ATI video card question

[boner]

hey guys what type of PSU should i get for this video card??
SAPPHIRE 100172L Radeon X1550 256MB 128-bit GDDR2 PCI Express x16 Video Card
i already have two and both of them gives me 450W total and one of them has 18A and the other one has 22A
the 18 one came with my Xion II case and the other one(22A) it's a RAIDMAX

i assume the amps your posting are the +12V rail ones? I would go with the raidmax one, it has more amps and i've heard of a fair bit of psu's that come with xion's dieing. if plan on going crossfire, you should probably get a new psu but that raidmax one should run your rig fine unless you have a quadcore.

well... this card does not has a crossfire slope or whatever it is called

Then you should be fine with that raidmax but get other peoples opinions, I'm not a pro.

 

[boner]

well thanks for your advise, i will try to do that tomorrow im too tired to do it right now lol

raidmax will work fine for that card.

is it my imagination or is there a ddr3 version of that gfx card?

 

[boner]

dont think so lol

If you can help it, dont get that video card. Try either a 7600GT, X1650XT for a cheapie card, or if you can put a bit more money, 7900GS or X1950Pro.

X1550s don't require external power, so depending on how much power your CPU sucks up, either PSU should work fine. If you use PCI Express, make sure they have a 24pin motherboard connector. 😉
