[...] You are saying 750 will be enough for GTX570? What about my CPU and the motherboard - are they compatible with it?
There is nothing like a GPU not compatible with a CPU or mobo, CPU doesn't have anything related to GPU compatibility (unless you are trying to find a sweet spot of performance between your GPU and CPU, thats not compatibility anyway..), and I guess 98% of mobos got at least one PCIe x16 slot so you'll be fine with any GPU. A good brand 550w (Antec, OCZ, not cooler master) can handle a good GTX570 system with ease.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=18040&post=330035 Sun, 28 Aug 2011 08:06:47 +0200 Reply by Azured https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-18040/page-2/?recent=330035#post=330034 need 750W.

yeah never really understood why people go crazy and get 1000w CPUs.
yes, because i know of so many 1000w home consumer CPUs.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=18040&post=330026 Sun, 28 Aug 2011 03:19:16 +0200 Reply by kingexe https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-18040/page-1/?recent=330035#post=330024 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=18040&post=330024 Sun, 28 Aug 2011 03:00:50 +0200 Reply by Laerin https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-18040/page-1/?recent=330035#post=328504 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=18040&post=328504 Mon, 22 Aug 2011 19:16:22 +0200 Reply by Ordinator https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-18040/page-1/?recent=330035#post=328481 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=18040&post=328481 Mon, 22 Aug 2011 18:18:09 +0200 Reply by Martndemus https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-18040/page-1/?recent=330035#post=328369 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=18040&post=328369 Mon, 22 Aug 2011 14:29:35 +0200 Reply by Sketch https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-18040/page-1/?recent=330035#post=328368 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=18040&post=328368 Mon, 22 Aug 2011 14:20:52 +0200 Reply by Rake https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-18040/page-1/?recent=330035#post=328365 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=18040&post=328365 Mon, 22 Aug 2011 13:50:50 +0200 Reply by Makaka https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-18040/page-1/?recent=330035#post=328360 Quoted from octochris

[...] 750? I was told 800 is the minimum If I'm gonna get a good card. What about huge ones such as GTX570?

no you won't need more than 750 (apart from when buying a terrible brand) unless you overclock everything in your system to the max. I wouldn't bother suggesting a 570/580 unless you have i5 or i7 really, sure you might get some fps improvements in certain games but the 560Ti (OC editions) is actually an awesome card judging by reviews. I'm running a 6870x2 but i'm switching to a 560Ti in a few days, it'll be plenty. I would say though, if you play 1920x1080 or above you might want a card with more than 1GB memory.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=18040&post=328329 Mon, 22 Aug 2011 12:01:32 +0200
