zombie10k said:I can't say about the 200 shuttle ps, but I run a GT in my Fica ice-cube @ 420 core/ 1150 memory for almost a week now solid. I have a 2.8 @ 3.15, 1 gig ram, 250 gig HD, DVD burner, extra cooling fans, Crystal fontz LCD display, and of course the GT OC'd.
My box only has a 220W supply, and no issues. The 250w silent x update to your box isn't expensive, and would be good insurance if you got either card.
I wouldn't be good insurance for both cards. The X800 series uses less power than the 9800 cards so the 250W PSU is far from needed in the case of the X800.
The PSU is as good insurnace for the X800 as it's is for a dated card like a ti4200 or 8500.
And as for which card... well the benchmarks are clear to me - if you want super high resolutions then get the X800 series.
