7850 graphics card for XPS 8300?
Posted: Sun Aug 26, 2012 3:40 am
Hi,
I would like to upgrade my current graphics card in my Dell XPS 8300. At the moment I have 6670 HD card which is somewhat weak. After doing some research 7850 seems to be the best option to go for. My PSU has 460W and I was wondering whether that would be enough for 7850 card. I am not using anything unnecessary, I have a normal keyboard, normal mouse and headphones. No blue-ray drives, no additional hard drives, no SSD, etc.
In your review you've said that 550W would be enough for crossfire and that you were using just 260W at full load.

I was thinking about buying XFX DD due to its cooling power:
