Wattage is simply amperes at a given voltage. PC power supplies produce several voltages.
Ive never understood how they come up with an overall (wattage) number for the total capacity of the power supply.
But yes make sure your power supply is up to the taksk. I personally fried one after installing a new video card. |
Actually no...For Video Card you should check the amps on the 12v rail. For certain video cards you need a certain amount of amps on it in order for it to function properly. If not, the card will die from not having enough power.
And I for one care about having a high fps in current games. Cause if I get 60 fps in current games I know I'll get a good amount of fps in upcoming games.
Think ahead is what I say.
