wake boy45 Report post Posted February 3, 2014 So I have a 7970 and I just CF'd it with a 280x and I feel like I'm getting close to my 750w threshold. The computer starts up, runs games, everything, works fine. The only things I notice is I get artifacting (only in fifa 13) and a tiny tiny bit i noticed today in BF4. Other than that though I have had no problems with artifacting. I get over 100 frames on BF4 maxed so it's working fine, however, if I crank up resolution scaling it drops to basically no frames. I just want to know if I should buy a new power supply, like if I could be doing damage by having an insufficient power supply. I've heard if it starts up it's working fine but I just want to make sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ir_cow Report post Posted February 3, 2014 I think your fine on the power using a corsair 750. each card takes about 200watts and another 150 for everything else, which has you sitting at 550~. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IVIYTH0S Report post Posted February 3, 2014 Overclocked? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wake boy45 Report post Posted February 3, 2014 No I turned down all of my clocks because I thought I may go over. I was overclocked with automatic settings to 4.6Ghz and I had one or two times where it wouldn't start with the keyboard powered and I was thinking that was it so I turned down the clocks.

IlijaPlayerP Report post Posted March 21, 2014 Your PSU is sufficient. The artifacting could be AMD driver-related maybe, I'm not sure though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IVIYTH0S Report post Posted March 21, 2014 are the cards both fine (artifact free) on their own?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
