R9 Fury with thermaltake 750w bronze

canadianbeaver · Nov 16, 2016

Hi,

I currently have a thermaltake smart series 750w bronze 80+. I'm planning to buy a r9 fury in a couple of weeks since the prices are going down because of polaris. I wanna know if my psu is strong enough to handle that beast and if I have room to oc the gpu. Also, I have an i7-4790 non k and an asus b85m-e/csm as a motherboard.

One last thing, is 4gb HBM enough for the next 2 years for 1080p/1440p?

Thank you

The Fury requires 600~650W so you should be fine with the 750W. For crossfire you need 800~900W. For 1080p sure but the Fury is already on the line of 1440p. Generally the 1060 is the highest a suggest for 1080p and FuryX/980ti lowest for 1440p.

I would say for 1080p yes but at 1440p it will depend on the game as each game has different memory requirements.

I've read on some forum that the psu I have isn't a good quality one (750w smart M semi modular), so I'm a bit worried that it might not be able to supply the card

It should but if your worried this one is top notch and should handle 2 in crossfire.

I have that power supply (I think we're talking about the same power supply, SP-750P), and it's been able to support an overclocked FX8320 (5.15ghz @1.66V) and an overclocked HD7970 (1.3ghz core and 8ghz effective memory at +220mV) for daily gaming use for about 6 months. I've never had any problems with this power supply aside from user error, and I'm still using it to this day.

Will it power your system? It sure has the wattage to do so. I would also say it's good enough as a power supply in general to not call it a fire hazard. The Tom's Hardware PSU Tier List puts it at tier 4 out of 5. It's definitely not the best unit out there, and probably has QC problems at the factory, so not every unit is as stable as mine is.
