Power supply for new graphicscard
Hello, I'm new here and I'm a huge rookie with hardware upgrades etc. That said, here's my "problem". I'll explain as good as I can... here it goes:
I will start of with my system specs: AMD Phenom™ X4 9500 quad-core processor 3 GB DDR2 Dual Channel RAM 500 GB S-ATA harddrive, 8 MB Cache, speed:7200 tpm NVIDIA® GeForce® 9500 GT / 256 MB DDR3 SDRAM Past Problem: In the past, I tried to change my videocard, but the new one didn't fit my rig... that's when I realised that I don't know anything about pc 'modding'. I need help with this. I don't want to make the same mistake twice. New Problem: I want to change my Geforce 9500GT with a GeForce 9800GX2. Concernes: - Powersupply: The GeForce 9800GX2 uses more than 500 watt. Now, I don't know what my powersupply is right now. Does anyone know what the powerconsumption is of a Geforce 9500GT card? - Bus-type: The GeForce 9800GX2 uses PCI Express 2.0. I thought I read somewhere that the geforce 9500GT uses this too. I need confirmation on this. Sollutions: - Can someone help me with powersupply-thingy... I absolutely don't know anything about that. Where can I find the powersupply capacity that I have know? Where can I find powersuppliers, what sort does a desktop use? - The Bus-type is okay I think, just need confirmation from one of you guys. - Are there other things I have to worry about? Please tell me. Thanks in advance Last edited by Servaasd : 06-09-2008 at 06:34 AM. |
