No it can;t. Most likley it will start and run for a bit then the psu will die. Those parts are more then what that psu can handle. Sorry for the bad news.

It could be possible.

If all that but 9800 instead of the 6800GT works fine it maybe would work.

Or what do you guys think? ive seen sick things running with just a 200w

Can it? Prolly.

Will you get strange stability problems? Again, probably.


Will it hurt your overclock?
Definately.

I thought that the 6800U uses alot more power then the 9800xt isnt the power requirement in the 400w+ for that card? That 340w may be able to hold u off for a bit untell u can save enf cash for a new psu. But i don't think it would be wise to use it indefenitly thats just asking for trouble ive had my share of psu's die from to heavy loads.

9800xt uses like 92w peak.
6800U is like 128w peak.
