sapphire x800xl

[jocky68]

ive just ordered a sapphire x800xl card, i have read a few reviews about it but was wondering what the card is like from someone who has it. also what psu power is required for this?

I have the AGP sapphire card. The AGP version requires a cable connection to your PSU, which surprised me. But, so far the card runs great, i havent overclocked it and probably never will... but i hear that they OC real good.

My system specs:
2.4 Ghz p4
768 MB PC2700 RAM
60 GB HD
Sapphire x800XL AGP 256MB
-250W Dell PSU-

Yes, I have a 250W PSU. I have had NO problems with it.

300w is the official minimum power requirement.

 

[aaryn101]

My 250W works fine though.

I also run my ATI x800xl on a 250w psu

250Watt? Scarry stuff...unless it's on a small formfactor PC.
But that's a different ballgame.

Wow, my old computer had a 350w and the Nvidia System Sentinel would come up on some occasions telling me that my 6600gt wasn't being supplied enough power. Hah, oh well. Atleast I don't use that computer anymore.
