Uh...that 600 watt PS will run a single 295!!!
UNTAMED, Please show proof that a 600 Watt PS won't run a single 295!
Instead of just making up stuff let's just sick with the facts, whether Nvidia of ATI.
Thanks
----see the second post below yours as I run 2 gtx 285's I might have a informed insight,
---google is a good start before you call someone out.
-back to the real hardware sites , too many kids here .
That's not an adequate comparison since we'll talking about a single GPU!
It's also a good place to prove your point as well!!!
My point - even though Nvidia "officially" recommemds a 680 Watt Power Supply (
GeForce GTX 295), tests show that a "
single" GTX295 GPU comsumes less then 470 watts under full load. In fact it shows that it consumes less than a 4870x2.

You can't come in here and make up stuff and expect not to be challenged.
Peace
wow your really trying hard to make your self look foolish , standing up for a noname psu
-first , the poster did not know that the 295 was a dual gpu card ,like sli ,cf and is not plug and play , so the system needs to be set up ,cooling and power or he could end up as one of the many ,many 295 owners having problems .
-that the noname power supply you know for a fact it's rated for 600w @ 50c right 24\7
and not 600watts peak @35c and might only put out 500watts 7\24 @40c right
-and you know it's has new caps, never over heated right

Unfortunately, no. It's a tough race out there and there are a lot of guys rating their PSU's MTBF at room temperature, even if they rate their PSU at operating temperature. Fact of the matter is, MTBF can be a significantly, often exponentially, lower number when going from 25°C to 40°C. For example, one unit with an MTBF at 100,000 hours @ 25°C can have an MTBF of 20,000 hours at 40°C. That's a pretty big difference! So it's not unusual for a manufacturer to use the higher MTBF number at the lower temperature and, in most cases, not tell us at what temperature that MTBF is derived at. But even when they do tell us the MTBF temperature, this doesn't mean the PSU is rated at this. A PSU's output capability may not be seriously compromised by heat. If the PSU does 700W continuous @ 25°C and only 600W @ 40°C, the difference may not be significant enough to the manufacturer to increase their continuous wattage claims, so although they may measure MTBF at 25°C., they may very well be rating the PSU at 25, 40 or even 50°C. Unfortunately, it all comes down to marketing. It's easier to market a PSU that runs at what it's rated at 40°C then it is to market a significantly lower MTBF at the same temperature.]]]]]]]]]]]]
AnandTech - How Power Supplies Are Rated
-and you know that the noname is well cooled as my air temps coming from my tx850
run arould 41c on a warm day\room [23c] gaming , I should add I have a cm690 that the psu draws air from the out side of my case. what will the temps be in a under vented case the poster might have . not to mention the 295
-and you know the 295 vents a lot of it's heat into the case , right , so the psu near it's
limits , and your making even hotter so less power,and more chance of failure.
-and you know that he will never overclock any thing right ,
-as the one link I looked at showed a i7 @ 3.0 which is a joke right .how many more watts will that person add to their noname psu if the i7 was running @ 4.0 and the 295 oc 10-15% and couple of more 1 gig drives ,sound card ,neon lights next month.
-so I would say it's safe to tell others the true risk of using a smaller than what might be needed psu ,as you have no control over the other persons hardware ,or what they do with it, nor will it cost YOU MONEY if it go's boom.
that's the only reason I'am replying -I first assumed you were miffed the red team didn't get enough votes , but now it seems your one of those people ,that attack on the size of a power supply , because you took the risk in the past and your system ran well ?
-you can't assume another person can size up the risk putting together odd ball hardware like you can .
GeForce GTX 295 single PCB review
from GRUU3D.com
289W / 12v = 24 AMPs. So bear in mind that you'll need a 6-pin and an 8-pin 12V power connector with enough power (preferably 20 AMPs per 12v connector and thus rail). Don't . go cheap on your PSU They are important. In combo with a fairly high end system I recommend a 650~700W PSU. \ 300 watt head room the guy must be nut's right.

-and he want's a 600w for a 4890
Sapphire Toxic HD 4890 Vapor-X review
-nothing under 700 watts here for a 295
Need a new PSU? Read this first!
---so a 600watt might run it ,on any system , on any 600w psu -not will .
-any of this is not directed at the poster of this thread.
have a good day .
