Default Re: Graphics card suggestions?

Power Supply ratings are a joke. It's a gross overestimation on their part. The problem is, no consumer sits down and calculates what each piece of the computer might need at any point (don't blame them).

The 9400 GT uses a maximum of 50W. NVIDIA lists 300W as the minimum system power supply, but by the time it reaches the card manufacturer (the thing I hate about NVIDIA products) it now requires 400W.

In reality, it depends on what you're running. If you use less than 200W for the rest of your computer, you'll do just fine.
