Quick question, do you have two 6-pin PCIe power connectors in FSP Saga II 500w?? (pic below)

HD 6790 will require two of them. HD 6850 although faster requires only one.

If you have only one, then you can get away by using a Molex to 6-pin PCIe converter.

Last question sapphire 6790 vs XFX 6790 ? will purchase it tomorrow

if possible up your budget by 1.5k and get MSI R6850 Cyclone power edition.

@charan
i will always you to go for saffire card. has better cooling

 

[RCuber]

avoid XFX. if some problem develops, then repairing/replacing the card may take 1day to 1month. all depending on your local Rashi center.

atleast Sapphire is safe when compared to XFX.

Thanks Going for the same.

Yes my power supply has two 6 pic PCIe power connectors and sapphire also includes two Molex to 6 Pin PCIe converters too

Actually I wanted to go for the MSI R6850, but I have a really tight budget.. will be going for the 6790 instead.. as I am a causal gamer.. I will not be needing 1080p resolution

I should be going in a couple of minutes to SP Road. will post update.

Thanks all for your inputs

Cr@p.. shops were closed .. saw the 6790 in only one place . he quoted 7850 + Tax . wasn't sure if it was the right price as I could not compare it with other vendors.. so may be this week I will check the price via telephone and then go ..

 

[Skud]

Price is OK.

 

[RCuber]

Golcha had quoted 9K for MSI 6850 Cyclone (over phone). so I thought 6790 will be lower

 

[Skud]

At 9k, that MSI Cyclone is a steal. Buddy, get that instead. Also it's power requirements are lower than a 6790.

close ur eyes and get it. At 9k its ABSOLUTE STEAL.
Games are becoming demanding. Get ready for BF3 with 6850

I had asked him when he quoted this price that if its Cyclone.. and he said yes.. but in their website it's non cyclone edition and its 8.9k

[Skud]

arre, forget about their just born website. go to the shop, check it whether it's cyclone or not, if it's 8.9k, grab it, and run!!!

hmmm.. should I pay him before I run?

BTW what if its the non Cyclone edition? is it good enough?

 

[Skud]

Yeah, even non-Cyclone edition is good, but get it confirmed first.

And will it be possible to run without paying?

 

[smltngs]

hello guys,

I want to buy a gtx 560ti. i am specifically looking at MSI Twin Frozr II availble at SMC. I want to do gaming at 1080p at all high settings.
can my psu handle it?

 

[d3p]

@smltngs: Looking at the specs of the GPU, its requires 31A on 12v Rail, but your Corsair VX450 can handle upto 33A on single rail.

IMO better to get HD6850 or HD6870. Both of them can handle HD with mid settings.

otherway is to upgrade to another PSU.

 

[Skud]

VX450 provides 33A on the 12V rail. So it should suffice for a 560Ti.

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

@smltngs
avoid getting that with vx450.
@skud
you know na how max007's 560 ti was bottlenecked by vx450w.

 

[smltngs]

@jas
what happened to max007's 560 ti?
