Author Topic: New Video Card  (Read 1569 times)

700 watts is enough. the 660 is a low power card and you might even have slight room for overclocking

I have 2 of them. I just want to be sure.

i get it. yes, you should have enough

If it turns out that I don't. What could happen? Do I just burn out the PSU? Or do I blow something up?

None of the above, it's more than likely one of the cards just won't turn on

your whole computer will explode into a million bits
but seriously you'd probably be seeing a lot of graphical anomalies and such
but don't worry, 700 is enough.

They also make PSUs that shut down immediately before any damage is done.

Ok, sweet, so the worst that could happen is simply nothing? The card just wont run?

That is fantastic. I just wanted to be sure I wouldn't burn anything out.

Off topic, but this also reminds me I need to trash my stuffty off-brand chinese PSU and get a good one
