QUOTE(Clem1982 @ Nov 21 2013, 01:13 PM) as with any GPUs, they come with the cooling unit (fan & heatsink) attached so there is nothing extra to buy unless you're intending to modify it but i heard it has overheat issues right? somehow the temp gets too highfor the R9 290, a good 600W PSU should be sufficient |

QUOTE(AaronFPS @ Nov 24 2013, 12:29 AM) but if i sli lets say gtx 650, wouldnt the performance b greater? plus if i pay more to get better psu and mobo, altogether the price is still almost the same as one r9 290 + normal mobo and psu right?This post has been edited by bingding: Nov 24 2013, 12:45 AM |

QUOTE(hmwgbworld @ Nov 24 2013, 01:30 AM) i will suggest getting single strong gpu instead of sli/cfx 2 mid-end gpu to save hassle. owh okie, erm what psu is sufficient for r9 290You may gain decent performance but drivers, games compatibility may also be the issue. Furthermore, u need to spend slightly more on mobo and psu to ensure the multi gpu setup works. Precise calculation needed to make sure sli/cfx is worth it.

QUOTE(Chew Yongxian @ Jan 12 2014, 03:03 PM) Yes, it should be. Your max power draw for the GPU should be 400W max. But try getting 80+ Gold rated PSUs though, like the Corsair RM650 or Seasonic X650. The CS650 will need to draw 600W just to pump 480W due to it's 80% efficiency. i tot my cs650m got 80+ gold already, isnt it? |
