Along with what everyone else is saying, you have an 850Watt PSU so what if the 2900XT requires a lot of power, lol.

I already have a 2900XT , the card that is known to take up a whole whack of power haha.
I'm considering updating it to a EVGA GTS 250 512MB. Is it worth it ? My res is 1024 by 768 and I play COD 4 , Crysis etc. I get like 24 FPS with my 2900XT , will the performance be drastically increased ? Thanks. |
