Says I need 530watts at 100% load everything, and I got a 600 watts. So, when I'll get a X1950XT or XTX, I'll be at the limit!

Folks,

I'd like to hear your opinions on the symbolic fee for the Pro version access.
I realize that many of you will not be happy to pay even that small amount. But I also hope you realize how much time and research we (me and my associate) contribute to keep the eXtreme Power Supply Calculator up to date with latest components.
This fee will help us to cover the expenses for research and computer components that we buy for independent testing (Yes, we do buy stuff with our own money).

I'm open to your suggestions. Please let me know what you think about it, especially your concerns. If you have anything to say about it, just throw it in!

If you don't want to post here for any reason, feel free to send an email via our contact form here: http://www.extreme.outervision.com/contact.jsp


Thank You and Best Regards,

"Symbolic fee"!! At $99.00 a year I could pay someone to calculate it for me, or just buy a freind a six pack. Thanks for taking a good tool out of the hands of most of your future customers. The people who use your calculator the most, are teenagers who can't afford your fee.

Why not just sell advertising to PSU manufactures that sell PSU that match the required calculation recomendation from your calculator. Link the calculator user to the proper PSU site.

Namslas90, sorry I didn't explain it better: by symbolic fee I meant $2.95.
I agree with you on a yearly fee and will review it today. May I ask you what would you like it to be?

I live in California and only know of a few teenagers with Credit cards or Pay pal accounts. Parents are not likely to give up a credit card # for $2.95, every time their child wants to use your calculator.

No fee, Sell advertising from PSU manufactures in order to get matched up with the customers, who use your calculator. Match them by the results of the calculations to a recomended PSU. It should be a 'no brainer' with all the new confusing power requirements comming up with the new components available. PSU sellers or manufacturers should be more than willing to either buy your calculator for their customers or pay you to recomend the customers to them.

It's not that easy with PSU manufactures as you think. We already went thought this before.

Why would an average teenager need 365 days access? That yearly amount was designed towards companies and small shops that build PCs. If you upgrade you computer twice a year, isn't less than a $6 considered cheap?

Not when $6 will get you that upgrade you want!! They can always come here and ask TPU members, were're prety good at this!!
Well, let's just see how it goes. I for one will no longer be using your calculator. Never realy needed to anyways it was just convenient.

It's your opinion and I appreciate it. Btw, the Lite version is still free and users will not be charged for it.

ohhh, nice site, but just to say opteron 185 is missing from the opty 939 socket list. but id pay $5-$6 for twice yearly use, that would be handy, because i doubt ill ever upgradea psu more than that, well, rarer than that

my rig says i need around 555W, but thats not taking into account anysort of overclocking on my 1gb 2900xt, so i think i was right to "just" upgrade from my 580W tagan psu yesterday :)

ohh, what about the option, like cpu for gfx overclocking? tho id imagine all the poss combinations would make it somewhat difficult..

but i get around the missing opty185 by selecting opty 180 then just manually entering the speeds

Edit: I also had to select a default 2900xt, mines the gddr4 version with higher core speeds and memory speeds, so without taking overclocking into the equation id imagine that would suck a little extra power

cant believe its all real time, smooth and fast, looks like some pre rendered awsomeness!!

chaos theory was the first i looked at :)

185 and 180 have the same TDP. I will add 185 Opty with next update as well as do more research on GDDR4 version of 2900XT.

Btw, check the prices now ;) I'll run them for a few days, maybe weeks?
