Hi
Yesterday i got my new Sapphire 3850 512 and i installed it, got latest drivers and started testing it. For my big surprise i only had 4071 3dmarks (06). My rig is not extraordinary ( PentiumD 3.0 GHz, 2 GB memory) but i still think i'm too far from the scores they have in benchmarks (9000+).
then i turned to the PSU. I don't have a good brand 550W PSU http://myfreefilehosting.com/f/7dbc8fab19_0.52MB (here's a picture) and i'm afraid it doesn't deliver enough power to my HD. It says it has 24A/+12V rail and in the specification of the HD3850 it's stated that they recommend a 30A/12V rail.
so, what do u say?
thanks for your help!
