The lower price, moderate wattage, stable rails, and overall performance are good reasons to prefer Antec's HCG-750. You can get that with the Enermax Revoltion85+, but Enermax pricing on that PSU continues to be quite high and you have to move up to 920W.

Most of us prefer PSUs similar to this, only with at least 80 Plus Silver rating and modular cables. The coating and thickness of the case are excellent, providing a very robust feel, and the 5-year warranty and support are welcome. Perhaps the cable sleeving could be better since 'Gamers' might care about appearances a bit more, but if you're not using a windowed case it won't matter. FDD drive connector), so there are plenty of connections for most PCs. In addition this PSU has six Molex and one mini-Molex (i.e. There are four 6/8-pin PCIe connectors on two cables and nine SATA connectors on three cables. The cables are nice and long, with a 65cm ATX/EPS12V CPU cable and a 55cm long 24-pin cable. At 115VAC this PSU reached up to 86%, so it meets the requirements for an 80 Plus Bronze product. Power factor could be higher with 230VAC input but up to 88% efficiency with this voltage is satisfying. The ripple and noise results with no more than 50mV on +12V are well within ATX limits. +5V and +3.3V are also close to their optimal values, and even +5VSB is always above 5.02V. In terms of voltage stability, the worst +12V rail measures 11.96V during our overload scenario. The important thing is that the PSU is almost silent below 50% load. At 100% load you definitely hear the PSU, and while 38 dBA isn't the worst result we have ever seen it's still very high. The HCG-750 generates just 25dB at loads up to 80%, which is where most users will run such a power supply. The 135mm ADDA fan is a good choice for cooling. Apart from that the EMI filtering is well equipped and most transistors are from well known brands like Infineon. The PCB material could be better and there is no MOV. The HCG-750 uses Japanese capacitors from Rubycon and Nippon Chemi-Con, there's a lot of space for cooling and airflow, and the result is reasonably quiet operation at most loads. This PSU seems to be good for gamers with overclocked PCs and one or two high-end GPUs, who may not care to spend the extra $50 to reach the next echelon of features, quality, and performance. On the other hand, the efficiency is decent for an 80 Plus Bronze model, the voltage regulation and ripple are good, and overall we really don't have any complaints. On the one hand the Antec HCG-750 is a non-modular PSU with a moderately high price-we're within $12 of 80 Plus Silver 750W and with rebates you can get other 750W 80 Plus Bronze PSUs for just $80. creeping down dark corridors in AvP or Call of Pripyat will show DX11 off much better just because you'll be able to stop and look at stuff up close.It's not easy to find fair closing words for this power supply. Personally i really like Dirt 2 in DX11, but a racing game just doesn't lend itself so well to small subtle details in lighting, shading and character poly count.

some of those DX11 effects make a big difference like full resolution pixel shaders, the value of the others are pretty debatable. that was the way with DX10 and 10.1.Дirt has a few nice DX11 effects, but still looks really nice in DX9. so long as XP and DX9 (and the 360 and PS3) remain as popular as they are, people are probably just going to make a DX9 game and then add in a few specific DX11 features. but i think that's often the way with something like this. I don't know this for a fact, but yeah it pretty much seems that way. As said before they dont work on anything but DX11. SO the game started off as DX9 AMD came to them and said here we want you to pimp your game, put in these specific DX11 effects. Going off what you said, Dirt 2 has DX11 EFFECTS it is not a game built from the ground up using DX11. I not blame AMD to doing this, this is how the things in real world working, AMD is profit oriented company, like all others.ДЄnyway the game looks great in DX9 mode too, and runs smooth with older generations cards, so everyone can enjoy the game. Its not supported for marketing reasons, not supporting DX10/DX10.1, and supporting DX11 help sell DX11 cards for sure.

Maybe it's just me but I feel that I kind of got jipped with this generation and I should get a rebate for buying a 5xxx series if i already own a 4xxx series since there was no push for DX10 in the market & one of your key marketing tools was this promise of OMWTFBBQ DX10! I'm not saying it's a bad thing to push new technologys with games that support them.but by skipping dx10 all together, to me, means they as a company kind of wants to put the mistake of DX10 in the closet and forget about it lol. So then how can we ever trust AMD/ATI if they are going to blatently kill support for a DX10 in a game marketed towards them.
