    Hello there, could you elaborate more?

    Which ATI Radeon card did you buy?

    Which PSU do you have?

    Here's my chart for Graphics Cards/PSU, requirements, wattage and amperage

    Well, actually you can go with a 5670 because the wattage of your PSU is enough, but you'll be a little tight with amperage, also.. your PSU has 2 +12V Rails, so that means you have to balance them or the PSU could be unstable :)

    Also - do not take the WEI as gospel. It's a very poor benchmark to compare real world usage to.
