Arrow Best Graphics card that will work under a 300w PSU
Yup, basically the title says it all. I am wondering what ones of the latest, or recent graphics cards will run on a 300w PSU.

will some of those low end ATI 4660 or whatevers work, i ran a XFX XXX OC'd 8600GTS on my old HP with a 300w. so i know that is my range..

This is for a HP build so im just wondering what i should buy.

Thanks
