Excellent review. I'm going to add it to my list of references. Let's hope more competition will drive prices down.

This is based on the Seasonic M12D. I really doubt a Tagan PSU will be better.

a PSU has a lot more to it than raw amperes. Voltage regulation, noise and ripple suppression, and now efficiency are some of the parameters that count for a lot. The XFX certainly delivers on all fronts. I strongly advise you to check out a review of the Tagan's PSU before purchase

well, i would say its rated higher than tagan (he took most of the points off based on a really bad fan color)

take out aesthetics, and you get 9.89 score

sry i had to do copy past cause i am knew in tomshardware and i still dont know how to upload a screenshot^^ however for me it looks like the Tagan 900 Watt is as good as the XFX 850 Watt at the efficient in % maybe 1 thing were xfx is better it has the plug in cables so you just need to put in the psuwhat you use(i mean cables) but there are also the tagan whit this option at 850w ^^ so lets say like that i definitly belive in xfx graphic cards but i have never tested a xfx psu so i have to trust to benchmarks and if i ever see smt like that both same efficient i would rather take a tagan cause i am used to it^^

hope you dont hate me now cause i am trying to show that tagan is also a powerfull psu and also comparabel with xfx for me even better

the XFX is based on the Seasonic M12D platform.

How is an 800W PSU with 64A on the 12V more powerful than an 850W with 70A on 12V? And what exactly is a better ampere?

The efficiency is actually more like 88. The PSU is an 80Plus Silver.

idk, aesthetics usually don't mean much to me (my gaming computer is in a shitty $30 Rosewill case, good ventilation though) but the look of this PSU is pretty god awful
