GTX480 + 9800GTX+ with PSU 650W ?

[gogo]

Hello, I have Nvidia 9800GTX+. Is PSU (corsair 650 W) enought if I bye GTX480? Is it possible ot use 9800GTX+ for physx? My CPU is Intel C2D 8500.

i say its going to be interesting. depending on the rest of the system. forget about the second card with that psu, itll probably be too close

In all honesty, a 9800 GTX is way overkill for a dedicated physX card.... can't make any good recomendations on actual model, but you'd probably be much better off to sell the 9800GTX and purchase a new low power 2xx card as a dedicated physX card.

A good 650W PSU (since you mention Corsair, that would mean either the TX650 or HX650) would be enough for all of that.

If you have the 6 pin version 9800GTX+ . What are your extra power conectors on your Power supply?

Well depends on the game. BAA, Cryotasis(sp?), Supersonic Sled all need a pretty powerful GPU for physx at max. The 9800 GT is not good enough.

I don't see the need for a PhysX GPU so I say ditch the 9800GTX. Sell it to me =D

I think a Corsair 650W is enough. Got more system specs, such has hard drive, mobo, RAM, etc.? It'll greatly help us help you.

actually there was a post where a 260 was making a difference in physix
