    GTX 590 and PSU advice

    I wondered if you could advise on graphics cards please



    I have an overclocked core i7 4.2mhz, and a gtx 580 running on a corsair tx 650 psu, they run fine.



    If i purchased a new GTX 590 card would i be able to run it on my corsair tx 650 psu? i have read that they require a 700 psu but that also a corsair tx 650 would still be ok because its quite a good psu?



    I was also not sure of whether i should maybe go GTX 580 SLI with a 950 PSU instead, but would i see more performance with 1 GTX 590?



    thanks

    Nope. 2xGTX 580 in SLI is far far faster than 1x590

    Re: GTX 590 and PSU advice

    Something like this would be a worthy replacement:


    In all seriousness, 650W may cut it if you stop overclocking, but really you're moving into 800W territory with something like that.
