GPU- Sapphire HD6950 2Gig (Dirt 3 Edition)

Thank you

would help if you gave us the wattage of your PSU

[ShadowCaptain]

those cards are about 140 watts each - so 2 is 280

 

yeah should easily be enough

[ShadowCaptain]

would help if you gave us the wattage of your PSU

 

googed it its 600

[Karumu]

googed it its 600

well in that case, it should be more than enough, for one card anyways

[Baas Barns]

Sorry it is 600W :mellow:

[Paralectic]

600Watt is certainly enough.

[Baas Barns]

Ok, thank you for you help.

[Baas Barns]

Will try it tonight, hopefully i will get a decent bump up my fps

It might work in crossfire setup but it is recommended to have at least a quality 750W PSU

[W-L]

4670k Max TDP= 84W 
 
HD6950 Max TDP= 200W x2= 400W

 

extra 10%

 

Total= 532Watt

 

 

Something that is around 600W to should be a good setup.

[Akolyte]

I think that psu is 80+ silver if I know correctly, and I would expect it to handle about 10-20watts more than 600watts at its limit.  But it should be fine, it just means the fans might ramp up a bit. 

[Mateyyy]

It should be fine, but, are you overclocking the graphics cards or the CPU?
