I am planning to buy gts 450 cyclone ...my psu is FSp saga II 350w ...

can it handle it ?please advice

my system specs
----------------

AMD X2 560 /M2N68AM+/ samsung 2GB DDR2 /samsung 160g HDD/FSP SAGA II 350W /ZEBRONICS TANATAN with one 80mm fan /DELL D1920HD 19"

it'll handle but i'll suggest HD5670 512Mb. to be on safer side.

HD5670 1 GB @ 5.2k I like mine

 

[vickybat]

Yes, 5670 is good enough for a resolution of 1366x768. It doesn't require an external power connector unlike the gts 450.

Hey for how much will you get the 9800gt, I am also planning to get it

 

[neojjjk]

not at all
9800gt is power hungry card
it will require at least 500W of reliable supply

u should go for HD 5670 as suggested by other members
its better than 9800gt in performance and still consumes much less power

rest depends on u

 

[neojjjk]

I don't like ATi cards ...I had one 5850 and 5470 ...I hate their drivers..I will buy nvidia only..

 

[coderunknown]

than better look out for GTS250. better than 9800GT & runs cooler. 9800GT is old. GTX580 is out & you are sticking to 9800GT. i know GTX580 is priced really high but GTS250 is still avl & can be considered a good card for those who don't want a AMD/ATI card.

 

[neojjjk]

^^ ya, gts 250 and 450 is a good option....but they have shipped 9800gt..I hope I will get it today

 

[abirthedevil]

lol have fun running the 9800GT on your 350W PSU

 

[ssb1551]

Well fun will start once fumes start coming out!!

 

[furious_gamer]

^^ 9800GT is not that much bad..

 

[coderunknown]

no. that 350W PSU will run 9800GT without any problem till OP don't try to show his OC skills. its from FSP & not some crappy brand nor it is from CM Extreme Power.

 

[Piyush]

still 350 W looks shaky to me

@OP
best of luck dude

 

[neojjjk]

check this thread...our forum member is using the same psu in his i3+gts 450 rig
*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/hardware-q/130200-will-fsp-saga-ii-350w-support-5770-a.html
I am not an overclocker....will run games like motogp08, sbk,BFBC2(medium setting w/o aa)..
resolution is 1366 x768
no plans to run any benchmark softwares

 

[Piyush]

because thats GTS 450
a lot less power hungry then 9800gt

u can go for his one if u want i..e GTS 450

 

[neojjjk]

nah ...the difference is very small

but be sure u dont go for any sort of OCing

i just calculated ur wattage roughly
it turned out to be 278W
