ID Card Group Offers High-Speed Zebra ZXP Series 8 Retransfer Printer what do washington id cards look like?
Dec 21

Hello,
I want this video card:
http://microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0311192
keep in mind its a pci-e card.

So would this power supply work on it:?

Notice in the specs it says the power supply doesn’t have a pci-e connector?

Does that mean i cant use the video card, or is there a way I dont know? Please help.

Thank you very much

Okay, right off the bat I see a problem with that power supply. Aside from not having a pci-e connection it states it doesn’t work with SLI or Crossfire (i.e. Nvidia or ATI). Since you’re wanting to get a GeForce card, which works with a mobo with an Nvidia chipset, you’d need a more up-to-date power supply.

Second – that card uses 18 amps on the 12-volt rail, and according to the specs on that power supply it runs up to 16 or 17 amps, so the power supply you’re looking at isn’t powerful enough to support the card.

My advice – first make sure your mobo has an Nvidia Chipset. Second, spend a bit more and get a better power supply, and check the voltage – you need at least 18 amps on the 12-volt for that card.
