GTX 690 on 600w

[Dean89]

Hey guys im looking to upgrade my graphics for the next gen titles. I was looking at getting a GTX 690 but i only have a 600wat PSU would that be enough? Its a Corsair CX600M.
Thanks in advance

You should get a better PSU for that card.

SeaSonic X Series X650 Gold ((SS-650KM Active PFC F3)) 650W ATX12V V2.3/EPS 12V V2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply

If you want to overclock it then it's recommended to get a 750w.

Minimum 650. Like red94 said I'd go least 750w.

A gtx 770 wood be good for along time there is no need to upgrade to 690 if your just upgradeing it for the next genrashione of games then you woud only need to upgrade your power supply to a 700w to 750w. The Gtx 690 you woud need a 800w-850w power supply.

Why bother with GTX 690. If you really have so much money to spend just get GTX Titan. It's almost as fast and power requirement is smaller then GTX690, it will run fine with Corsair CX600M. Also it will have less problems since it's single GPU and not SLI GPU as GTX 690.

a 690 is not recommended.

a GTX 770 or 780 would be all you need. Single GPU solutions are more cost and energy effective.

Check the specs on the Nvidia website. They are easy to find. We don't need to google it for you.

thanks guys i may go for the 780 or if i can find a titan at a good price ill try that :) thanks

I've heard you can overclock a 780 better than the Titan due to it having more access power available for overclocking.

The new Titan is comeing out next year.
