        With just a few weeks remaining before NVIDIA finally launches its new GPU Series people loyal to the green camp are looking to get new power supplies capable of powering these soon to be monsters with stable and clean power. Now i can't really say what kind of power supply the new NVIDIA cards will require but i always was a have more just in case you need it kind of guy and the same applies here as well so whatever these cards turn out to need as minimum requirements when they get launched make sure you have at least 200W more in your power supply. The power supply unit we have with us today is certain to be capable of powering two or even more of these new NVIDIA bad boys with its massive 1000W of power output.

         Fractal is indeed one of the newest companies the field but so far they have managed to accomplish what took others many years to do and that is due to no small part to the high quality of their products and of course their user friendly prices. A couple of months ago we placed the Newton R2 850W Power Supply Unit on our test bench and found out that it performed on par with the best units out there while costing quite less. Today with us we have the flagship of the Fractal Designs power supply section, the Newton R2 1000W. Fractal recently also launched the Tesla power supply range which is a cut down version of the Newton series and aimed to the mainstream segment of the market since they not only lack modularity but also because its power output range from 450W to 650W.
