Q: Upgrading my Graphics for MTW 2, etc

GeForce 7600GT without any doubts.

What PSU you have? Manufacturer and model.

Sorry I don't know the Manu/Model, only that its 250w - I had to phone the PC supplier (Higrade) to find that out, cos its still under warranty and I'm putting off invalidating it :/

I know Nvidia says at least a 350w is required for their 7600 and higher, its on their website :(

When you find it, then post it here. Many barebone systems have 250W PSU and they can handle some serious power hunger components, but it depend on manufacturer and model.

Cheers.

I've e-mailed Higrade to ask the specifics (phone tech support guys a bit useless, meh), I'll update this reply with the info when/if it comes :/

Your helps appreciated

I tried to run and x1300 series vid card with my 250W psu from Gateway, and the computer wouldn't even boot up. I upgraded to a 430 Watt psu from antec, and it took right off (although the vid card sucks and will be returned).

Check out the "will my pc run MTW2" thread where some stern warnings against trying to stretch the limits of your psu are posted.

My new 7600GT runs great on my standard Dell 250 W PSU device.

Further more, I'd recommend this card. Runs al current game maxed out.
