QUOTE(Riddhy @ Oct 20 2010, 09:51 PM) 6970 tdp might exceed gtx 480 tdp may be even 300w max I doubt it. QUOTE It is not a limit, it is the specifications for PCI-E. To stay complaint with the PCI-E specs, a single card can not exceed 300W. That is why the 5970 is underclocked and under volted, so that it does not exceed 300W. However, ATI gives you all the tools you need to increase the voltage and clock it to the 5870 speed. Source: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/279203-33-what-watt-limit QUOTE It's 75W through the slot, 75W per 6-pin PCIe and 150W through the 8-pin PCIe. Period. Source: http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=181536 Things might change with the PCI Express 3.0 specifications, but that is due out the end of this year and so won't be implemented until some time after. |

QUOTE(Clem1982 @ Oct 21 2010, 05:23 PM) lol 2 ppl odi suggest upgrade.. now thinking of selling the vapor 5770 and the 700W PSU... get 6870 and a 600W modular Why bother to downgrade your PSU by such a small factor? I would rather just keep it, unless it's already more than three years old.Added on October 21, 2010, 8:44 pm QUOTE(DarkSilver @ Oct 21 2010, 08:02 PM) I would focus on Radeon HD7000 or maybe GeForce GTX580. Need to see their performance per value 1st. Also, the games I would play. XD The HD 7000 is a whole year away.  This post has been edited by everling: Oct 21 2010, 08:44 PM |
