my power supply (thermaltake 550w) have 1 pci slot
my gfx card (ati 6870) have 2 pci slot
i have pluged both with a cable like that:
its working but i was wondering if the gfx card is under performance or its rly shit because on some games i dont have that much fps
should i need a new power supply with 2 pci slots (or maybe more watts)
because i think that cable with 2 output isnt the best to give all the power needed.

the power suply is just acting like a "power outlet"
dont know much about hardware(penis) anyway am more into software(soft pussy)
If ur GPU rocks & ur CPU rocks like mine! you can play every game in max settings.
Ur FPS drop can't be ur card.
Must be ur ram or ur CPU.
:l
8gb
4core 3.2 ghz
XFX HD Radeon 6790
i dont want to spent that much to solve this problem
edit: je penses que LoL et BF3 utilise plus intensivement le cpu se qui explique les bas fps, faudrait O/C ton cpu à genre 3.5Ghz, c'est possible c'est un très bon proc pour O/C. Ou alors t'upgrade le tout cpu+ram+cm si ta de l'argent à dépenser :D
apres si tu connais tu me dira si jpeux bien oc ( genre 3,5ghz)

jai pas remarquer grand chose au passage de 2,4ghz à 2,8
en low ou high, basse ou haute resolution
là j'ai de 80 à 160fps
i will buy maybe new motherboard & more ram if i have money to waste, otherwise its fine but sometimes annoying low fps on LoL & bf :p
I already tested it it came op at 529WATT.
550WATT is enough.
even had low fps on ET then
bought some used gtx260 then for 50€ or so and now even newer games work quite well xd
got q6600 too, and only 2gb ram :p
but afair there are many different versions of that card, and i had the worst
