fortron 350

Post by Danzie »

I would like to replace my 3450 ati radeon with a 4670 ati radeon
Is my system strong enough and espacially my power supply

I have a amd phenom 8450 with 3 gig ddr2
one harddrive 640 gig sata and one dvd writer
and my maximum resolution is 1440*900
and a fortron power supply 350watt

and when it's not strong enough what can happen with my pc

Yeah, you are going to need a better powersupply before you can really upgrade your card.
