Is my PSU enough to handle this card, I'm having issues
I have a dell precision, but i didn't see the board location for it.
I bought a V7900 firepro, 150w requirement. I'm using a dell t3500, psu is Model D525AF-00, its 525 watts.
I have 3 internal hard drives, and 2 external ones, and a PCI sound card. the v7900 is performance badly, videos run fine, but games run kinda crappy. Im using a W5000 firepro and performance for games is superior. but the specs on the v7900 is way faster, so i don't understand the issue. is the PSU i mention i have have enough power to run that v7900?

1. Find exact model ... maybe in BIOS , Service-Tag match, or Invoice.
2. Still an old/small card.
3. Sounds like the (base/small) PS that came in Aurora-R1/R2 . It should run any single card. A clue is that it has at least one PCIe Power 6-pin+2-pin=8
4. It's hard to benchmark these "workstation-class" cards with games. They aren't really built for that. A consumer/gaming-class card (like GTX-1050/1060) would be better for that.
5. If it has the proper PCIe-Power-Plugs it should be.

Board location = Workstations > Precision Fixed Workstations. People usually aren't looking for "Workstation" for their Precision, so it sometimes gets missed.

Fire pro and Quadro cards are for CAD not for Games. AMD 100-505647 FirePro V7900 2 GB
Use a Geforce 1050TI card instead.
