| 707076 | 2008-09-22 23:36:00 | Hi, Anandtech has today posted an article about PSU requirements,good timing for you.....Here! (anandtech.com) | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 707077 | 2008-09-22 23:41:00 | They haven't posted any info about the necessary amperage though, it's easy to find any old PSU that can supply the graphics with 200w or even 300w without any problem, but it's the +12v amperage requirements that you really need to find out, hate it when websites give incomplete info! :( | wratterus (105) | ||
| 707078 | 2008-09-22 23:46:00 | Pages 8 & 9, dont think they wanted to swamp joe average about amperage... | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 707079 | 2008-09-22 23:49:00 | :blush: That's what I get for being hasty.... :p |

| 707080 | 2008-09-23 00:09:00 | I'm sure it could handle it. Although as these guys have said, it's not just the wattage you need to take into account. What I want to know is why you would want to have 3x9800GT's... Do you currently have two and not find it enough? I suspect that heat would quite quickly become quite a major concern, as the cards stack pretty much right on top of each other. It's probably way more trouble than it's worth. You'd almost certainly be better off with a better card. The 4870x2 should be crazy enough for you. |
