[QUOTE="Buck, post: 8750251, member: 591582"] I run a 850w. I love my 3800xt man. I can't even challenge it with anything that I do. I don't run stress tests, but I can't even get the thing to run high GHz for super long, because it's done processing with the 8 cores by the time it starts peaking. You want to look at your power supply's load curve. There's a certain wattage you want with certain power supplies. Something like 55-70% or so of max wattage is where many power supplies shine in efficiency or clean power. I'm like you, I just want the best frame rate. I actually don't like a lot of video game lighting effects, I have migraine issues, I play my games fairly dark. I like crisp, defined lines, because I have really really bad visual snow, so I try to make the game look as clear and definable as possible and as high FPS as I can get. Idc about lighting. GPU's are the hardest thing to understand, because it seems like they're literally a computer attached to your computer. I would trade some of the features of my GPU for higher processor speed, more VRAM capacity or clock speed. Idk if this is true, but it seems like my GPU has frame rate restrictions, because maybe it has so many image "beautifying" parts, if that makes sense. Give me all of the FPS. FPS > lighting. Game stutter is awful. My GPU doesn't get anywhere close to hot, it'll barely get up to 50C playing the way I have it set up, but yet it freaks out if I overclock with temps of like 45C....lol. My temps are super low and I can't overclock more, then like what is my GPU? If I can't clock higher but am barely utilizing the GPU, then wtf is going on? What part of the GPU is so underutilized that I'm not even making the thing get warm-ish? [/QUOTE]
