What is the price difference???


And how much does the GTX570 2.57Gb VRAM cost???


~S~

Very good alternative and better IMO .. :) more Vram the better.
GTX570 2.57Gb

Remember for correct performance from your system you need stable quality voltage,
some here complain their pc's dont run CoD properly with the equipment they have,
its no surprise listening to them and the comments.

I have repaired many PC's with PSU faults because the user was told it will be "ok",
toasted motherboards, hard drives, CPU's & GPU's are not funny when all you have to say is "some one on the internet told me it was ok",
then dig into your wallet because of their wonderful advice.

The CX600 is a budget PSU

The GTX570/580 are high end GPU's

Just a heads up. :grin:

So In other words i will buy this as well it about 100 euros over here:

You are right, and advising for the most expensive solution you cannot be wrong, considering that there are no statistics about this kind of issues. Everyone makes his choices and takes his responsibilities. I'm happy with my VX550 and GTX580 after 6 months of intensive use, but maybe I'm just lucky.

By the way, I was speaking about power/amps, not quality of the PSU, which MUST be of a good brand such as Corsair.

take a look

gives results a little over the top imho but it's on the safe side, a good guide nevertheless; just remember that Watts don't make up for Amps ;)

For amps and watts, better look at this one:

Instead of foggy "calculations", some solid measurement under stress. It confirms that my VX550 is more than enough for my configuration... :-D ... and for the OP too :-P

550W and GTX580?? you're pushing your luck... corsair is a great brand but VX is entry series, with that power output i doubt you've ever played any really GPU-intensive game without any issue, talking Crysis 1&2, Witcher 2, Metro... CLoD won't crash, but then again it never really pushed the GPU that hard

anyway, using Prime95 (really?...) 3Dmark, FurMark, or WhatEverMark to measure extreme gaming power needs, that's exactly what i would call 'foggy'... no harm intended but i think you're misleading the OP

that's an excellent PSU, if you ain't gonna do SLI anywhere in the future, you're set up for life

I actually decided to spend another 10 euros and i got a TX 850
