Another serious question

[Akamii]

Now i was about to buy seasonic eco 600w for my r9 280x vapor-x tri-x but the seller stopped me saying no its 2x rails and ur card needs 1 rail and it will be bad for ur card.. and my budget for the psu is around 530LE here in Egypt so i decided to create a topic here and some of you said it works well and others said no he is right multi rail will be a problem for your card.. then i decided to choose another psu and i have to pay more 20LE and it costs 550LE which is 

Thermaltake Smart SE 630w PSU 

 

 

so guys this psu is good enough for my r9 280x vapor-x tri-x "focus on vapor-x tri-x"  and it has 2x 8-pin or 2x 6+2-pin ? , or should i just buy the multi rails seasonic eco 600w  ? please help me im serious and my uses for the card is only gaming, thanks !

Depends on the PSU. On weak PSUs the rail that supplies the GPU might not be strong enough to run it (happened with my old Bequiet 480W and a GTX580). In that case using a molex to 6/8pin alleviates the problem tho.

but some said it always shut down because there's 1 rail of these 2 rails always get overloaded and shut down the whole pc, and i meant overloaded by gaming ..

if its a super poor quality PSU, that might be the case, but a decent PSU should be splitting the load across the rails

so the Seasonic eco 600w 85% efficiency is  weak psu or not ?

as long you run the dual 8 pins or 6+8 pins

 

that PSU you got is plenty for the 280x

I've never faced any such problems, especially with seasonic, and I think u also won't.

I wouldn't bother and get the psu.

Seasonic.

Its fine... it has 24A on each rail which means the GPU connectors can handle more than 280W (more than enough for 280X)
