Quote:Originally Posted by Broseidon I disagree. Entire system power consumption for one GTX Titan on a system with an i7-965 overclocked to 3.8 pulls less than 400w when running Crysis 3. It's plenty of power. Not to mention both...

The PSU you're looking at is rated to still be very efficient well above 70%. I, personally, would grab maybe a 900-950W. The 860W you have will be enough but I like to have more wiggle room...you'll prob be at close to 90% utilization...

Wish I could afford to add this to my current 7970, heck I'd settle for a 7950. Cant wait to see how it stacks up to the (reference/non-reference, who knows - who cares) Devil 13 so-called 7990.

I don't really see this as being such a bad idea. AMD already announced no next gen cards till '14. On the surface it would seem likely for NVIDIA to take advantage of this, however the profit margins of video cards this year are...

Hopefully they will at least drop the price on the 7970 so I can at least double up and not feel i getting totally screwed for another year. On the financial side of things, maybe this will push them into being profitable for the first...

From the 3D mark 11 benchmark numbers, I wouldn't be surprised if the Titan scores were actually a 7990, given that it comes in just below the GTX 690. Guess we'll have to wait and see.
