Crossfire Power Requirement

[liamnic2]

Hey

Will a CORSAIR 750W ENTHUSIAST SERIES™ TX750 V2-80 PLUS® BRONZE be enough to run two 7950's in crossfire ?

 

[keynes]

Yes.

According to the configurator yes even a 650W would be fine.

I'd personally go for the 850w, just so you have plenty of juice left in reserve, in case you wanted to add more of this n that.

but also note though, that you may decide against going for dual cards? or could you go for a 7970? they aint much more than a 7950, but are much more powerful.

Im looking for budget cards that I can fit in a spec thats around £950 and crossfire it later, when it struggles. I cant fit in a 7970 - I even tried to fit a 670. But after looking at benchmarks of the 7950 it looks like a decent card.

shame you cant fit a GTX 670 because if its two cards your after then your better off with two GTX 670s - crossfire has tons & tons of issues compaired to SLI ( to many to mention )

Would the 750W be able to handle two 670's ? The only problem going with a 670 is that if I have to buy a more expensive SLI mobo aswell. It only adds an extra £70 which isn't really that much when you think about.

All you can do really is configure pc with sli/crossfire with 650w psu and if you plan to add extra pieces into your pc in the future add them now so it gives you a rough idea of howmuch wattage you need .

 

[Chriso]

Yeah, x2 670's are fine with a 750w PSU. I'm going to order a build with 1 670 and a 750w psu so I can add an additional 670 in the future but I can also add a few more drives. 750w should be more then enough.
