is 600 watt enough for a 6950

[Mario27]

wel im getting now the 6950 is 600 watt enough for a asus 6950 card or should i get a higher power supply?

You have to factor everything that will use the power supply. How much will your CPU use for example (overclocked)? Add that on top of what the card needs. Personally i would say get 700 to be safe and future proof, in case you plan to get crossfire.

If you want to be sure, get the best deal you can for your money so that if you further decide to upgrade (which you most probably will) you might save yourself some money on a new PSU. Id say get at the least a 750w just for that bit extra power.

ive thinked i might go for the asus 7970 :)

600W should have been enough if it was a good power supply. if you use some cheap ass one it wont bring up enough power on the pci express power cables

I dont know why you guys recommend him a PSU with so much watt. If you got no clue, dont post.
even a Intel Core i7 2600k overclocked to 4.5GHz with a Geforce GTX 590 only uses up to ~475w. (reference is crysis 2 with dx11 + hd texture pack)

For an overclocked 6950, even a good 380w PSU (preferrably bronze certified) is good enough.

ok thnx i bought a cooler master gx 750psu i think that should be ok for all graphics card im stil think between a 7950 7970 because the 7950 is around 423 euro and the 7970 over 500 euro and its not that mutch differend between 7970 7950.

[Apocaliptica]

Well, the difference between the 7950 and 7970 is about 15-20% performance ;)

Well, 600w should be enough. :)
