    Yes, that's just what the market needs, more insanely unnecessary and overpowered PSUs. Has any company caught on that we're in the middle of a recession yet?

    Re: News - Sapphire to introduce higher-capacity PSUs

    Let me see.... I can't afford a new £250 graphics card, so what should I do......? I know! I'll buy a £200 PSU instead!

    Somebody has been taking their stupid pills again.

    Re: News - Sapphire to introduce higher-capacity PSUs

    well looking my PC in 'my system' used 690W at full load (3DMark Vantage and Intel Burn Test) when it was overclocked as far as i think i can get it.

    so something that needs double that is going to be HUGE
