Re: New Computer time!
the EA 650 has three 12V rails, two rated at 22A and the third at 25A, with a maximum combined output of 45A. I'm fairly certain this is more than enough to run any single-card GPU currently on the market today, but if you have some more info, please share. =) Anyway, it seems virtually certain anytime someone recommends… -
Re: New Computer time!
I built a Corei7 system with Win7 , GTX285, 6GB corsair ram, PC Power and Cooling 750W Silencer power supply for about $1500-ish. And it's been the best most stable system I've ever used. No reason to really spend more than that on a prebuilt system. -
Re: New Computer time!
Look into the 12v rails, they have a maximum output for each one. I've seen 1000w PSU's that are grossly underpowered. Underwpowered for power hungry videocard setups. Although it would kick ass on a moderate setup and a nice WC kit. -
Re: New Computer time!
To be honest you wouldn't even need the second card even if you are a gamer. The cost for a second card doesn't really justify the few extra fps in my opinion but i don't know. Maybe things are better now than they used to be ? Point is. The cash you wanted to put on a second card could be put on the first one to get an… -
Re: New Computer time!
Stay away from SLI unless you're building this for playing games or if you only have one monitor. None of the apps we use day to day Max, Maya, Zbrush, Mudbox, photoshop bla bla bla benefit from SLI so it s a total waste to get two cards. The only benefit is with games... and even then most cards run just about everything… -
Re: New Computer time!
As everyone else says, you can save $500 and spend about $1200 and get a similar/perhaps better system if you buy your stuff on newegg. Alienware is for gamerkids with rich parents, who dont know any better. Save that money and get an awesome 24" monitor to go with your new system instead. -
Re: New Computer time!
Josh, see the follow up ones I posted. The first is better spec'd and is 1222 With a System Builder of Windows 7.. $1328 You save over 372 and get better components and specs than.... *shudder* a Dell. If you really want a top of the line pre-built system. Look at Northwest Falcon. http://www.falcon-nw.com/ Alienware is… -
Re: New Computer time!
Way too much money for that rig, that case, processor, and 2 graphics cards really jack up the price. You could build an i7 920 rig (overclock it to 4.0ghz), with a Geforce GTX 275, 9 gigs of ram, for around 1.3k -
Re: New Computer time!
Yeah that combo is almost 5 grand!(edit* that second one is more up my wallet's alley) The aurora comes in at an economical 1700$ (Before Tax) Mop, I might upgrade to the Geforce GTX 275, do you really think it would make that much difference? Will it make zbrush or max run smoother, or be able to handle more poly's…
