Power supply Authority

If you want to objectively, accurately and scientifically determine what PSU power is required for your Vid card and PC in both watts and 12v rail amps., the forum Utility link below will show you how easy it is to calculate this information and objectively determine which PSUs are quality built, reliable PSUs that can meet your needs. Be advised that the available 12v rail amps. is just as important as the total PSU wattage. You need both to be correct.

Power supply Master

For a system running with a single GeForce GTX 570 graphics card NVIDIA recommends that the power supply unit have a minimum of 550 Watts or greater with a minimum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 38 Amps or greater and have at least two 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors.

For a system running with a single GeForce GTX 560 Ti graphics card NVIDIA recommends that the power supply unit have a minimum of 500 Watts or greater with a minimum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 30 Amps or greater and have at least two 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors.

The Corsair CX 500 is only good enough for a single GeForce GTX 560 Ti graphics card system.

Corsair and Seasonic are the only two reputable brands out of these three. Seasonic makes 33% of Corsair's power supply models.
