8800GT & 375W PS

[maenos]

Quick question, I have a newer Dell XPS 410 w/ a 375W PS. What are the odds the 8800GT will work on this system?

Thanks in advance.

I wouldn't try it.

it ought to work. dell uses pretty reliable power supplies in their systems.

It'll probably work fine.

Its hard to say. You just have to try it out.

I'm using a generic 400w PS that came with my case. I have been using it for 4 days and running games maxed out for at least 4 hours a day. No problems so far. Even if you were considering getting a new PS, I'd use the current one until any issues occur.

I run a 8800 gts @320mb on my xps 410, you should be fine.

Until it decides to blow and possibly take some hardware with it.....

Bingo. PSU's generally don't fade/decay over time; they just up and blow and can potentially take the rest of your system with them. I wouldn't try it .

Should run fine without a problem.

Dell for whatever reason under rates thier PSU's by a bit. A 375 watt dell PSU is enough to run any single card out there.
