Sapphire ATI 6950 2GB GFX card too much for PSU?
My nVidea 7900GT graphics card (full system spec in my sig) is starting to struggle with it being DX9 and all so I'm looking for an upgrade but I'm not sure what to get.
I got a Dell U2311H monitor, so an average sized 1080p monitor.
My budget is about 200 euro so I was looking at the 6950 2GB but I'm not sure if it's too powerful for my needs (some gaming like STALKER: Call of Pripyat but mainly photoshop and movies).
It's also a little above my budget but I think it's worth spending the extra for the 2GB version for the chance to unlock it to a 6970 if it's not overly powerful.
Concern is whether or not my 450W Corsair PSU can handle such a modern graphics card. Is the card too big for my PSU? If so, what card would you recommend?
Not needing to upgrade for a few years would definitely be a prerequisite!
Thanks in advance!
