PSU tier list 2.0

[stavrosmast]

You know... how can a psu fail or get hot then fryed, that for gpu

 

[tiny voices]

You would not be able to tell it was fried from look or smell more than likely. It will just stop working.

 

[Onus]

Burned? Why would a GPU burn? What do you mean by burn?

Burned, such as by attaching it to an Apevia, Logisys, or Diablotek PSU-shaped object, that had been mistakenly plugged into an A/C power source at the same time.

 

[tiny voices]

Ahh now I see :lol:

 

[stavrosmast]

No, not with that way just on an old pc in which i want its card to use it as a physX card

 

[tiny voices]

What card is it? Generally PhysX cards are pointless.

 

[MarkW]

Oh you've got one of them GPU's like that little lady down the street over here cooks up every now and then? Did she pour any salsa on yours?

:ROFL: :ROFL: :ROFL: :ROFL: :ROFL: :ROFL: :ROFL:

 

[stavrosmast]

Its from an old friend's pc he doesnt know how to see its name on the pc 😛

But its geforce 9**** card

 

[Onus]

Years ago, the recommendation I remember is that to be at all worthwhile, a PhysX card needed to have at least 100 CUDA cores to make a difference. As powerful as modern cards are now, I'd like to see that tested again; I'm inclined to agree with TV that they are likely pointless, although it would be interesting to see if throwing in an old GTX460 or GTX560 for PhysX is worthwhile. This is rather drifting off-topic though, except that you'll need to be sure your PSU can handle the additional card.

 

[stavrosmast]

Yep corsair vs650 can handle this old gpu and my 960..

 

[tiny voices]

There is no point to use that card as a PhysX card. It will do nothing at all.

I have a gtx560 sitting around and when used with my GTX760 as a PhysX card in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, Warframe, and Batman: Arkham Origins (only 3 games I have that use PhysX) I gained ZERO FPS using the gtx560 as a dedicated PhysX vs. just using the gtx760 alone with all the PhysX stuff enabled.

that 9xxx card would be completely pointless and do nothing.

 

[tiny voices]

Yep corsair vs650 can handle this old gpu and my 960..

As I stated it will get you no additional performance at all, and your PSU is not good quality, so it is doubly not worth it.

 

[stavrosmast]

In my country its considered high end as it costs 80euros and people here BUY OEM.......................... Also i would like to ask here if there is a way to test if the card is OK without putting it in a computer and fry everythhing 😛

 

[tiny voices]

No there is not. Just forget about using it as a PhysX card honestly.

 

[stavrosmast]

Yeah.. I just want to se how good it is cause he will give it to me for free..

Great information!
I was confused between Seasonic M12II and Corsair RM. Will get Seasonic. 😀
Thanks,

 

[chanuka]

Will the Seasonic S12II 520W accept an UPS that outputs Simulated Sine Waves ?

 

[Darkbreeze]

I'm pretty sure the answer to that is no.

[chanuka]

Where can a FSP Hexa+ 450W stand on the tier list ?

http://www.fsplifestyle.com/product.php?LID=1&PSN=1003#

 

[Darkbreeze]

That unit uses Teapo and CapXon caps, so it's not a great unit. Probably tier 3 or lower, almost certainly, lower.

 

[tiny voices]

Probably tier 3 or lower. No higher than tier 3.

 

[chanuka]

Will it be risky to use it with a GTX 750 TI (System load is about 230W max) 384W on the 12V rail

 

[tiny voices]

It'll probably fine. It's not the best unit, but it shouldn't blow up your PC or anything.

 

[chanuka]

Should blow up ??
