Snow Crash - pullin away from me...
(found a XFX 295 on e-bay. New for $300 even. SO tempted...)
And cjc postin some consistantly high numbers!
So what are you waiting for ??? ... pick up that 295 now and see if you can pass me before 300 comes out, cause when that happens I am in for at least one. If they can PPD 50% higher than my 295 (cautiously optimistic), it will be time to replace that also. I don't see me going more than two high end cards so I should be a pretty easy target to catch.
See the problem is, I have to choice to grab that and try to catch you (and help the cause ), or afford food for the next 4 weeks...
Plus, there is no way I can run more than 2 cards... So I'm thinking it's completely necessary to get a 300 when they come out and use the 260 for Physx...
(I don't think I even have a game that uses Physx... )
Just in case i change my mind in the next 6 days... will a 650W PSU run a i7 and 295? What would I need to keep a 260 with that?
being serious for a moment ... you need to take care of yourself first, then help the cause ... please make sure you have enough to eat.
You would be pushing the limits a bit if you stay with 650W.Plus, there is no way I can run more than 2 cards... So I'm thinking it's completely necessary to get a 300 when they come out and use the 260 for Physx...
(I don't think I even have a game that uses Physx... )
Just in case i change my mind in the next 6 days... will a 650W PSU run a i7 and 295? What would I need to keep a 260 with that?
Oh, I know I need to eat! No worries there! (The only money I have goes to food and books... Think I need my calc book? That's worth atleast a gts 250... )
(aka, don't worry about it, I'm xtreme (or I try) but I still have my wits (for now))
So it would be pushing it to have 295 + 260 or just the 295?
YUP YOU WOULD BE LUCKY IF YOU COULD BOOT UP.a 650 watt and a oced mother board has trouble running 2 gtx260s so i would think it would be the same for 1 gtx 295 ive never tried to run a 295 on a 650 watt but i have on a 750 watt silver stone psu and it would do a random shut down so i got a 850 watt psu and that fixed the problem.
I'm doing an i7 920 OC'd and 295 on Corasir TX 750 no problems ... ymmv
i replaced the silver stone with the corsair tx 850 so far im loving it.
the 750 did its job i needed to do for F@h for 2 years 24/7 so i think it was tired.
Dang... looks like the min power supply recommended is 680...
Looks like i'm definately waitin to see how the 300 comes... the temptation to jump on that card is gone since it would cost $150 for PSU and $300 for the card... Maybe scrap together $300, but that would be pushin it. $450+ is just not going to happen atm.
you could undervolt (either / or/ both cpu/ gpu) ... might hold you over until you can get a new psu

Good job guys!
Yeah, but it's a new PSU... Only 3 months old (I'll never buy this sizeof a PSU again. Just no reason. Go a little smaller it gets a lot cheaper, a lot bigger is only a little more costly...)
For now I'm gonna hold off and see... 300 performance and prices. With my luck i'd find a way to do this, the 300 would magically make it out in december in time for christmas and outperform it like no other.
