VisionTek HD2600 Pro 512MB DX10 questions

Ohh one of those system... Most likely it wont power it...
But give us your system specs.
 
i just confirmed with one of my good friends who knows a lot bout comps told me that i can run the 2600 pro without a problem because that card doesn't use a lot of wattage and performs better than a x1650 pro ...

i just ran cpu-z and then pasted the needed results.

yea, the 2600pro should run fine in your system with that 240 watt psu, because it doesn't need external power, it draws it all from the mobo.
 
NICE !!!! i checked benchmarks on it for like 3 hours searching the net.. results are good...
 
I don't think a 240WPSU will support that card. You will probably burn up the PSU. Or the video card.

no, the worst that would happen is the computer won't turn on, but since the card doesn't require external power, it will run fine.
 
System Requirements:

Intel Pentium 4, Celeron, AMD Duron/Athlon/Athlon XP, Sempron or compatible with AGP 8x slot
Installation software requires
CD-ROM drive
256MB of system memory (1GB+ recommended for Windows Vista)
DVD playback requires DVD drive on PCs with an Intel Pentium III processor (or equivalent) and 256MB of system memory
300W or greater power supply recommended
Available 6 pin power connector from power supply or included cable adapter
 
the 2600 pro runs off the mobo , i have looked at soo many benchmarks where the last section shows the power consumption and the 2600 was consuming 31 watts at idle and <50 watts with load.. right now i have a 5200 which takes up 34 watts at idle and i have been using that card for a long time , also the 240 watt PSU might be running at a higher amperage.

more sources are saying the card will run and only one is saying that it won't lol. i guess time will tell but i highly doubt it won't run
 
so wait random.. are u saying the 2600 pro won't run on my PSU ???? if not , ill put in my 400 watt PSU ...

btw guys i really think it will... my friend is good with comps and he said it would and so do the benchmarks on power consumption.

really says 300 but u don't need 300... it's like this in a lot of cases where they list more than workable.
 
I don't think your 240 will cut it, try looking at this website

XT's are big jumps over the Pro in the 1650 series too GDDR3
 
Do you have a AGP slot on your MB? If you do, and you plug this card into it and not plug the power cord into the video card, it will stop at the boot screen saying you have to plug in your power cord.
 
nah i am on the 240 watt right now... my 400 watt PSU fits in my case but it's long and smaller in width than the old one so it can't be screwed it :( , ima end up ghetto riggin my comp by putting it on it's side and restraining the PSU somehow.. the 400 watt PSU will definitely work no doubt bout that.

my pc is the HP Compaq d530 cmt

yes i have a agp slot on my motherboard, does the 2600 pro have a thing on it where i have to take one of the wires from the PSU and plug it on the card?
 
I know it would not boot up on my PC without plugging it in, maybe your's is different.
 
where do i plug the PLUG in? is it the black thing in the back of the card in one of the other pictures? black thing with 3 metal bars soldered into the circuit board.

edit : now i c :( , well lets see how it goes
 
can anyone refer me to some nice PSU's on black friday that can get for my pc? actually i can just install the 400 watt one huh?

At worst you might need a 4 pin (molex) to 6 Pin adapter. :toast:
