Need help with new gpu

[ckmoney4]

i have a 550w PSU i wanted to buy a HD radeon 6570 2gb gddr3 it says on the page i need a minimum 400w for hd radeon 6570 and 500w greater for crossfire mode what is crossfire??

In short, Crossfire means running two of the same GPUs (is "bridged" the correct term?). Basically the power requirement increases because you're running two cards at the same time.

So can i run this gpu with my psu without any fan or cooler?

 

[huilun02]

You can run it fine. The card comes with its own fan to keep itself cool.

can it work with my mobo geforce 6100pm-m2 v 3.0?

 

[huilun02]

That is one old motherboard. Surprised to see one with the name GeForce in it. But yes the new card should work fine with it.

Your mobo has a PCIe x16 slot so it should be compatible. It only really needs 60-90W of power by itself so you'll be fine.

You don't need RAM for a GPU. It has its own GDDR3 memory.

Edit: Check out the system requirements at the manufacturer's website:

PCI Express® based PC is required with one X16 lane graphics slot available on the motherboard
400 Watt or greater power supply recommended
Minimum 1GB of system memory
