Cooler Master V650 good enough for GTX 590?

[EllieThePurpleFuzzy]

just wondering :?

 

This is part of a rebuild of an old build i plan to do someday, so no "get 970" instead or such . or should i go for the 750w version?

The more the merrier

The card itself uses like 350W...

To be safe go for the 750w. You have to remember that the 590 is an old generation card (which means it probably uses more power than recent cards) and it is also a dual chip card.

Cooler Master v750 or Evga Supernova g2

 

or any seasonic/superflower in that wattage you can find.

your looking at about 550w total power draw depending on cpu and how many hard drives.

so 650w+ is what you want.

Thats under load, should have specified I guess

[EllieThePurpleFuzzy]

pff o_o i'll grab a 750w this time around

 

thanks guys!

Why the fuck would you talk about anything other than load?

That's a whole system, not the GPU itself

Congratulations for realizing that, it still gives an estimate on how much the system might draw.  :rolleyes:

Looks legit, a dual 580 use less power than a 580.

It's common knowledge a dual-GPU card uses less power than two single cards with the same core?

[Swndlr]

Idk, maybe because a PC isnt under load 24/7.

Yes indeed.

The card was throttled in Furmark.

Idk but maybe you don't plan to buy a power supply for idle wattages.

Will you hop off LOL all I said was the card itself will consume 350W.
