EVGA 9800GX2

azianai · March 20th, 2008

So I'm on the stepup queue #20 now for it, but was just wondering since it seems the power adapter 8 pin is a funky pin, would I have an issue with the 8 pin modular one from my 520HX? Also anyone think i'll need to up my PSU? I mean i ran the PSU calculation with GTX SLI-ed and it came out to about 435W with my build.

The Corsair 520W should be able to handle it fine by itself, If you do go SLI then it may help to step up to the 620HX.

Yeah the HX 520 is SLI compatible, but was just wondering if i needed the extra juice for this card.

for a single card, I would think not... but for SLI i would suggest going another 100W higher.

You should be fine with just one card.
