    Hi first of all sorry for my english it isn't my native language.

    I bought a nvidia 9500GT and read in the specs that i need a power supply with 12v+ 18amp.
    My Power supply has 12v+ 16amp.
    I want to know if i need to buy another power supply...

    The card works fine but i'm worry if it can be a problem or something...

    Thanks for reading.

    AFAIK, the card will work but not up to its full performance..so you I suggest you get a better power supply :)

    you might notice graphics are a bit choppy and yes you will experience crashes or random restarts as the gpu is using to muich power more than your psu can handle.
