How many watts would I need to power two asus gtx 760 direct cu II?

Criminalz · Oct 3, 2014

Hey everyone,

How many watts would be needed for 2 asus gtx 760 directcu II?
And what power supply would you recommend for it?
I am currently living in Australia, So please make sure it's australian dollars.
Site I want you to link the PSU to me is Mwave.com.au

Thanks.

Under full load each of those cards will max out at 303W and a total of 37A, so at a minimum I would recommend nothing less than a 700W PSU. For a better answer I'd need to know the rest of your specs, including number of fans, HDD's CPU cooling etc.

a quality 750w would be ideal!

chris987 :

Unless he is running a high end, power hungry AMD FX chip and a half dozen HDD's, in which case he'll need something closer to 850W.

For SLI GTX760's you'd need a good quality 700+W PSU

eg XFX 750 $163 - http://www.mwave.com.au/product/xfx-xtr-series-750w-80-gold-modular-power-supply-ab56618

Oh I forgot I am running an i5 4570, Gigabyte Z87-HD3 Mobo, A sandisk 120gb SSD, A seagate 1tb HDD, I have got three fans in my system, a stock cooler. And a TP-Link WiFi connector.

i7Baby · Oct 3, 2014

Doesn't make much difference. Its mainly the graphics cards that'll use the power. A 750W PSU will run it all.

Criminalz · Oct 3, 2014

i7Baby :

Thanks for the info. I will come back for more help. This forum is probably the best i've made a thread on.

Thanks

Criminalz · Oct 3, 2014

Wait since the asus gtx 760 only has one 8-Pin connector. Will I need a converter? Or can the powersupply supply that?

AdmiralDonut · Oct 3, 2014

Criminalz :

The power supply will be fine with that. They usually come with a 6+2 connector for exactly that purpose.

AdmiralDonut · Oct 3, 2014

i7Baby :

For all I knew he could have had an FX-9590, which is why I asked for his specs. Unless you think that there is no difference between a 220W TDP and a 70W TDP when it comes to choosing power supplies...

i7Baby · Oct 3, 2014

He said "I am running an i5 4570"

AdmiralDonut · Oct 3, 2014

i7Baby :

Now go read the OP, where he doesn't state what CPU he is using. Then read the second post, which is mine, where I ask him to list his full specs because I wanted to know what CPU he was running. Then be quiet.

Criminalz · Oct 3, 2014

AdmiralDonut :

I have listed the specs. Just scroll up a bit.

AdmiralDonut · Oct 3, 2014

Criminalz :

I saw that fella. I was just pointing out to the other guy that I asked prior to you listing them.

i7Baby · Oct 3, 2014

You should read his other post where he says he has an i5.

Criminalz · Oct 3, 2014

One more question, will I need two HDMI ports in my monitor for 2 Graphics cards?

Thanks.

i7Baby · Oct 3, 2014

No - any two ports should be fine. But you might need to use an adapter eg DVI to VGA etc

Criminalz · Oct 3, 2014

i7Baby :

Thanks heaps.

Criminalz · Oct 3, 2014

How would this be? http://www.mwave.com.au/product/3m-core5-premium-hdmi-13-male-to-dvid-male-adapter-cable-ab49196
