Will this run on this 650watt pcu.

my Spec is:

Box : Antec p180
Graphic card: Asus HD4870 1gb
HDD: SCSI 149gb (i know heh, its old)
Motherboard: MSI p45 neo2
RAM: Corsair 2x2gb ddr2 800mhz
CPU: Intel Quad q9450 stock speed with Zalman 7700

PCU :Fractal design Newton 650W ( http://www.fractal-design.com/?view=pro ... =3&prod=10 )

My question is, Can i run my system with another Asus HD4870 CF ? i mean in load like in crysis will it work?

[martini161]

yes

[Moosemans]

yes uhm ok

i did read somewhere that a 4870x2 can be better sometimes but i dont want to sell my 4870 just to buy a 4870x2, i live in sweden and its hard to find someone who wants to buy good cards cuz they are expensive -.- thats why i want another one.

btw, does it have to be Asus? and does it have to be 1gb on the other card? can i go with, like sapphire, msi or gigabyte?

[martini161]

they dont have to be the same brand as long as they are the same card, so no it doesnt have to be asus

[Moosemans]

thanks for the answers, here comes the real question.. is it worth it?

[martini161]

it depends really. what resolution do you use?

[Moosemans]

well, at this point i go for 1440 x 900 cuz i use my 32 inch HDTV and that is max res, i use Dvi (from card) to VGA (TV) . BUT i usually play with max AA ( if i can )

one other thing, Do u think my Quad will bottleneck the cards in CF?

[martini161]

no, crossfire wont really help that much at that low a resolution. the ROI would be pretty low
