Can you lads confirm that my Hiper HPU-4K580-MK Type R 580W Modular ATX2.2 will handle one of these

I'm running a pair of 7900gts using one of those. It'll be fine for any 8800 card.

How long do you think a 320mb GTS will last at 1280x1050 resoultoution?
Will i be able to max out oblivion at that res?

I knew you wouldn't be able to resist, I'm surprised you held out this long

Man, the amount of questions in this thread is ridiculous. They are all mostly the same.

You should be aiming for 500W+ with this card, and you will need around 26A+ on the 12V rail.

Loadsa must be the first person to get his hands on one of these. Will be interesting to find out what its like. Post some piccies when you get it!

Just like a 640 GTS with half the ram.

Although dont go on loadsamoneys bench marks cause his stock C2D will be a big bottleneck :eek:

Richdog · 11 Feb 2007 at 13:44

Loadsamoney you run your CPU at stock? Someone please tell me that isn't true...

mishima · 11 Feb 2007 at 13:50

I run my E6600 Conroe at stock!

why?

mishima · 11 Feb 2007 at 13:56

Well at the moment I'm happy with performance but main reason is cause I have a stock cooler fitted to it and the temps at the moment are high enough - reason being why I am getting rid of the stock cooler very soon cause its noisy and is rubbish at doing its job!

Dude....

Get it clocked!

8800 needs 3ghz + In my experience...

mishima · 11 Feb 2007 at 14:03

Not sure how the Abit AB9 Pro clocks with the Conroe chips but I will be nudging it up when I have a better CPU cooling solution!

You have yours @ 3.7GHz?!

My AB9 is running at 400mhz FSB, so it should be good for 3.6ghz+ with your 6600. With the right cooling and memory of course.
