Which graph to use

[rbg1978]

Thanks for your answers. In the end I am sure I will go with the 6850.

Regarding the power supply, I have been using it for over 2 years and I have not had any problems... that is, I only have one hard drive, a burner and a PCI wifi. I am not going to do crossfire, SLI, overclocking or anything like that.

Using this watt calculator, it tells me that my system, with the 6850, would need a 300 W power supply.

I ask, can I safely continue using my current "clumsy" power supply? Or is it dangerous even if it only consumes 300 W of its "theoretical" 900 W?

Thank you very much again for your attention!

What amperage (12V) does the power supply sticker say?

Editing: Most likely nothing will happen or if it breaks, no components will be damaged, but of course with a good power supply you have even less chance of any of these annoyances happening. If you can sell it or put it in a more modest luxury equipment, otherwise, as you see, if it's too bad to leave for about 50-60€, go with the one you have.

Focusing on 12V which is what matters, you will consume about 250W of the 336 it has. If you can afford it I would change it, if it doesn't last, there is no other option :ugly:

That power supply on its +12V line (the one that matters) is like one of ~400W, which is enough for your computer, but if you can spend ~60€ on a decent 550-600W 80+ or better Bronze power supply, you will be able to amortize it directly from the savings on electricity consumption, in 1-2 years, in which you will also be better protected.

About the graphics card, if you want to play anything, anything below HD67xx is throwing money away, but of the ones you put, for the price difference: HD6850 +1 :sisi:

Salu2!

PD: The imminent release of several new models (GTX680, HD78xx), should continue to lower prices

30A at 3.3V and 55A at 5V, what a rare power supply :ugly:

How are the calculations made? It's just out of curiosity... Thanks!

Edit: I've already seen it 12 * 28 = 336

Thanks!

Which one would you choose between these 2?

Tacens Radix V 750W - 57 €
Corsair CX600 V2 600W Builder Series - 67 €

If it has to be from that store <:(, choose from this list.

Salu2!

Perdona hombre, no es que te haya ignorado ni nada de eso, todo lo contrario. Era por ver un poco mas de variedad. Al final creo que me quedaré con la AeroCool Strike-X Power 600W por 55€

Muchas gracias a todos por vuestra ayuda.

Si tienes esas dos en mente corsair, pocas marcas he conocido de la calidad de esta marca a excepción de enermax o seasonic.

Una aerocool? que la suerte te acompañe.

Bueno ahora vamos a poner por las nubes a Corair, Cooler Master es de una calidad muy similar. Enermax y Seasonic son de "gama" mas alta.

Que siiii Bm4n que las CM son validas, y también la pongo por las nubes a corsair por muchas razones, pero entre una tacens y una corsair, ya me dirás y cooler master no están mal las Gx, de las que me compraria de CM serian las pro gold , pero no me las puedes comparar con esas que expone.

Corsair tiene productos muy buenos, pero esa Builder es normalita, aunque si la otra opción es Tacens, me valdría casi cualquier cosa :troll:

Sobre esa Aerocool tan discreta <:(, no pude encontrar ninguna review seria sobre ella, pero mejor que lo que tiene es, y el 80 Bronze no lo regalan.

Salu2!
