Will a 8800GT work with a 300W Stock PSU

I have an Acer Aspire T180

Single Core CPU 2.2ghz

2GB RAM

and I need to upgrade that onboard gawd awful POS Geforce 6100 NForce 405... Yeesh... :cry:

I hear the 8800GT has very low power comsumptions. like 105 W comsumption.

Will it work as a mid-high rig?

I wouldn't risk it, nor would I bother using an 8800 card with a single-core processor. Something like the 7600GT would be a much safer bet for your system.RayvinAzn

I second that. =]

What he said

Generic PSU's can blow up and take other hardware out with it.

i think you have the sempron model the psu on the acer t180 is 250watts 300w is max rating and the answer is no you need a new psu u can get one for about £20 from ebuyer 550w / i would also recommend a new case because the 8800gt gets hot and ur case is micro atx

Get a Thermaltake PurePower W0099RU 250-Watt Dual VGA Card-Dedicated Power Supply Unit for $50 and put two in sli (it will work!).

Don't waste your money on a costly PSU.

This is what iam getting!

Hi i been searching in google ^^ i know this post is 1 month old, around

but i have a 300W also and i ordered evga 8800GT .

If you wait , i can let you know how it run.... if it runs well it wont last long enough! but imma buy a better PSU when i get the $.

I seen many with 350-W400 running 8800GT even OCed and they do fine.. i guess it depend on what u have on ur desktop.

some people has alotta HD , powerful RAMs , Processor OCed to high... which they need good PSU

but people like us with crappy stuff will be fine i guess lol

I can run 7900GS just fine which require +12v , 20 amps

while the 8800GT require +12v , 22 amps.. they close

but 8800GT is higher when load.. i will just away from big games like crysis etc :C
