GPU upgrade, wondering if new powersupply is needed
33 minutes ago, aurrorax said:So I got the card today, isntalled it, 3 seperate cables from the PSU, with cablemod modmesh pro extensions (so you have all the information) and did some benchmarks, like Anno 1800 and shadow of the tombraider.
Nothing weird so far!
the Anno 1800 benchmark pushes 100% gpu usage so.
Glad to hear! I maybe jumped the gun a bit, but yeah the newer focus models have this issue fixed allegedly.

Haha, well after I got the psu (prime 850w) I tested it with the tester that comes with it... loud bang, next thing in our house all lights went out...
After the initial shock I couldn't believe it and tried another outlet, same thing, but this time there were like electrical arches coming out of the back of the psu, so yeah it was scary to "turn it off" and unplug it, it was arching and buzzing for a few minutes lol...
I'm just glad they put the tester in the box, they will know why!
Lol, I think it maybe doesn't sound like a big deal, but it was scary and I thought im gonna die touching the thing...
PS: the metal pins where you plug the power cable in were also melted, in just a few minutes (they were ok initially when I plugged it in) So yeah
