Video card PSU requirements are routinely overstated - and with good reason, most people have over rated POS power supplies.

^^^ Truth. If you have an Antec, Enermax, etc, high-end PSU, even the 380/400w ones will run an X1950PRo all day long. If you have joe chang's mystery PSU that came with your case and a sticker that says '4xx' watt, then you probably want to think about a better PSU.

Hmm if it runs on a dell PSU then it should run fine on mine too right?Originally posted by: gpse
I ran my x1950Pro on a 350watt Dell PSU without any issues.
