Do I need to upgrade my power supply if i were to change a new graphic card??

[Hiew Zken]

I heard people saying that changing a new graphic card would need to change a new power supply
Is that so ?

It depends on what power supply you have, what card you are looking to run, and your full system specs.

Could do. Depends on what the new card is and what power supply you've already got.
