6950

[PringlesInside]

will my PC handle any ati/amd 6950 card?

can someone calculate it for me.

specs in sig

i also have 2 very old cd rom and dvd drives in my pc but they shudnt take much power up

:smartass:

Should do just built up your spec with whats in your sig and it comes to 499W with 20% allowance.

 

[Fear]

did you post about overclocking your CPU in another thread just asking because will that not increase your required power

 

[Sie]

even if he has/will then i think there is enough left over juice to take it into account

 

[PringlesInside]

Im holding off overclocking atm.

btw dont i have to take into account the chassis fans? i believ there 12volts each , i got 4

they dont have the 640GB WD CAVIAR GREEN anymore

just put a black in and "pretend" ofc im not sure on the power of hdd's wether its generally the same or if there is a massive difference if there is a difference at all you could just nock the answer down a tad.

The green uses less electricity (Hence the name) but only about 4-5 watts less than your average drive so shouldnt really make a difference if you spec black

hi!

Slenious has made me aware of the Nvdia 560ti (EVGA !!) http://www.scan.co.uk/products/1gb-...ce=google+shopping&utm_medium=google+shopping

Which one shall i get? 6950 1Gb (or 2GB!) OR EVGA NVdia 560ti ?!?!
Lets say, which one would you get if you had the chance

 

[Sie]

Cheers for that info Nem, not much difference at all then as i thought

@Pringles if your deciding between 2 cards, try searching google for some benchmark testing/reviews for each card or if your lucky a "vs" of both cards, ie AMD 6950 vs EVGA 560ti

yep

i ask you: which 1 would you get?

 

[Sie]

Erm, personally i would probably go with the 560ti, im a Nvidia fanboy tho

also have a read on this

EVGA's card is on there too in some of the graphs.

 

[PringlesInside]

i bought the Evga 560ti

Folding

Folding

unfortunately my motherboard (check sig) has only 1 pci x16 ..

/cry

 

[Nemesis]

Yeh folding will work on a 1x lane if you want or a 4x.
Its doesnt really matter

Looking at the slots available on your mobo :

1 x PCIe 2.0 x16
1 x PCIe 2.0 x4
1 x PCIe x1
3 x PCI

You could use the 4x (If you dont need it for anything else)
