HD 6870 runs in this PSU

[manoprabhu77]

Hi,
I am having the following configuration

AMD X6 1090T
Ga-880GM Mobo
2 Seagate 1 TB HDD (7200 RPM)
2*2 GB DDR3 Ram
Crosair 450VX
Cooler Master K10 Cabinet
AOC 20 inch LED Monitor

I plan to purchase a Graphics card HD6870 will this card runs in the above psu. When i reffered the AMD website it mentioned that it needs atleast 500 W PSU .

 

[ico]

It will run.

 

[funkysourav]

i think it will run allright
your max/peak power requirement maybe around 310w which is perfectly safe levels,
considering your PSU supports 450+ with a solid 12v -33amp rail
you're safe
no worries at all

 

[Piyush]

no problems at all
it will run HD6850/HD6870/HD6950/GTX460/GTX560 without any hiccups
buy it blindly

How much is that costing you?

You can get a Zotac GTX560 Ti for 14.3k

 

[manoprabhu77]

Thanks for your all replies, I deceided to go for HD 6870 budget is around 15k

still not enquired abt the price

I needd to make sure that my PSU will support this card or not. It helps me to choose the card easily.

Ishu's suggestion was spot-on. 560Ti is better than the 6870 you decided to go for.

Have you ordered already??

 

[Ishu Gupta]

HD 6870 is around 13.5k

GTX 560 Ti is around 14.5k and is better than 6870.

As its in your budget go for it.

 

[Piyush]

@ishu
6870 @ 13.5k?
from where?
taxes included?

 

[Skud]

even the 1GB version of 6950 comes under 15K. Either this or 560Ti at this budget.

 

[Ishu Gupta]

Is it cheaper?

HD6870
Sapphire Toxic is 13.5k
Sapphire VaporX is 13k
Sapphire stock is 12.5k

GTX560 Ti
Zotac stock is 14.3k
Zotac AMP is 16k

 

[Piyush]

whoa
i thought 6870 is 14k and above
and its OC version is at 15k

i've been sleeping all these days
thanks for giving the details

 

[Skud]

Sapphire HD6950 is 14.5K

 

[Ishu Gupta]

Sapphire HD6950 is 14.5K

Yeah.
OP can't go wrong with either. Toss of a coin really.

 

[Skud]

Exactly. Boils down to personal preference.

 

[Cilus]

I think HD 6870 is the better option here as the performance difference between a GTX 560 and HD 6870 in stock speed is hardly 10% in the best cases and 6% on average. So the Price difference between a factory Oced Saphire HD 6870 Toxic @ 13.5K and a stock GTX 560 @ 15.5K is not justifiable.

HD 6870 is also a very good overclocker like GTX 560. I'm getting 42 FPS @ 3.3 GHZ CPU speed and 950 MHz Core Clock and 1100 MHz memory clock setting in my stock HD 6870 @ Crysis 2 at Full HD (1920X1080) resolution in Hardcore setting at DirectX 10 mode.

Stock 560 is only 14.3k.

MSI Twin Forzer II is 15.5k.

 

[Gaurav Bhattacharjee]

Stock 560 is only 14.3k.

MSI Twin Frozr II is 15.5k.

Yes. and the Twin Frozr II version is factory oc'd as well. Performs as good as a 570 (which is at 20k BTW).

 

[vickybat]

^^ yup twin frozr II all the way.

God, I am sure the OP's head will be spinning now
