Possible?

[bmoney9]

is it possible to run a Radeon HD 4870 with my current rig? i dont know if there is enough power from my psu. How much do these cards take? my rig is in my comment. im just looking for a good upgrade from my nvidia 6600gt. I thought about doing 2 4850's but i think its more bang for the buck on the single 4870. let me know if im wrong. what would you guys suggest? thanks

500w is plenty.

hmm ok sounds good..now to decide if i should get the 1 gb or the 512 versions lol

got the same power supply and have no problem running a 4870 1GB

1GB version is better, the 512MB is a good card but the amount of RAM is holding the card back at a higher resolution or higher AA.
