Title: Which power supply for 2x RADEON HD5770? Post by: codymanix on June 07, 2011, 09:49:10 PM Currently Iam running GuiMiner on my RADEON HD 5770 graphics card.
I have a main power supply of 500 watts and a MSI 770-C45 mainboard. Now Iam thinking about to upgrade my computational powers.. Will my hardware be sufficient to run a second graphics card of the same type at the same time? Title: Re: Which power supply for 2x RADEON HD5770?

A good PSU is the best component to spend extra on. A bad PSU can die, and can take some or all of the other hardware connected with it.

Is this a good one? Title: Re: Which power supply for 2x RADEON HD5770?
