Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit Imperial Beach, Ca. |
Just cruisin' my favorite forum and landed on this interesting thread. Saw the links for High End, Mid Range, and Low End cards and decided to check the low end cards. Couldn't find my Geforce 9500GT. Looked in the Mid Range list, and, woohoo! Turns out I'm using a Low End Mid Range Card, so I'm good to go.

The manufacturers assume you have a low quality PSU that would be lucky to put out half of the rated output in the real world. So they overstate requirements to protect themselves against users who buy those trashy PSUs.
You can research that card and find out its true power usage to see how many watts you really need. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Ignatz Special; 4 speed manual gearbox; factory air conditioning; one of one

By the way, when a manufacturer recommends X's amount of wattage, it means that the whole system should be fine (average system) with 500w
