I have bfg 295gtx h2o x 2 with gigabyte extreme gamer mobo, ci7 975 extreme, 24 gig ocz ddr3 ram and the psu to run it with liquid cooling.

Reason: Not have to upgrade for quite awhile.

See all you upgraders in 2015. :rotfl:

Task Force · 08-04-09, 05:25 PM

But I only have a 500 watt power supply. Engineers... will I have a problem with power if I'm not running SLI graphics?

AVGWarhawk · 08-05-09, 08:26 AM

It is all about amps. See what your PSU is putting out amp-wise and then find out how many amps the card needs to run correctly.
