I'd sincerely hope that an 800W power supply with plenty of conectors would supply 42W on the 12V rail ;) I assume you actually mean 42A there ;) Although that seems a bit overspecced by EVGA, given that 42A on a 12V rail would provide just over 500W, and the entire computer draws little more than 300W from the wall.Quote:
Power is sourced from 6+8-pin connectors, with EVGA recommending an 800W-plus PSU equipped with at least 42W on the 12V rail(s).
I'm still not sure whether those kind of recommended PSU specs are intended to allow for cheap nasty PSUs that can't do half their rated output, or to push more custom to the big name PSU manufacturers so they can sell more expensive PSUs. Do EVGA make PSUs at all...? ;)
Interesting thing for me in this is how close the 290X comes to even the OCed 780 Ti in many games. When the custom 290Xes come out things could get very interesting indeed....
Power / Thermals / Acoustics aside, if we are talking just plain money for performance how does a £383.99 HD7990 stack up?
Almost 600$ for this one....man I can buy a PC with a card not really bad from this one
If you game at 180p its too powerfull - lol !
