Just get a 7750 card it does not require a power plug from the psu. It is the most powerful card out that does not require a psu plug.

:comeon: so you needa know how to install a power supply to be able to determine what makes good graphics?

:snoop: i guess imma need to know how to build a air plane before i say if it was a bumpy flight or not...

i guess i needa be able to build a car engine before i can say if the car drives well or not

i guess i oughta be able to build a human child with nothing but atoms n dna before i say your kids look ugly or not :skip::comeon:
LOL @ this dude getting all defensive. Now all of a sudden you are not so confident with your stance huh? You and swagnificent were talking mad shyt in that graphics thread and @Malta was trying to explain to you morons that in order to produce graphics that you idiots expect out of a cot damn PS4 would require a power supply with an output in the THOUSANDS :laff:

This thread just confirms what some already know...you don't know shyt about technology. Basic common sense should tell you that a damn 250w PSU will not power up a 660

You def. need a biggest PSU. Do not skimp on the PSU, throw your budget in the bushes. Remember your PSU powers your mobo, gpu, cpu, etc. If the PSU blows, you run the risk of destroying everything it is attached to.

:what: the hell are some of you guys talking about?? Breh you don't need a huge power supply to power up that card. The reason the requirements states that is because some guys hook up their video cards with external fans to two video cards(sli or crossfire) and they're overclocking both the CPU and GPU which will stress the power supply. If your just putting it in you're good to go man. :smh: @ the blatant misinformation in here.... Go ahead do it.

black love, unity, and music
only thing ive ever installed has been a oooold graphics card and a hard drive, should i get someone to install the psu or is it easy enough to do solo:leostare:

its a little tricky, but nothing you cant figure out. Just open your pc and look at all the places your current PSU is connected. You should have 2 cables going into the mother board, one going to each harddrive and optical drive, and one going to the graphics card. You will likely need a new PSU because 250W is barely enough to power a barebones PC.

Invest in a coolermaster brand btw. Far more stable than the other brands IMHO.

:ooh: but isn't that a weak card? i need my shyt on ultra

Nope its a pretty good card, It can run most newer games at on high with 45 fps @ 1980x1080. I have the card with my AMD FX-6300 cpu. Of course a 7770 is slightly better but not better enough to warrant a new psu to run it. Honestly if you going to upgrade your psu you should get at least a 7850.
