[hashim1991]

Can HD 7850 1 gb run on PSU 460 watt , Power Cooler RS-460-PCAR-D3 460W PSU. I have intel i3 2120 3.3ghz with 4 gb ram or should i buy hd 7790 for safer side .

The PSU review is not good but is OK, like it said if you don't use more than 420W you are OK. So try to find out how much watt for your PC first.

I heard Hd 7790 use less power consumption , is there are any major difference between them ? Also i am not computer geek i cant able to fill out that link

Yes, HD7790 does use less power, but it is two tiers lower than the HD7850. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review,3107-7.html

I heard if my psu cant able to handle its power then anyways i cant able to play games on ultra so isnt it better if i purchased ASUS HD7790-DC2OC-1GD5 then hd 7850 1gb ?

If the PSU can't handle the HD7850, I mean when you play the game the PSU can't output the power that whole system need, then the PC will shutdown, and overtime it is not good for other PC components, and that why we always recommend to get the good PSU.

So better if i stay with hd 7790 because my PSU is not really compatibale with hd 7850 . Can you tell me that if the difference between hd 7790 and hd 7850 is huge ?

Here is one of the review. http://www.anandtech.com/show/6837/amd-radeon-7790-review-feat-sapphire-the-first-desktop-sea-islands/12

Seems like 10 fps difference in comparsion , well i can afford that 10 fps hiccup rather then burning my machine with 460 psu watt

If you don't mind, get the HD7790.
