No,INNM HD6850 uses more wattage then HD5850 on load
therefore because its newer generation

so many fellow roccateer in here

I used this calculator and entered my specs. The top power draw is only 462W. So I think that it's gona be ok.

Here is my not so awesome desktop pc


Phenom II X4 BE 965
Galaxy GTX260
8GB Kingston DDR3
Corsair TX750W

so jelly looking at all pics on this thread

not ok, total power is 462w, but your psu wont be able to supply 462w at +/-12v rail, which mean your real power is not anywhere near 450w

you should get a power supply with the total real power output that is equal to 462w + 20% to be safe, which mean a 550w real power psu should be safer and less stress on the psu

hey decent rig bro but enough PSU?

so far only tested GTA4 and duke nukem, i think my psu is enough without OC

lol, nvm la but i think your quad will bottleneck the 6950. Upgrade only when ivy bridge out la

i have same psu as u lol. < cheap last time.

i play bc2 use more tha 4gb ram already, now using 6gb with 64bit. Considering add another 2gb stick 40 rm

=.=.....what application did you open?
for now
only Dragon Age : Origin manage to suck out 3.2GB out of 3.8GB useable RAM
BC2 only 1.4GB

i open 1 FF already makan 700mb of my 4gb ram d
+origin +steam, almost 40% of my ram used

That is DAO, my DA2 in the drawer.

mumble, google chrome, msi afterburner, orgin and bla bla.

nah my quad doing fine, its not being over-worked, so no bottleneck happening + i had no issues being one of the few first to spawn into the planes at the start during the beta

and u obviously never streamline ur windows and disable alot of useless services, so ur ram usage of cos so high.
my bc2 on win7 64bit never goes past 3gb of ram.
bf3 beta that time at most around 3.3gb ram used.
