Post your gaming setup!

I think I've heard that two 580s needs more like 1200-1500 watts.... I may be wrong, but I think 1000w is a little weak for this beast of a setup you're building.

Nah, that could be ran on a high quality 850w. One 580 alone only uses 244 watts.

its the gold series, so it will run the system just fine

(If image is too large, Cilraaz, ||Demon||, or any other mod, just go ahead and delete the large pic, I'll post a thumbnail.)

My guess would be it is too large. Always post a thumbnail for pictures, it increases loading times and saves space.

i wouldn`t run 2 gtx580 on a 850 psu.... test on guru3d shows that 2 gtx580 at fll load uses 700+watt, but a good quality 1000W psu will run them just fine

[ispano]

You likely misread that as the entire system using 700+ watts with two 580s. Even OC'd that's pushing MAYBE 300W, which is the limit of the PCIe spec, so 600W for both, still plenty of room for it all.

Still love my 980X beast, got it to 4.4GHZ pretty easy, and ram at 2000MHZ, im probably gonna skip entire Sandy Bridge generation of CPUs, i see no point upgrading over Gulftown, nothing out there uses so much power anyway (for normal users)

WORD OF ADVICE: stay away from dual gpu video cards, they nothing but problems, just buy a proper sli or crossfire (2 separate cards)

I think it's time for an upgrade, but these gas prices aren't helping the situation for me. However, wow still runs decently.

I am running 2 GTX 580's and an i7 950 @4.1GHz (plus extra videocard, 4 HDD's, 7 fans etc.) on a Corsair HX750w. I also keep track of how much power my system uses. My peak power usage, over the last 6 months, has been 775W. (My PSU can hold its own till about 920W.) That includes overclocking those 2 580's to 900MHz to run some benchmarks.

A 580 uses about 240W when fully used, this has been tested on sites like this and I can see for myself it for myself. Maybe when my CPU and both GPU's would be used for stresstesting (like Furmark without OCP and LinX) my PSU wouldn't be able to handle the load. However during normal usage power requirements will be a lot lower. I've thought about upgrading my PSU but I keep ending up at "why bother?".

That looks disgusting and messy. No thanks!
