[Dragon699]

Hello. Is enough 400W Rexpower ATX12V power suply to run XFX Radeon HD 5670 videocard? http://www.amd.com/us/products/desk...erview/Pages/ati-radeon-hd-5670-overview.aspx
Thanks for answers.

Yes a 400W power supply is enough to run a single Radeon HD 5670.
If you are running 2 Radeon HD 5670's in CrossFireX, you will need a 500W power supply.

Ok, thanks

I have another question. Can I run it on this motherboard - http://www.gigabyte.bg/products/page/mb/ga-945gcm-s2c/
I ask, because the videocard is GDDR5 and I'm not sure that my motherboard supports it.

You will be fine, dedicated graphical memory is only dependent on the card itself not the motherboard.

All you need is a motherboard that supports a PCIe x16 card slot, power to run the card, and of course proper drivers.

May I ask why you are looking into a old, low end card? Is your budget small?

No, but I won't play serious games, that's why.

I think you are better off buying a more modern card like a 7750.
