I can get a real good deal on a 5970 (see specs in sig). Is my power supply enough to handle this beast?

i am sorry
do you think that a 620PSU actually produces 620 watt ?

I've heard of it producing more. The 620HX really is a beast.
I'm basically trading some old P4 computer parts, 2x2gb of 800mhz ram, x-fi platinum card + $100 for the 5970. I really hope that it will work. The person I am trading locally only has the 5970, I wish he had the 5870 so I wouldn't have to worry about getting another PSU.
i am sorry i see a lottttttt of wrong and non - experianced answers,
which is really wierd.
to the OP. an 80% plus PSU will develop 80% of its efficency which means.
0.8x620watt=496 watts MAX.
and that's decreasing with time my dear like every mechanical or electrical device.
so short answer is NO. it will not handle that monster power sucking Q660 with 8GB of rams and a 5970 for long.
long answer , lets wait for some more funny answers first
that one is pure GOLD.
Wikipedia said:The efficiency of a computer power supply is the amount of energy it supplies, divided by how much energy is input. The remaining energy is converted into heat. For instance, a power supply operating at 60% efficiency, supplying 300 watts to a computer would draw 500 watts, and give off 200 watts of heat. An 80% efficient supply would draw 375 watts to produce the same 300 watts, giving off 75 watts of heat.

I love it
You love it when people try to pass off FUD as fact?

With a 5970, it uses 529W out the wall.
529 x 0.8 (~80% efficiency of the PSU used) = 423.2W
The HX620, after accounting the 80% efficiency, produces up to:
620 x 0.8 = 496W
So if you take those exact numbers, you would still have just over 70W (after AC -> DC) to spare. So, you are only using the PSU to 85% of its max potential under full load (which rarely happens). So you will no have problems using the 5970 with the HX620.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh! Two wrongs DO make a right!
His idea is wrong, but at least his yes/no answer to the original question is right.
I really don't see why this is so difficult...

Ok so with your math the system has 124Watts total of power to use???
