I have this power supply:

I might buy this graphics card:

I was wondering if my power supply can run the card..
Im a bit confused with the 12V
You can run that card no problem. I would however recommend that you buy an ATI 4850 for roughly the same price. It’s a better card for the money.
Your powersupply has 2 12v rails each supplying 18amps, so you have 36 amps on the 12v rails, more than enough to power that card (which requires 26).
Hope this helps.

9800GT? That’s an old tech anyway it might be safer for you to get a HD 4670/4830 because those does not require external power which is great without the PSU rating. Well your PSU have no brand and it was not in the review either and this is very difficult to predict whether it’ll work well with the 9800GT or not and it also depends on the amount of hardware you have in the PC and overclocking needs extra power too tbh.
4670/4830 beats 9800GT so they’re no worries.

That’s a very fine power supply and you’ll have no problems with even high-end graphics cards.
