question about new graphic card

[Carolicious]

Also "Mains voltage in the UK is 230v so Watts = 13 x 230 = 2990 watts" HOLY SHIT YOU GOT SOME BEASTY PSU O_O! you can run a nuclear power plant with that much electricty :C.

whats that supposed to mean?
230V is the voltage,
Wattage is a product of voltage and the max current your device can take( P=U*I) ,
my question:
With that calculation you are saying that your voltage is 230V (U) (which would be right) and your electrical current would be 13A (I), where you got that from?
You basically calculated the max. wattage (P) of a circuit with a 13A fuse, which hasn't anything to do with a device which is running on it.

real on topic:
The wattage of a device is stated on a label on the device itself, get your information from there, theres no way of getting it another way :s

as i said million times, on the computer box there is a ticket on which is written "230V".

230V has nothing to do with WATTS

THERE IS NOTHING WRITTEN ABOUT WATTS

well you probably mean something like this:

we mean something more like that:

or at least some label with the PSU model number

where is that located lol

Ye just found the wattage: 400W
btw not buying HD4670 anymore, will do the EVGA 8800GTS 640mb

[KmanN]

then a 400w psu will work just fine.

then a 400w psu will work just fine.

mhm, i even have 350W atm, will change soon, but so far haven't had any problems
