Can my new PC handle an X1950PRO? http://www.circuitcity.com/ccd/howToGetIt.do?userClick=&zip=04072&oid=185191, I cant figure out what the PSU in it is, I didnt buy it yet. And I dont know what the GPU needs. No info is given anywhere I can find!

I assume a brand new PChas enough power though?

most pre-builts actually don't have a very good powersupply so your just going to have to wait till you get it to find out and if it doesn't have enough which is probaly won't its no biggy you can get a new one for like $30-$40

I would guess that the PSU would be powerful enough to power that card, but like you said, it doesn't mention the PSU anywhere. I don't think the X1950PRO is too power-hungry of a card, so I think you'd be OK unless they gave you a really shoddy PSU...

Don't know if that helps.:P

*EDIT*: Also, you could try giving HP a call and asking about the model and the PSU...

That was just unlucky. Ultra is a medium company on the PSU list. The x1950pro isnt power hungary, its about medium itself on the list. Taking slightly less power then a x1900gt.
