I'm pretty sure it would.
Using the PSU calculator as a guide, it states that 355watts would be enough. I just wanted to know from you guys what your take on it is.
Now I just need to choose one...scan doesn't have any of the editions with the 3rd party coolers on them :(
I don't want to have to deal with the heat issue...its partly the reason I need to buy myself a new one.:angst:
depends pretty much entirely on the brand of PSU..
what make would the PSU be? or what make is the PSU?
Antec from his "system".
Plenty enough yeah, NeoHE's are pretty good from what I remember.
COol beans - Now to choose one arrg. I dont know if I should get one thats about £180 or a £210 one with a 3rd party cooler!
Get one with 1GB of RAM ;)
If you don't fancy they extra RAM then the Powercolor PCS+ is very good at keeping things cool and quiet. http://www.scan.co.uk/Product.aspx?WebProductId=860600 or the Force3D one here http://www.ebuyer.com/product/148210 for the best of both worlds 1GB and aftermarket cooling the Xpertvision Sonic http://www.specialtech.co.uk/spshop/...cat=930&page=1
I guess I would probably go with the Force3D or the Xpertvision and probably lean towards the Xpertvision the extra memory is probably worth the extra £20
Hmmmm if I look at this logically and technically as to why I want it. I wont be gaming in anything higher than 1600x1200 - And Im sure that even then there isn't a need for a 1gb version. So saving a few bob there wouldn't be an end to everything.
With that said Ive never heard of xpertvision or that website its on! :/
Anyone else noticed that they appear to be recycleing 7900gtx coolers on some of these new cards?
Xpertvision and Palit are the same company if that helps and Specialtech are a decent enough company, I have never had any problems when buying from them in the past.
As to the 1GB or 512MB issue it makes more of a difference in different games but if your not gaming above 1600*1200 then I guess it will be less of an issue, you can certainly see a difference in performance at 1920*1200.
Ok, thanks webby.
Well you can clearly see recession hitting us. The sapphire card I originally wanted has gone from 181 to 191 to 196 in the past 2 weeks. Oh my!
