New Folder Question.

Hey guys, 

 

I just got my 7770 in the post and was wondering if I could whack my 7770 back in and let that do some folding? Would 600 watts be able to power both (my CPU isnt overclocked atm, or my GPU) If I leave the 7770 folding, will that impact performance? 

 

Thanks :)

600w should be enough. and it shouldn't impact perfomance if you're doing normal things like watching videos or such. But don't exspect to play games while folding.

oh and also check the FAQs to set flags to get the lastest cores to get better performance on AMD cards.

FYI - if you remove the GPU slot for your 770 and just have your 7770, you can leave it folding all the time. Should impact performance at all.
