Radeon 6850 on 430w psu?

[owenwxm]

Hello, I am wondering whether my current 430w psu can handle a radeon 6850. My psu is a Corsair 430w cx v2 or something like that.

My system spec:
CPU: FX 4100
500gb hard drive
6gb 1333mhz memory
Radeon 6770.

Also, how much of a performance increase will I see in terms of fps?

Thanks in advance.

The HD6850 needs 500W and 40Amps on the 12v rail. Your Corsair 430watt PSU only has 32Amps at best, I wouldn't run it on that, It will run with little load, but I would risk it. Remember the whole system needs power as well, not just the card.

Upgrade your psu or get hd 7770 which will work with your psu.
