HD 6950 or Gtx 560Ti?

Yea, he just will not believe me until the day he actually gets a decent power supply. A simple Corsair 650 watt PSU will solve about 99-100% of his problems.

but not this f*cking crossfire and yeah u are right arborist
both hd 5770 needs 225 maxed out and 1 hd 6950 needs 200W maxed out and. on bad company 2 it need only 170W

hd 6950 maxed out 200W
Q6600 maxed out 75W
other stuff max 100W

we are at 375W

i have a sapphire and its great it's the vapor-x oc 5870, over clocked card may have somewhat better quality components. to be honest i would go with a sapphire vapor-x card because of low temperatures, and they are quite, also they use better mosfets, check their website out. warranty is not an issue at all, ive replaced a card i bought broken and they replaced it with no hassle.

the xfx, sapphire,.... arent allowed to be overlcoked (MAD said) so there is no vapor-x

one guy told me take XFX the other take PowerColor and the third take Sapphire

XFX has the best warranty. Also, I can attest for good customer service, as they replaced my 9600gt with a 9800gt for free.

if a company does't have the specific card model in stock for replacing your broken one, they will usually replace it with the next highest model up. same with most other products, if i send my droid in for replacement i will get a droid 2.

so i take XFX thank u guys

@200 watts and 10 minutes your 400watt PSU is shouting "I've hit the wall please don't hurt me".
@375 watts and 10 minutes your 400watt PSU is screaming bloody murder and in pain.

@375 watts and 10 minutes a Corsair 650 watt PSU is barely breaking a sweat.

blackhawk · March 15, 2011 at 12:02 PM

i did before 6weeks and it helped until now
how's this PSU?
Is this a good PSU?

Scout_Felix · March 15, 2011 at 12:08 PM

Why would you buy a PSU from XFX ??? They are probably just private labeling another mfg's anyways and charging you extra for it.
Stick with a top brand, 80 plus certified, and as stated elsewhere in this thread try to hit your expected load right in the sweetspot of 40-60% capacity.

Check Anandtech, Tom's etc. for PSU tests.
