Bohemianbeatle · 01-12-2009, 09:43 AM

Hi there guys, I was wondering if my current PSU can handle a GTX 295...

Thermaltake Toughpower 700W
Q9550 2.83Mhz
ASUS P5Q PRO
8GB ram DDR2 800
SB X-Fi Gamer Fatality
1 TB HDD
200 GB HDD

Cheers!

Sort of unrelated...But Is your copy of XP Pro 64 bit or 32 bit?

Oh yea, I forgot to update that info... my current OS is Vista 64 bits

The power supply you have might be enough to pull that card, but you need to know that it will be near the end of it's capability if it did run it. Just so we are clear, that is a great power supply so not knocking the power supply, only the size concerns me a bit.

If this were my rig, I would want an 850 to run that baby. That is my opinion.
