Ignore any 400-450W requirement though; all sub-$100 cards have TDPs of under 75W and if an HD 4650 wasn't stressing it then something like an HD 6670 wouldn't either. | ||

I'm assuming you have one of these prebuilts with a terrible power supply. Basically any graphics card without a 6pin PCIe connector will be able to run on any power supply so the best card you would be able to get is a Radeon HD6670 / 5670. | ||

I have a prebuilt with a shitty PSU. So your are saying my computer (specs: http://support.gateway.com/s/desktop/2009/gateway/dx/dx4822/DX4822sp2.shtml) will be able to run the 5670? | ||

My personal opinion is that people should stop cutting money for a computer, it is something that will stick with you for years. If not, then I guess pushing up to an ATI 4670 will be decent. The thing is, I gotta get a decent laptop for school/travel and i dont wanna spend to much money on an overall shitty computer, so i think im just gonna do a small upgrade and put the more money towards a good laptop. Thanks for the help tho! | ||

Thanks a lot! I'll check it out for sure! | ||
