Hi all

I just both a new ATI SApphire HD 3850 512MB and it wont work on my Vaio VGC-RA104. I also both a more powerfull PSU as the GPU needs at least 450W output to work. But nothing comes up one the screen.

Is there something that I have missed ? Can anyone tell me if my system is good enaugh for this GPU?

I hope anyone can help me with this?

Please

Regards

Never heard of it and no-brand PSUs are crap, that's probably your issue. Do Vaios have a standard size case? Take that thing back and let me know where you can order from and I'll recommend something decent.

e: and no? Optical drives don't have anything to do with your graphics card.

Never buy PSUs off eBay!

As for cases, look into the Coolermaster 5, 590, and 690 & the Antec P182.
