why when you look at graphics cards on like newegg it doesn't say how much wattage it needs from the PSU.

why.

[Titanium Man]

well you won't be needing above 500w for high end video cards anyways
and a 400w should pull off some lower end ones

[Tetris]

does GTX 770 count as high end?

does GTX 770 count as high end?

yup

I'm planning on upgrading my GPU from an NVIDIA GeForce GT 620 to a 670 and was wondering about what else I would need to upgrade along with that.
It's a prebuilt Dell XPS 8500 I got online.

About my Computer (Will post more if it is necessary)
-Video Card : NVIDIA GeForce GT 620
-PSU : 460w (already planned to upgrade it, just don't know to what extent, would like to know)
-Processor : Intel Core i7-3770 CPU (3.40GHz)
-16 GB of RAM
-2 TB Hard Drive Space
-My monitor's resolution is 1920 x 1080

I plan to play games such as PAYDAY 2, Borderlands 2, and Planetside 2 at a higher FPS than I already do (I don't care if I have to turn down the resolution as long as it's fast, around ).

would recommend upgrading to the r9 280x instead, it is cheaper while the performance is much greater

i found the solution to his problem by clicking the first link when i typed it "TBVerifier.dll problem"

is it seriously so hard

Wtf? My google search came up with nothing. ;-;

Would it require any extra components for either card? A new fan, cooling? I don't have intentions of overclocking or anything, I'm not a wiz with computers.

no, all graphic cards come with fans/heatsink already installed. you might want a higher power supply unit just in case though

Thank you so much!

Ready go with this new build. I might not even get the PSU since I already have a quality 500W. What do you guys think?

Is there any point of upgradeing to R9 270X.

what do you have now

[Awdax]

Not sure about the 270X, but isn't the R9 270 just a re-branded HD 7850?

yes, pretty much
but all of the nvidia line besides the 780's are just rebranded cards too
