The 4870's have been coming down to the 120 price mark which is quite nice. My computer is in my sig.
I was wondering if my 430 psu would be enough to power the 4870.
1. The 4870 requires 2 6 pin power plugs. My psu has 1, but I think i remember being able to combine plugs to make a second 6 pin? (Does anybody have information on the seasonic s12 430?)
2. Are the fans typically loud? I couldn't stand the fan on my 7800gt, but they were known for being very loud. I don't mind a little noise, as long as I don't' have to dump another 30 bucks on this 4 year old computer.
3. With my cpu at 2.5 ghz and a 4870, would crysis run smoothly on med-high settings at 1680x1050?
Thanks for the help.
