Unlocked X850GTO2 Power consumption. How much?

[Procharger]

I've got one on the way and my current powersupply is a Sparkle 400W I bought a two or three years back. Will this Sparkle be enough or do I need more power?

I can't imagine why it wouldn't be enough unless you plan to overclock the card and run it at max.... BTW, there is no such card as the X850GTO². ;)

errrr :bang head I don't know why I keep calling it that because I know it's called an X800GTO2 but I guess it's one of those things I do subconsciously because I want it to run like an X850XT PE.

I know what you mean.... once you get all the kinks worked out of that setup please post some results in my thread...... link in my sig. Good luck with that.

If you have a high consumption hard drive setup, or some reason that your PSU is currently being stressed, then you might need to look at a more powerful supply. However, in most scenarios, that Sparkle will do fine with the X800GTO² added. Good luck!
