secretagent004 Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 ^^ ok thanx for the reply (Sorry for replying late)... THe PSU finder at the Corsair Site recommends me a HX1000 psu for a gtx280 (in SLi), I am a bit restricted in my budget (as i hv already spent USD 1944 on my cpu), so was wondering if the TX850 can support gtx280 in SLi (in future, wen i plan to add 1 more card in SLi) Here in INDIA (as im from India as well), 1. ) the HX1000 costs Rs.14,800 (USD 308.33) (considering 1 USD=Rs.48) and 2.) the TX850 costs (approx.) Rs.10,200 (USD 212) 3.) so, difference is USD 96 $ (and this is a bit too much) :( So plz give me an honest advice if i can go for TX850, (for a single gtx280 its gr8 but advice me for gtx280 in SLi) :confused::confused: ------------------- Also, wat wattage or VA rating of UPS shud i hv (if i plan to get TX850) !! :confused: Is 1100VA (660 Watts) rating UPS from APC (model BR1100) enough ? -------------- I need replies on jus these 2 parts, (esp more on the TX850 vs HX1000).. :) ------------------ Cheers n e-peace...

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted February 12, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted February 12, 2009 I would suspect that under real world conditions, the TX850 would power your system with 2 of those cards with no problems at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
