Power of 2 different cards for Scrypt mining

Roqj · Jan 23, 2014

I currently have a HD 6870 with a 700W power supply and I plan on getting a R9 280X which adds on another 250W according to PCPartPicker, will I need to update my PSU to run both of the cards at once or is it fine?

I dont want any information on card compatibility since mining doesn't require SLI/Crossfire it's fine.

That's enough power, which power supply is it though. If it is really low quality then I would recommend an upgrade.

That PSU is recommended to use 75% of labeled wattage at most and not in stressful situations. I recommend an upgrade to a 650W minimum corsair, antec, seasonic or xfx power supply.

So this PSU is basically 525W?

Anyway, thanks for your help if you could recommend any that would be nice

This is a good quality at an amazing price, plus it is modular.
