That's according to how quickly they get one from the manufacturer. If TigerDirect didn't give you an ETA, there is no way we can have a better idea. Sorry.

Aubrey,

I noticed your signature line system specs...do you mind telling me what wattage your PSU is? I see you are running a system with specs very similar to mine and I wanted to upgrade to possibly the 6870 you're current running. Thanks.

Thanks. I've a stock 460W and I'm torn between the 6850 and 6870. 6870 specs recommend a minimum 500W PSU but I know from experience this is nearly always overstated. Decisions, decisions...

I run BF3 on high and Skyrim with the 6870. i paid 250$ for the card just around this time last year. Nice card highly reccomend it to anyone. Although if u want to do more in terms of graphics like for example witcher 2 i couldent max out and a couple others besides that its a good card expecially for what its price tag is now.

What 460w power supply do you have? Amps matter more than watts.

Radeon HD 6850 - 25A and a 450W PSU minimum

Radeon HD 6870 - 28A and a 500W PSU minimum

Aubrey08 I sure hope you bought that Xion before you read that review for it...a 5.5...ouch.

It's the PSU in a Dell XPS 7100.

What I don't understand is recently I followed a link (embedded in an earlier thread) to a calculator that calculated overall system power requirements. After a very detailed data entry it would spit out how large a PSU you need. I put in a 6870 as my card and the power requirements barely exceed 440W. I had to go all the way up to I think a 6970 before I broke 500W. Either the PSU requirements are totally overstated, or that particular calculator was way off.

Ok, thanks! Great PSU you got there btw...should allow for many years of upgrades.

I still don't understand power requirements. And I'm not a total gamer, either, so I think I'm just going to eventually pop in a 6850 at some point in the future. Right now my greatest gaming demand is Neverwinter Nights 2 (lol) and only then for short times. I'm seriously considering my own build on the next go around.

The 24-pin ATX power connection is a real pain to get off im scared of hurting the mobo in the process, is this normal?? Its really on there and i dont think it should require so much pressure to release.

I only played the first one, that was after beating BG2 :) I dont understand power requirements either. I just recently removed everything from 1 pc case to another and it really was not very hard, it was actually fun!

That is a decent power supply. I saw CoolerMaster and had to find a review because they do not really have a reputation for quality power supplies but that one is good.

http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/art [...] iew/810/10

Most people think they need way more power than they actually do. As manufacturing processes get smaller parts use less power. So a newer CPU or graphics card actually uses less power than one a few generations old. Also most of a modern computer's power is from the 12v rail of the power supply. That's why you see people referencing the 12v rail in so many power supply discussions.

A good quality power supply will actually be underated. A cheap power supply ( and some expensive ones ) will have a hard time delivering the rated power and will have alot of noise and ripple so the power it's supplying is not "clean". This can damage components. So you should really research before buying. Jonnyguru and Hardwaresecrets are about the two best review sites on the net. This is a good list too, not perfect but a good place to start.

http://www.eggxpert.com/forums/thread/323050.aspx

Dell usually uses decent power supplies that can pull the rated wattage.

AMD and Nvidia both expect you to have a low end power supply when they recommend how much power you need for a certain card. All you really need to pay attention to is amps.
