Can i Run The Sapphire Radeon HD 6450

minepro · Mar 29, 2013

I Have a 400W PSU With
+12v1 10A
+12v2 14A
I Have 2 HDD's I Can Get Rid of the 2 one if it consumes too much power.
i have no optical drive.
i have a ecs945-gct-m2 motherboard and it should be backwards compatible with my system.
i have 2 sticks of 1gb ddr2 ram.
so can i run it?

Yes ofcourse you can run
400W PSU With +12v1 10A +12v2 14A is enough if its genuine.
BUT if the psu is not a good make might create problem in future.

Not on that low end card it wont. You wont be doing much gaming on that card if that is your purpose for buying it.

minepro · Mar 29, 2013

i will be replacing the psu in a little bit of a future and yes i play games.
the psu is codegen.

forget the hd 6450 - really bad for gaming.

get atleast hd 6570 1gb and it will work with your psu

minepro · Mar 29, 2013

i have asked on the computerforums site that can i run the hd6570 and they said i need to upgrade my psu or will it work?

ASHISH65 · Mar 29, 2013

it will work fine as it has 43w tdp,while at peak load it will take around just 30-35w

minepro · Mar 29, 2013

when i play games will the psu survive then.

minepro · Mar 29, 2013

and i think i will get rid of my older hard drive only as its 40gb only

ASHISH65 · Mar 29, 2013

yep hd consumes 15-20w so it will be more better.anyways hd 6570 will work with your psu fine
