It has 22A on both rail so effectively it is atleast 30-33A
vs 450 has only one rail with 34A on it. the older model with 22A(it also had a single +12v rail )has been discontinued.

you need to read the review i posted..
I was mentioning psus in total, not just with a single psu,ie vs 450.
I am quoting for the same review
Some of the secondary side capacitors are made by Aishi, but most are from CapXon – a brand renowned for poor quality capacitors. Even in an entry level product, it surprises me that Corsair would be brave enough to use them, as I have had to fix plenty of devices with failed CapXon capacitors which weren’t very old. Even Teapo and OST capacitors are generally considered to be more reliable than CapXon.
As i said earlier, every factors are important. having good ripples is a good thing. but how long does that sustain with the use of such poor quality caps?? the longevity cant be ensured.
another comment from the author here *forums.hardwaresecrets.com/showthread.php?threadid=64558
he performance was acceptable (although not spectacular), but the secondary side caps do worry me a bit. Knowing CapXon, they will probably just make it through the 3 year warranty period, and die shortly after.
Anyway Im not saying this is a good PSU but when the PSU itself is about half the cost of the GPU, what do you suggest OP do ?
PS: Both CX and VS series use the same CapXon capacitors, whereas the Antec VP450p uses capacitors from different manufacturers (of higher quality ofc)
yeah it is ok.psu is almost at half the rate of the gpu. but remember it is the heart of your system. which of the following will you give more importance??
1)heart
2)noo. i did not get a word here for replacing gpu
. but wont be an alternative to the option 1 either
.
i would choose the heart, and will most people, i think. it is a matter of fact which depends on some one who selects it.some compromise may have to be done.
