Gtx 570 or 6950 Psu?

[Neil79]

Will either of these cards work on a 750watt 33A 12V psu?

And no i'm not getting one yet, not for another few months

yeah they both will, you could even xfire 6950 on a 750 watt

You can even Xfire 6950's on a 650w

Don't forget though guys Wattage isn't everything, amps are important too... Guess I could use google but the replies maybe helpful for others too

Did everyone miss the 33A 12V part of the post?

OP if that's all your PSU has on the 12V rail then it sounds like some no name piece of rubbish.

33A would give a 12V output of just 396W.

You might just about get away with running one of those cards but you certainly won't be able to use 2 in SLI or Crossfire.

38 amps is recommended for a 570 i think

If it runs your GTX 260 there's a chance it will run a HD 6950 ot GTX 570.

You've got more chance of running the HD 6950 as it consumes less power than the GTX 570.

To play it safe, especially if you plan any overclocking, you'll want to invest in a new PSU.
