To be frankly "no", but i saw this information on MSI forum, so i thought it would be good to share the information here.

@asingh, how did you manage to put your entire rig information in signature field ? i was not able to put even half of information in it :(

Superb info ashis. The 6950CFX is not there, but I guess the 6990 is a good indication. Just a look at it confirms, nVIDIA cards draw more power compared to its AMD counterparts.

But with the increasing components everyone of us buying the character limit should increase for us also.May be not like MODS but at least to 200 chars.

I think that for 560ti in sli we need a 1000w power supply because if we want to overclock the cards we can overclock them easily with a 1000w power supply. And even now processors can be overclocked so we should leave some space for that also........ So according to me 1000w power supply is best....

Yeah, 1000W is enough for 560-Ti SLI and heavy overclocking.

As here the whole point of this thread is the optimum psu for different gpus, so, 'best' is not what we are talking about, although user have the option. ;)

hello, i have a doubt...
in the table of gfx cards, for GTX 560 Ti it is mentioned 31Amps, my question is that is 31 amps required by the GPU only or is 31amp recommended for the entire system?
if the answer is GPU only requiring 31amps, then how much amps shud i buy my PSU with?

VX450 (old ones) can provide 550+ power and there is no strict rule as what PSU you should have. its just to make things easy for others that we have this table.

I have Necola NPS-1004ST (450 W) psu

+12 V1 = 17 A (max)
+5 V = 31 A (max)
+3.3 V = 32 A (max)

Will 5670 or 7750 ddr5 will run with this psu

AMD Athlon II X4 635 Processor 2.9 GHz (quard core)
Asus M5A78L-MLE mother board ddr3
Necola NPS-1004ST (450 W) psu

During idle mode, temperature of cpu is (50 to 52.1)
This idle temperature is without graphic card (I have inbuilt amd 3000 series graphic card in motherboard)

1. Is psu responsible for it ??

2. I want to buy amd 7750 ddr5.
Should I go for it in such situation ??

Hello,

Create a plan for ventilaton inside the cabinet and add case fans. It will easy hot air flow and cool the components.

I have a ATI Radeon HD 5670. I was told that the current generation of on-board GPUs are more powerful than the 5670. Is there any truth in it?
