[Predator50]

Good day,

Looking for new psu in case RMA will not be covered since i lost the receipt.

M12 II Evo 620 any good

M12 II Evo 520

Strider Plus 500W Power Supply, 80Plus Bronze
SSR‐550RM G‐550 Gold

 

old psu: thermaltake toughpower xt 775w bronze.

I don't have a ton of money right now since i recently bough a gtx 970.

 

Any suggestion? that psu cost like $ 90 here.

TIA

It's a great PSU unit I own one and haven't had a single hick, only complaint is that it uses 8pin to two 6+2pin which doesn't look clean

R.I.P your money for buying a 970. Have fun on DX11 forever

Here's a link - use this list to find a good brand of PSU. Then, find the correct wattage for you and the right features

If the M12 EVO cost 90 then can you find an XFX PSU or EVGA GS/G2/B2 for less? Maybe an Antec High Current Gamer?

It's one benchmark it hasn't really told anything yet considering that the game was also AMD optimized

It doesn't matter what the benchmark said, due to the architecture of the 900 series GPUs it will not run DX12 to its full potential. Shoulda bought a 390.

ONE BENCHMARK it's not confirmed and we still don't know if Async is even a big factor because of ONE benchmark

Okay, you didn't understand what I said. MAXWELL. IS NOT. 100% COMPATIBLE. WITH DX12. It does not matter how many new drivers NVidia releases for Maxwell, it will never be fully compatible. The HD 7000 series, R* 200 series and R* 300 series are all compatible. It doesn't matter what you do, in DX12 games an R90 will always do better than a 970 because of how the API was made.

Like I already said only more benchmarks will tell don't right something off before it's 100% confirmed

well i don't care, it will be the same story as DX 9 to 10 and DX 9 to 11. it takes year for a developer to stop supporting DX 11.

It's not a confirmed vs not confirmed thing, it's just truth. Maxwell will still run new games fine, just not as well as their AMD counterparts.

You know this 100% because you have insides with developers? Didn't think so..

Google it. NVidia has even admitted that it won't be 100% compatible.

But you still don't know what that means performance wise

performance-wise it means that it will not perform as well.

[Predator50]

updated my lists.

please define 'as well' because you or the next person doesn't know what that means because it's ONE BENCHMARK stop jumping to conclusions before it's even out

Go check the new post for Battlefront, using NVidia's new drivers just for the game and AMD's 15.9.1 BETA drivers: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/463138-star-wars-battlefront-benchmarked-on-nvidia-and-amd-runs-best-on-radeon-%E2%80%93-exceptionally-well-optimized-across-the-board/

Even using older cards, the R9 series cards beat their NVidia counterparts on every level (exception: of course, the 980ti beats the Fury X until you get into 1440p and higher.)

Is OCP important? the m12 evo don't have OCP while the G 550 has.

what is important the watts under the  12v or the total output? http://www.seasonicusa.com/images/M12-EVO-Edition/M12-EVO-Edition-04-520.jpg

and last  is 520 or 550 watts enough for a OCed 4670k @ 4.0 ghz on 1.2v, gtx 970 strix?

 

TIA.

Not sure, a bit tired right now so I'm having a hard time reading your post... sorry...

Watts on 12V rail is more important as that's the max output it can actually put out.

Both are plenty of wattage for that system.
