Howdy y'all,

I have a BFG 6800 Ultra OC and my power supply is a 430 Watt ps that came in my ThermalTake case (I think it's a Pure Power or something).

Anywho, the BFG 6800 Ultra box states "Minimum 480 Watt Power Supply".

Question 1: Will it hurt the card to run on a 430 Watt PS? It seems to be working fine, no problems in Doom3.

Question 2: If I get a new PS, what brand / model should I get? I don't want to shell out money for a POS PS :p

Thanks,

Mike
 
ur psu should be fine, if you were to get a new one anyway i'd suggest OCZ, PPC, forton/sparkle, tagan
 
OCZ 420 Watt would even work fine for it, that rating is probably to cover PSU's with exagerated ratings.

:rolleyes:
 
Yeah, the OCZ 420w has 30A on the 12v...that's crazy for a 420, mine has 18A...I'm also getting a 6800GT, should I upgrade my psu? :eek:
