Hey guys, I'm thinking about adding to my rig soon and I had two questions, one about powersupply and the other about physX. I'm thinking about getting a msi gtx770 and was curious if it would be worth it to keep my oc msi 560ti in there to run physX. I know it's not implemented on many games, but was just really unsure if it was worth it since the 770 is such a beast card anyways. Secondly I have a corsair 650w modular PS and I was curious if it could handle if I ADDED the card to my rig (rather than take out the 560, but that all depends if it's worth it or not).
Let me know if I have to add any more detail.
Cheers!


My PS - Corsair Professional HX650W 650W ATX 12V 52A 24PIN ATX Modular Power
My Setup
MSI Geforce GTX560-Ti Twin Frozr 2GB DDR5 + MSI GTX770 (haven't bought yet)
Intel Core i5 3570K Unlocked Quad Core Processor LGA1155 3.4GHZ (OC to 4.2) Ivy Bridge
6MB
Western Digital Caviar Black 500GB SATA3 6GB/S 7200RPM
Corsai Vengeance Blue 16GB 4X4GB ram
Corsair h100 cooling

Yes a 650 watt psu is enough for your rig and GPU that you are looking to buy. The minimum requirement for that card is a 600 watt psu.

Is this answering that 650w is enough to run both gpu at the same time, one running physX the other one running everything else? Any thoughts on physX being run by an alternate gpu?

Oh.. I am sorry.. either way it should work if you aren't overclocking.. you should be alright with a 650Watt PSU.

If you have concerns regarding your 650PSU. Get a 700watt PSU. Because that is more than enough,

you dont need that GTX560ti for physX, with the GTX770 your physX needs would be really satified, your PSU (Corsair HX650W) is really good, good efficiency, outstanding voltage regulation, and ultra-low noise and ripple levels, the GTX770 has a moderated max TDP of 230W, needs 42A and 600W minimum,so you will be just fine with your PSU.
