My Radeon 9800 pro is faulty,so I am upgrading to a more powerful card.
I am buying a new 256mb card and I am undecided between Geforce 6800GT or Radeon x800pro.
Both of these cards seem desirable but I am worried about power supply/wattage requirements for them to run within my PC.
How do I find what my system power output is? and whether or not the card will be too demanding?
I realise newer cards require a seperate power supply from within the PC to function as did my Radeon 9800 pro but need to know if these newer cards will be ok.
My system; Dell Dimension 8300 :3ghz,I875 chipset,dual channel 2x512 crucial 3200 ram
