as far as the card is concerned. But the supply would give you surplus power as well.

Hi..

I'm really sorry but I'm not very computer smart so I didn't understand what you were trying to get across.

A 600w supply would easily handle the not so larger demand for power on the XP1950GT as well as other devices, drives, hardwares and leave some extra onhand. The NVidia competitors are the 7900 and 7950 models. The XT and XTX models are more performance geared then the GT line for gaming and other things.

i had the same exact powersupply and it ran a ati radeon x1650 pro prefect i had a logisys and 480 watts

That card has a larger vpu chip on it then the X1300 Pro in use here at the present. But the Antec True Power 2 480w model I loaned out with a 550w model now in use would easily have run the system with it. And that is with having twice as many drives installed here. 1 cd writer, 1 dvd burner, 2 ide HDs, and 2 sata HDs as well. That also includes having three 120mm case fans(two on side cover) along with a 140mm front intake.

Okay, now you people are confusaling me..

This one:

will run my x1950GT with no problem, correct?

 

[chupacabra]

Either way that or the ultra model in page 3, do no got cheap like 20$ on a 500 watts psu, the lower the price and the "higher" the wattage that "shows" the worst the psu is

Yes.

 

[leet6thgrader]

Can this one run a x850 Pro?

Cutting it a little fine, but yes, it should work. A 7600GT would probably be a better buy, though.

 

[leet6thgrader]

Ah ok, 7600GT is less expensive too so I guess I'll get the 7600GT and that PSU or the x1950GT and the more expensive PSU.

Here I would have gone with the XClio and X1950 but that's me. But I already have a good 550w and just need a better card. But you have to decide there based on your budget. Eventually I have to swap everything but the supply, drives, case, keyboard, mouse, etc.

(you need to write a sticky ceewi1. I don't see the HIPro on either list.)

Okay today is buying day and I will be buying this PSU, a HiPRO HP-E4009, for this XFX 7600GT AGP that I bought yesterday.

I'll be in business right?

 

[PC eye]

It wouldn't be a choice for a supply here. But a 400w should still work for a budget deal. The general power recommendation seen on just about all boards now is at least 350w so you are covered there.

 

[spearball]

That power supply you chose is good enough. Should last you a long time

 

[PC eye]

The most reliable supplies while seeing a higher price are ones like the Antec TP II 430w model seen at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817103928

Mwave.com sees a better price there for the same model at http://www.mwave.com/mwave/viewspec.hmx?scriteria=BA23049

 

[leet6thgrader]

okay i bought the hipro so yeah.. thanks everyone.

Hope that works out for you there. Just keep in mind that too low a price isn't generally good. But summer discounts will see many items come down pricewise. When you are ready to upgrade later you can always a better one.
