GTX 560 TI OC power consumption

picado — Tue, 12 Apr 2011 15:48:19 +0800

hi guys...need your advice here..

I'm probably gonna get a GTX560 Ti OC this weekend and would like to know if my power supply can handle the graphic card. I'm currently using FSP Saga 500W. It is said in the GTX 560 Ti requirement that i need a minimum of 500W power supply to run this GC.. but do you think the power will be enough?

My PC spec right now is :
Core i5 2500 - no OC (using stock cooler) im thinking to upgrade the cooler in the future
4GB RAM - plan to add another 4GB RAM for Multimedia work...
1 Optical Drive (LG) - plan to add another 1 also...
2 Hard Disk.
Mobo - MSI P67A - C45

Should i upgrade my power supply 1st?

Need Recommendation for PC Upgrade

picado — Fri, 07 Jan 2011 17:04:50 +0800

Hi all...I need input and recommendations from you.

I want to upgrade my pc for me to able to play the recent games and also do some Multimedia stuff. (Flash, Photoshop, After Effect). I have a budget around RM1300 to spend for the upgrades. I already have a decent graphic cards (Gforce 9600 GT) and Hard Disk (600 Gig) and Optical Drives. So the item i need to upgrade is...

1) Processor
2) Motherboard
3) RAM (DDR3)
4) Casing and PSU.

First, i already decide to spend around RM400 for the Casing and PSU. That leaves me another RM900 for the others. I was thinking to get Core 2 Quad 8300 proc because i thought i would be good enough but when i look further, i think Core i3 might be a better choice. What do you think? Its been years since i follow the hardware's development so im a bit lost now.

Thank You.

Need Experts Guide..

picado — Fri, 02 May 2008 00:20:31 +0800

Hi there all pc enthusiasts!

Im a novice in pc parts and config. I bought my pc December last year(2007). Here are the specs.

1) Pentium Dual Core E2180 2.0 GHz
2) Gigabyte GA-945GCM-S2L Mobo
3) 2X 1Gb Kingston DDR2 667
4) Winfast PX8500GT 256MB DDR2 Graphic Card.

My question is, if i am to upgrade my GC, (512Mb for instance..), do i need to have a better proc to work with that, because i want to avoid "bottleneck" issue. And what do u think the max GC my mobo can support ? My Mobo has PCI-E 16x slot.

I also had read some about OC and eager to try but still not confident yet.. Can the experts here advise me on :

1) the benchmarking tools? i know some like 3dMark06 n Everest.. but i havnt tried 3dMark06 yet.
2) the option for OC, whats the most recommended way../the most used.

Ok. thats all i guess. Thanks and peace..
