Thread: NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250

Ok, I would like to buy this card. It's compatible with my software; it can physically fit inside my tower. My PC's memory can run it, but I'm not sure if I can power it. I know You need 26 amps on the 12v rails, whatever that means, so how can I tell if I can power the card? Thanks. My PC is an HP Pavilion a6330f PC. I bought it out of store, so it's standard. So if anyone knows the complete requirements for this card, or how I can tell if I can use it with my PC, please tell me. (I know nothing about computers) Thanks again.

I have this card from evga, 512mb, it pretty much plays most game at highest with 1680-1050 res.
i have corsair 450vx i know from reviews on this psu, that the fan speeds up when output goes over 400W, but without my cpu e4400 overclocked, the psu fan doesn’t speeds up(obviously during game)
that means 400w should be fine if you don’t use anything special.

just in case
my specs are
p35 ds3l mobo
e4400
gts250
1,512,1,512 ram total 3gb
3 HDDs
2 ODDs
