Is this power supply better than the Kingwin Maximum Power Supply 750 Watts? If so and by how much?

Not only is it a higher wattage (1000w vs 750w) which will give you more power for high-end graphics cards (like the 770gtx), but it is Bronze rated, meaning it is very efficient (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/80_Plus). So yes, it is a much better power supply.

Wouldn't know much but the azza titan gives you way more room for upgradability. Since it is 1000W PSU.

I have the 650w version, purchased on the recommendation of a friend. I also have a MSI GeForce GTX 770 and after 9 months of use I have had no issues, no problems, outstanding power supply. Hope this helps.

I believe the documentation calls for a 750W power supply, though the power usage of this card fluctuates a lot. I haven't seen the card draw more than 410 watts from the wall, putting my total system under 650W at full load. I have been using an EVGA SuperNOVA NEX750G 80PLUS Gold and it has been running fine.

That is a popular question, you can check on Toms Hardware for other discussions. AMD recommends 400w, I also used an Antec 550w for mine but others have reported that they got by with 300w but it depends on the efficiency of the power supply.

One of these draws 250 W according to Nvidia so x2 = 500. You also need to account for your CPU MoBo and other things so I would go for something ratted with 700+ watts.I recomend this SilverStone ATX12V/EPS12V 750W Silver PFC Power Supply ST75F-P (Black) or this if you want silence http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151087

Hey Ronel, I have a 750 watt power supply that I am using with this card. However, a standard power supply one with no less than 350 watts should be enough to run the card with no problems. I would recommend getting a 400 to 450 watt power supply if you will be using this card for gaming.

Make sure your power supply is big enough I got a corsair 750. Power supply from best buy...worth it..and that they supplied you with a couple a different adapters for the SATA cable...2 slots on power supply.... One for disk drive and hard drive and one for Motherboard....so make sure they gave you the right adapters and that you are pushing enough power...at least 600-650 W

what's the certification on your power supply? (80+ bronze, silver, gold, etc..), 750 should be more than enough by far, but if the power supply unit is sketchy then it could be not performing anywhere near what it theoretically should be. also, anti-surge could be related to your electrical setup, what do you have the tower plugged into? does it trip the circuit breaker or does only your tower shut off?

I seriously doubt you are using anywhere near your power supplies rated maximum. I have a 1000 watt PS connect to this UPS. Normally, it draws less then 300 watts. Even gaming, I've rarely seen it over 500.

I bought a new 700W power supply, but it's not even breathing hard, even when I push the envelope! I'd always be over-engineered than under-engineered. It will last just about forever because its not being taxed or pushed to its limit.

What Zachary said. 650 watts is more than enough power to run that card and a bunch of HDDs, disc drives, and peripherals. You picked a great card, too. Not too loud or hot, plays today's games with maxed out settings at a consign at 60 fps or higher and I've had no driver issues to date. Happy gaming.

Hi dude, the box says: "500Watts or greater power supply". If you have a certified (real) 500W PSU, you'll be ok.

You could run this on a 150w power supply as long as it wasn't garbage. It has no external power requirements, so the most it could possibly draw is 75w. This card won't even come close to that. The recommended 350w is extreme overkill because some people have extremely low quality PSU's that come with cases.

For a single card in a quality system, a good 700-750 watt power supply will give you plenty of headroom without asking the power supply to work outside of its efficiency rating.

EVGA states the minimum power supply is 600W with a minimum 42 amps available on the 12v rail, but the minimum power supply required would depend on power demands of the rest of the system. That said, if you have a name brand 750W power supply from a reputable company, it should be fine. Please do not use a power supply that came with your case. It will not be sufficient regardless of advertised wattage rating.The most I have been able to get my system to draw from the wall during general gaming is about 500 watts, but usually the power draw is closer to 400 watts during gaming. This is with a heavily overclocked I7 and Single Titan.

It does not say anywhere on the box what it recommends for power supply. I am running it on a 250 watt power supply and it works great. I dont have any extra stuff drawing power on the computer. And no on needing the extra wire. It just draws its power from the PCIe X16 slot, so you will need one of those. (make sure its an X16 slot and not just a reg PCI slot.

Also go for a higher end PSU i use a Corsair AX850 thats 850 watts and its a nice single 12v rail for better power stability. Its modular so only use the cables you need for better cable management. Its a bit more expensive but rated 80 plus gold and well worth it. Enjoy
