My friends pc has a falty graphics card and he needs a new one. I've got a spare x1950gt but i'm not sure if the power supply is good enough to handle it considering it needs extra power from a 6 pin connector. It has 19v on the 12v rail rated at 300w maximum.
Ps. The problem with the current card is that it artifacts with strange distortion and lines down the screen. I cleaned out the dust as i thought it could have been overheating but that didn't really fix it. I also tried reinstalling windows and the drivers but that didnn't help either. I think its just broken.
