GTX 460 power issues
I just got this GPU
http://www.zotac.com/index.php?option=com_wrapper&view=wrapper&Itemid=100025&lang=un
And i have it set up on an artic power 600w PSU. I was using 2x 1 Molex to 6 pin and was working fine but on dirt 2, the frames would suddenly drop to 20fps and then go back up to 60, then on lap 2, driving on the same area it was fine, so it does it randomly. I replaced 1 of the 1 Molex to six pin with the 2 Molex to 6 pin provided and now i don’t get any frame drops.
I will be getting another PSU, but i would like to know if it is safe using it at the moment? And do you get better performance from a dedicated pci-e 6 pin connecter psu?
