Hi,
I have a PC with Intel i5-3470, 8gb RAM, 500GB 7200rpm HDisk, and Nvidia Geforce 210 GCard. I want to upgrade to a Radeon HD 7700 OC edition which I can get for RM200 from a friend. Is the upgrade worth it? BTW, I only play Dota 2 and CSGO. Another thing, my current Power Supply is Max Power 500W, Pure Power 250W. If I go through this upgrade, do I need to change my Power Supply to a higher one? Thanks |

QUOTE(TristanX @ Aug 7 2016, 06:02 PM) 450W or better recommended for HD7770. Your PSU is 250W. Continuous wattage is the one you will be looking at, not max or peak wattage. So do you think going from geforce 210 to radeon HD 7770 is a worthwhile upgrade for rm200? |

QUOTE(TristanX @ Aug 7 2016, 06:12 PM) Yup, its a big jump. Even your built-in GPU is better than G210. What is your monitor resolution? I use a 24in monitor on 1920x1080 res |

QUOTE(TristanX @ Aug 7 2016, 11:43 PM) HD7770 should be fine for CS:GO and DOTA 2. Hello bro, I changed my mind, will go for Palit GTX 750 Storm now.So if I buy the GTX 750 card, will this PSU be able to handle it? http://www.lazada.com.my/avf-ps550-power-s...0w-3186387.html (AVF PS550-F12R) Thanks |

QUOTE(TristanX @ Aug 8 2016, 12:30 PM) Nope. That is another BS PSU. The most it can handle is around 250W continuous. Nvidia recommends 300W or better for GTX 750. Then how about this one?http://www.lazada.com.my/avf-power-supply-...0w-1477917.html (AVF extreme power 650W) |

QUOTE(terence_nwb @ Aug 8 2016, 02:14 PM) Avoid AVF PSU if possible, go for FSP Hexa+ 400/450W, around RM 150. So in my case, getting a reliable 400W PSU from reputable PSU suppliers is good enough?Getting a cheap and unreliable PSU = put your PC at risk. |
