one more question is 1280 gb on the gtx 570 enough for gaming on a 22 inch screen

Avathar77 · 5 Sep 2011 at 21:34

There has been a lot of talk about some games taking more vram. But that is with a lot of AA.

So is 1280 gb enough or do i need a 2gb card?

Krony · 6 Sep 2011 at 01:35

If u have the extra cash then the higher Vram will come in handy and we never know how much new games are going to use but as i said at that res with current games u should be ok with 1280Mb.

Check for the power requirements of the GPU you are getting and see if your PSU has enough 6 pin or 8 pin connectors as well!
If you are going to use Antec 1200 you will either have to have extensions for 12V 8-pin ATX cable and may be 24 pin ATX cable as well.
There are very few PSUs with long enough 8-pin ATX cable.

did not get anything you just said why would i want extensions and am going to get ati 6970

Avathar77 · 6 Sep 2011 at 16:55

OK lets start again

6970 needs 1x6-pin and 1x8-pin PCI-E power, so check the PSU if it has got them.
Not sure about your other hardware so not sure how powerful the PSU should be.

Antec 1200 is a tall case, with the PSU at the bottom and the 8-pin ATX power cable going around & under the mobo tray will need either a PSU with long cables or an extension for the 8-pin (and 24 pin some times)

i have a 1000W plazir psu not sure what it has how do i know if it has 6 pin and 8 pin?

wannabemixer · 6 Sep 2011 at 18:35

is this the right ones ?

also is the 24 pin long enough?

wannabemixer · 6 Sep 2011 at 19:15

need an answer fast going to order to day

Avathar77 · 6 Sep 2011 at 19:23

Ok so the top image is 24-pin ATX, Middle one is 8-Pin PCI-E power with 2-Pin break out part- you need to have 2 of those PCI-E power cables for 6970(one 6 pin and onw 8 pin).
Last image is 8-Pin ATX 12V.

I just measured my PSU which was long enough for an Antec 1200. So the 8-Pin ATX 12V is 65cm long and the 24-Pin ATX is 50cm long.

Edit:
Have not heard of your PSU btw. SO not sure about ability to handle the hardware, regardless if it is a 1000W or not.

what you mean with one 6 pin and one 8 pin=? i have 2 of the middle picture

Yeah that will do.
6970 has 2 power connectors, one is 6 pin and the other is 8 pin.

wannabemixer · 6 Sep 2011 at 19:45

my 8 pin atx is 43 cm and the atx 24 pin is 62cm is the 24 long enough?
