Solved GXT560 and GTX570 comparison

[4hya]

will my psu run evga gtx570sc?

 

[stormy13]

I wouldn't count on it, not without knowing the full specs. If it as bad as the few links I can find about that make/brand of PSU, I wouldn't trust it to run a light bulb.

Take the side panel off and get the info from the label on the PSU. And a 850W with only one 6 pin PCI-E connector doesn't sound like much of a 850W PSU.

That's exactly what I was thinking. I haven't bought a "decent" power supply in the past 3 years that didn't come with 2 PCI-Express 6 pin power plugs.

 

[4hya]

final verdict? don't buy the gtx570? until I change my psu?

 

[Maguscreed]

That seems to be the general consensus.
Corsair is making a enthusiast series now that isn't horribly priced and are all silver or gold rated.

This is very nice
Newegg.com - CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W ATX12V v2.2 SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply
...and probably one of the most positively user reviewed items I've seen online.
It comes in a modular model too but the price difference is a little retarded on that.

i've decided to just buy the evga 550ti sc. since it only needs 1 6pin pcie adaptor. will my psu be able to run it?

 

[Wishmaster]

To be perfectly honest, Im not sure Id trust it for anything.
Ive tried to find info on that PSU myself and could only find references to it. No specs, which is not a good sign.

You really need to look on the side of the power supply itself, and see what it says. Especialyy the +12V part.
Only then could we get a idea of what its capable of.


Basically, the fact its 800W means nothing.

Technically, you should have enough to power to run either of these cards easy.
But, 800W really doesdnt say much especially if it only has a sinlge PCI 6pin. I would certainly be looking at its lable on the side and see what amperages it lists.

I wouldn't use the PSU either. I'm running my GTX 570 on a Corsair HX620. It has more than enough power for this video card..and it also has 2 PCI Express power plugs.

If we cannot find any information on this PSU on the web....that would really concern me. Remember, it's powering everything in your PC.

attached herewith is the photo taken from the side panel of my PSU.

its Tommade ATX-850

now. analyzing the numbers

+12V1 +12V2 -12V +5V +3.3V +5VSB
--26A --23A --.8A -30A -30A ---3A
___________|-----------------------
___________| 9.6W 150W 99W 15W
__________________273.6W

850W - 273.6W = 576.4W for the 12V rails.
now.
576.4W / 12V = 48.0333A current on the 12V rails..
checking(though this method is wrong) . 26A+23A = 49A. 1A higher than the theoretical value.

will this one handle 560? 560Ti using molex to pcie connector?. or will it be able to run eVGA 550TI SC which the required wattage is 400W+

 

[4hya]

will my PSU handle evga gtx560ti

[4hya]

is this PSU good enough to power evga gtx570?

[stormy13]

And then some.

 

[4hya]

which is better? GS800 or that tx750?.
will both of them power up gtx570?

 

[Wishmaster]

Honestly, with a good PSU such as Corsair, Seasonic, or Antec ..

550 or 650W would be plenty, with room to spare.
Even for the 570 Superclocked.

I ran my 570 Superclocked off a TX650 for a long time with a OCd Core2Quad CPU, 2 HDs, 2SSDs, lots of fans etc and it had absolutely no issues what so ever.


A 650TX Corsair is 650W 52Amps on a single rail. More than needed for any of the cards you're looking at, if running just 1 of them, but will have headroom.


With Corsair,
GS are the lower end
TX Mid Range (Bronze Certified)
HX Series sit between the TX And AX (Silver Certified)
AX High End (Gold Certified)

Any would be superior to your current PSU IMHO.

HX650W or TX750M?

 

[Wishmaster]

With the HX being silver cerified its a more efficient unit than the TX series. They are also modular, so cable management will be a lot easier.

The TX --M is partly modualar as well though.




Honestly, either will be more than enough. Even a TX650.

But, depedning on price etc, I would probably lean towards the HX.
Better unit overall, and plenty of power for a single GPU.

 

[4hya]

the tx750M is PHP5,950 and the hx650W is PHP5,400. it's about USD138.147 and USD125.77 respectively.

will the hx650W handle (2) gtx570 sc ? just in case I upgraded to SLI configuration. or should I buy the tx750M?

 

[Wishmaster]

Not for SLI No, the HX 650 is not enough.
I mean, it can technically run them. But it will struggle to do so, and be running close to its capacity. You do not want that for long term.

Youll need to step up to at least a very good 750W, or 850W depending on your system, how much OCing your doing, and how much headroom you want.


Take a look here at the recommended PSUs for SLI setups.
Refer to the Dual 470s list (they are about equal to dual 570 SLIs for power draw)
Build an SLI PC - Certified SLI-Ready Power Supplies


You'll also need to make sure your Motherboard is SLI capable as well.

whoaw. it's too pricey... so.. having the gtx570 single gpu. which is more prefered? tx750? having more power? or hx650 having more reliable parts.?

 

[4hya]

and please add this factor to the equation.. if I decided to upgrade my pc to i7.. I'm currently at q8200.. will the hx650W be enough? w/ the same GPU. and any other specs.. please refer to my system specs
