So basically my current 500w PSU still sufficient if I buy RX 580? And also.do you think I should get the 4GB ver rather than the 8GB ver since I only play at 1080p? Thx Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Power Supply: SeaSonic S12G 550W 80+ Gold Certified ATX Power Supply ($61.89 Newegg) PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant This PSU is great for overclocking and gaming. cheersįor the 580 I suggest atleast a 500w. As for OC I dont plan to OC my cards, that's why I search for factory OC cards coz I'm still not sure my PSU can handle it.īut if I take a 4GB ver of rx 580, maybe I can use the remaining budget to look for better PSU. But some say I should wait for 2 months until amd release its VEGA line of cards and see if theres a price change in the market or (if theres such thing as magic), maybe amd card manufacturers will come up with a new card with better power consumption.lol. I think I get your point sir, actually I maybe be lil bit in a rush to get new card coz my r9 270x is at its limit for today games. your current PS should run this card and CPU but you could be at it's limit if your going to OC it? all that wattage turns into heat in your case and higher energy bill for who ever pays them B D I'm not an AMD guy because of the wattage, but I do understand the need for 'special features" from them. can you wait to see what happens this month before a purchase? Unless the news is out already? But is AMD finally coming out with a Lower Watt high performance GPU this month?. Here's the link about xfx rx 580 review: įrom that 2 links I came up with the power consumption question, coz if rx 580 8GB under load is already at 285w (silent) & 304w (OC) and i5 4670k when under load is 132w what about the other parts (ram, HDD, fan, DVD etc)?Īnd If I may ask another question, if I only play at 1080p res, why did you suggest me to take the 4GB ver instead of the 8GB? I'm curious coz youre the 1st to say that (most of my friends said I should get the 8GB).thank you I suggest the 4gb for single/dual 1080P monitor operation. B /Ĭan you give us the "exact" model#'s of your Power supply so I can double check them? B ) The ENP500AGT spec sheet here shows 408 watts on your +12Vdc rails and looks like you will be fine with your current PS. This web page shows a projected 185 watts of +12Vdc needed. but it does seem to be using a New GPU chip (14nm Polaris 20 XT(X/R) in it that will require less power to operate it. There isn't any solid tests/products that I'm finding.
