Title: 700W enough for a 6950 and a 5870
Post by: Ntrain2k on January 30, 2014, 05:17:53 PM
Currently running a 5870 on one of my rigs and have picked up a 6950 with the unlocked shaders. Assuming a decent overclock on each card do you think a good 700W PSU (OCZ 700 80+) will be enough?

Rest of system is a dual core pentium D, a dvd drive and a single HD.

Thanks!

I have 5870 and the whole computer uses less then 300W. So of you add 6950 then 700W will be more then enough.

toss out the Pentium D and put a celeron 420/440 in there and it might be okay, otherwise that's 100W more CPU than it needs.
