Would my PSU be able to run a R9 290X?

AndyC53 · Nov 9, 2013

Hi, I am upgrading my old GPU to a R9 290X over christmas. Do you think my PSU (Corsair 750W Modular) will be able to handle a r9 290X?

Other PC Specs:
Intel Core i7 3770k @4.5GHz (Corsair H60 cooler)
AsRock Z77 Extreme 4
AMD Radeon HD 6670 (Current GPU)

Yes, without a doubt it has a very powerful +12v rail at 62A, a single 290x requires a 600W PSU that supplies 33A so that's more than enough.

That's a great PSU so there shouldn't be any problems if it's this specific one.

Yes, a quality 750W power supply will be more than enough to run the 290X. You have nothing to worry about.

I'm running it just fine on a 650w PSU right now

Thanks for all your answers! Do you think I will be able to Crossfire two 290x's later on with my PSU (750W Modular)?

I personally wouldn't recommend it, it would be a good idea to get a higher powered PSU down the line if you're considering crossfire
