I am looking to replace my 8800gt 512mb card with a much, much better one. However, I am only running a Corsair 520HX PSU and am worried about not having enough power. What is the best card I can get with my setup as seen in sig (4 HDD's, Q9550, etc)?


Thank you in advance!
 
I ran a 5870 just fine on the rig in my sig with a Corsair 520HX. Anything higher than a 5870 will require a PSU upgrade however.
 
The 5800 cards are really nice. They give a huge boost in performance compared to a 4870/4890, but still use about the same amount of power. Gotta love efficiency.
 
i wouldnt recommend this but i think that PSU can run 2 5850's in Xfire and itl still prolly chug along
 
Glad to hear more positive information regarding the 5800 series cards. Im expecting a huge leap in performance coming from my 8800GT 512mb card. Hope my expectations aren't too high...
 
Good to hear. I have a 520hx myself, and I am considering buying either 5850(more likely) or 5870.
