Very few PS during the past few years were so shit that they didn’t have enough going to the 12. That’s my point really. Even the Ultra’s which got bad reviews could handle SLI.
“Very few”? That’s something you can’t back up, so why would you bother saying that?
You know what I meant by very few…anyway, if you wanna play it safe, stick to the top tiers:
PCP&C
Seasonic
Fortron
etc.
No, the ones that are shit usually don’t run anything power-hungry in the system, that’s all. “If they couldn’t, they wouldn’t exist”. Don’t make me laugh. They wouldn’t exist if they couldn’t get sold, but any generic case bundled with a power supply will have a shitty one, guaranteed.
Lol I had a feeling you were reading while i was editing…at least you didn’t quote haha, not that I didn’t like my initial post, just made it shorter, cause I thought it was long winded.
PS’s wouldn’t exist if they couldn’t run main stream systems. Don’t believe the hype…even “shitty” power supplies can run MOST gaming systems. It’s not that hard to power a video card and a CPU (the other parts don’t really matter). Did I say all PS’s can run ALL systems? No…I think it’s fairly obvious where I’m going with this. If you don’t understand that marketing is bullshit, then I dunno what to say. If they couldn’t convince ppl that they NEED more power, how the fuck would they sell their shit? If anything, power should be going DOWN, since that’s the trend for CPU’s and GPU’s nowdays.
I don’t know if you said all PSUs can run all systems, because you removed your whole message.
A lot of people want to buy more PSU than they need for peace of mind. (I’m not necessarily speaking about power ratings.) You could always go with something that barely scrapes by, but in the long run the reliable one is the better option. This has nothing to do with marketing.
Power consumption is fairly cyclic but always trends upward.
Peace of mind is the trademark of scams. Get what you need, not what might be better in case of a freak accident (such as a massive power surge).
The best combo is name brand, average watt powersupply + a name brand, average powerbar.
And that’s if you’re paranoid. You can scrape by just fine with a lot less…
Whatever.
I think its actually the opposite.
dude, ultra.
Why would you SLI? There’s nothing right now that needs it or make good use of it.
Get a good PSU so you don’t have to upgrade the damn thing.
i r idiot
Happy New Year!
Happy new year T.O!
