I'm looking for specs on the new 9xxx series to determine if I would need to upgrade my PSU and mobo.
Any info?
Any info?
The review called it average and loud but nothing other then that
Ooo, a fan made from concrete!
You dont know that old joke?
It must not have made its way across the pond. lol
I'm assuming you're guessing. 7950 requires 500W, 7990 requires 750W. logically speaking, 99xx should need 950W or greater but then again AMD is known for GPUs with low relative power consumption. Unfortunately there's no early scoop on the 99xx's power req. I guess we have to wait and see because no one knows really for sure.Originally Posted by megajesus
Amps on the 12v rail(s) is the most important issue. Second is if there is a connector compatibility problem, such as only have 6pin when you need 8pin or 20pin when you need 24 pin. But that can be fixed with a simple bridge from spare cable. The two additional pins are both ground in the case of PCIe power connector.
Your PSU is more than enough.
Newer hardware use less power not moreOriginally Posted by Stealth3si

Yes thats still hardware
Before I say anything, I want to point out that this thread is not asking about the 99xx series, but it's asking about the entire 9000 Series.Originally Posted by Stealth3si

And I know you don't know that the power ratings that AMD and Nvidia for their cards are at best can be construed as suggestions. I don't need to speak on this further as Twocables posted the logic. There is 48 amps~ on your 12v rail for your PSU. You are not a Vulcan, k?Originally Posted by Stealth3si

I don't know what you're talking about. What's a Vulcan, aside from Star Trek?
