Dropped d plan for GTX295 SLI ?

^^ yah

will be going 5870 xfire or maybe fermi when its out

also dropped the quad idea coz i had to chacnge to 1000 W psu so

Already knew that as u own TX750 which wont suffice by any means

Sold ur 295 already or what ?

paraskhosla · Dec 28, 2009

yah its sold

^^ also would a 750W be enough for a xfire of 5870 which are OCed?

i doubt if the tx 750 has the capability of handling xfire 5870.I m saying this because i had read a lot of reviews about 5970 (in terms of power consumption 5870 X 2 > 5970) and few of the reviewers had trouble running their oced 5970 on a tx 850 as well

........so i guess ur best bet as of now would be to sell ur tx 750 and go for hx 850 ... tht should do the trick for u

I am also planning for a crossfire 5870 and have got a 1000 watter. Now waiting for the price of the 5870 to comedown.

Also Prakash try getting the MSI 5870 as it is always better to Cross fire similiar card and not of other manufacturers.

+1 ^As LBM said in above post use msi only for xfire yes its true with same manufacturers you will get good performance but if you have different manufactures then check that there speeds matches with each other or not because much difference in speeds like one is OC edition and other one is normal edition then there you will get the lower performance,so best of luck
