What is the model of the PSU? It depends a lot on how much amperage it can really deliver through 12V

Is it the PSU that came within the Case, perchance? If so, opening your computer and taking a look at the PSU label should do. If you know the manufacturer or exact model, you can look it up in the official page

That's very low, and not capable of properly running this. Is it showing 12V1 and 12V2 or just one 12V value?

Oh, then it's not just 14A. If 12V2 is also around 14A, this should work but it's cutting it too short. You might want to consider upgrading your PSU too, since you're getting a High end card

Yeah, should survive a week, provided you don't stress much your system, it could crash/freeze because of low power.
Make sure you buy a branded 750W with decent efficiency ;)

Probably, but you should seriously stick to known manufacturers. The Amperage is a more direct way of finding out how much power a PSU can truly deliver. That 35$ 750W is of low efficiency, hence the relatively low price. Even a 520W unit such as this one is of better quality, even though the Capacity is lower, at first glance

Joel - I really doubt it's 80+, a 750W certified PSU should deliver around 50A at the very least

So would this be pretty much an overclocked version of the Double D 7950? If so, could I easily overclock the Double D without any extra ventilation to get to this level? Because the cards are pretty much the same, and if this one doesn't melt at that speed, then the normal Double D shouldn't either.
Any ideas?

it most probably has better cooling fans to keep up with the enhanced performance but if you want of course you can try. i would recommend checking hardware forums like tomshardware for people who already did it or make a post there yourself. you are most probably not the first guy to have that idea and these guys will be able to give you better, more detailed and more reliable advice than gd members. good luck! however do NOT try to set these clock speeds right away. increase a bit, test under full load, then increase again if stable and not too hot (shouldnt go over 70-80°C under full load)

Thanks for the info, gonna check in tomshardware.
Yeah, I didn't mean the minute I buy it that i'll make the overclock. I'm thinking in the future, like in 2-3 years, when the gfx can't run most games on high.
