Hello,
Hoping someone can help me please.
I recently purchased (2 days ago) an MSI Twin Frozr GTX 760 2GB and put that in my PC and its working fine from what I can see. Games appear better generally etc - After reading some reviews and whilst I have an opportunity to return the GFX Card for a full refund I also purchased the MSI Twin Frozr GTX 770 2GB as it's only £50 more and according to reviews it's much better performance so I bought it which arrived this morning.
So as it stands I have 2 GFX cards. 1 has to go back very soon so I can get a refund. The problem is when I installed the GTX 770 this morning and ran a game as a test the PSU started making strange sound and straight away I thought it's not got enough to power the 770 properly which I believe requires 600W 42amps.
My current PSU is old, it's an EZcool 700W Model: ATX-700 JSP
In addition the couple of games that I tried using with the GTX 770 appear to jerk a little and to be honest I didn't see any increase in speed (FPS) over the GTX 760. So I'm just wondering if that's due to not enough power going to the card so it can perform as it needs to. Would that definitely be the case?
Anyway I'd like to keep the GTX 770 and return the GTX 760 to the supplier and I'm thinking of getting this PSU:
http://www.scan.co.uk/products/600w-corsair-builder-series-cx-cp-9020048-uk-80-plus-bronze-sli-crossfire-eps-12v-quiet-fan-atx-psu
Says it's 12v single rail 46amps so I'm thinking it should do the trick.
Now my question is this as I'm not that up to speed with PSU motherboards etc.. The PSU appears to have the 24pin MB connector and an 8pin CPU/power connector. My current EZcool PSU has only a 4pin power connector and on the MB is only a 4in socket so I'm worried.
Will that 8pin power connector from the new PSU split into a 2x 4pin or do I have to do something else?
Advice would be greatly appreciated
And just to conclude do you guys suggest I keep the GTX 760 and return the 770 and keep my existing PSU or just buy a new PSU and keep the 770 and will I see an increase in performance when the new GFX card gets the power that it requires?
Kind regards,
Thanks in advance,
KC
