| | Answering your last question first then the answer is a resounding yes! For $100 you can get a much better card but it will all depend on what power supply you have in your case. Make, model, watts and more importantly how many amps are on the 12v rail. If you don't know then can you get the make and model from the side of the psu. To do that just take side of computer and look for something that resembles the pic below. Its the white label like the one shown. |

| | Buy the XFX Radeon HD 5750 1GB PCIe GDDR5 w/EyeFinity at TigerDirect.ca this is a better value, im just worried about space with a 2 slot card that is why i initially choose a single, but i need to take a look at my pc and take some inside measurements forsure |

| | @Krispy only difference in the cards you chose the 5670 doesnt need a extra power for it to work but the 5750 requires a 6 pin power conect just in case you were wondering that is a better card but i think it is recommended 500 watt atleast for the 5700 series to work |

If it's flaky, by all means upgrade PSU. If not... Last edited by rvbfan; 01-04-2011 at 04:24 PM.. |

| | well can't argue with that proof is in the pudding but i would think it needed more as recommended on the box lol but hey i don't make the rules lol  ok i just looked at my two boxes the hd 5770 and the hd 6870 the hd 5770 minimal 450 watt you're in good shape the hd 6870 500 watt minimal so you should be alright as far as 350 watt go probally pushing it but hey must be a hell of a tough psu |

| | i know a 450watts is perfect for the 5xxx radeon series and 450 fermis, was more worried about space but i measured it out and a double slot card should fit just fine(ive got a good 9 inch length clearence and the extra slot) im looking to maby get this Buy the Sparkle GeForce GTS 450 (Fermi) FPB 1GB GDDR PCIe at TigerDirect.ca looks good for the price point |
