What are the problems that will occur if i use a lower rate PSU than the minimum power rating PSU needed by my GPU ?
My PSU-160 W
GPU requirement-400 W

[Skud]

How long have you used that system?

[anupam_pb]

@ ^^
I'm using this config from 25 dec 2010. It doesn't give much problems but sometimes while playing games (like GTA 4, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood) for 2-3 hrs continuously , then sometimes my PC hangs up. In GTA 4 a blue screen comes & my PC restarts automatically.

[Skud]

If you really care about your valuable system, get a 500W PSU IMMEDIATELY!!!

[clear_lot]

^ why a 500W PSU?
the card 5670 is low power.

[Skud]

What take chances? If the GPU requirement is 400W, having a 500W PSU makes sense. BTW, have you posted any benchmark scores (3DMarks) of your 580? Really eager to know how it is performing in tandem with a E7300.

What will happen if i continue using my 160W PSU ?

[funkysourav]

Run it and find out, 'cause we too don't know for sure
it can be Diwali or or Big Crunch or Smoke on the water
Jokes apart, a good 400w PSU makes sense to me
get yourself a FSP Saga II 400w@ 2k or 350w@1.5k which will be cutting a little close

whoa!!

its not in the safe limits
better to go for 400W at least as the other members has pointed out

[anupam_pb]

Nothing close to that happened till now

Will my PC be out of danger if i buy a cheap PSU like Zebronics 450W(Model : PS48-ZEB 450WT MICRO POWER SUPPLY) @ Rs 650 ?

Spend some more for absolute peace of mind.

Nothing much.
The psu will be destroyed or mobo (and any component attached to it) will be damaged beyond repair.

I really doubt if that is a 160W PSU. are you sure about it? and yes, zeb 450W is much safer but if you have extra bucks, go for better PSUs from FSP, Corsair, CM etc.

[anupam_pb]

Th max. load of my PSU is 160W, it clearly printed.

I will try 2 get a cheap 400W(or 450W) PSU

Oh my, can you take a pic and show us? We'll be very happy to see this, perfect smps for microprocessor projects.

[cute.bandar]

Yes even I am curious about the exact make of this PSU. is it a fanlesss one ?

[anupam_pb]

The manufacturer's name is Enhance. I'l post pic afterwards. Actually the PSU is in my cabinet from 2004 October.
Ya it has a fan

[sam]

Enhance is a n well known PSU maker. makes PSU & also takes order (OEM) but still a 160W PSU for such a rig. someone is taking a hell lot of punishment. either the PSU is overloading like hell or your GPU & mobo-proccy combo is feeding on half power.

hey guyz tell me which one is better

Sapphire Radeon HD 6850 1GB DDR5 or AMD Radeon 6850 1Gb DDR5???

Sapphire is a vendor who sells gfx cards based on AMD/ATI chipset. So the Sapphire HD 6850 is the AMD Radeon 6850 with different looks, aesthetic and maybe some other physical differences. The cards are same. As for better, go for the Sapphire one.

[vaibhav23]

i was seeing the features of sapphire 6770 and saw that it supports physics processing .So is that as good as the PhysX of nvidia cards

That's a twisted statement, it supports physics processing but no sdk exists, so no games use it.

PS: Guys, its finally here, what say about the price?
MSI N560GTX-Ti Hawk Grpahic Card--Free Shipping

[nilgtx260]

^^ damn good product with reasonable price

[reflexx20]

actually lookwise i like the AMD one instead of sapphire and are their any major performance differences.......or both have same performance level???

did you read Psychosocial's reply?

AMD manufactures the chip. Sapphire manufactures the card.

Whats the specs of your current system ?

If you are unsure, goto 'Run' and type 'dxdiag' (without the quotes) and post everything you see in the 'System' tab over here.
