Can someone please conform me that is "GTX 650 Ti Boost 1 gb" is compatible with Cooler Master RS-460-PCAR-D3 460W PSU ? Please help me i am in a hurry also if its not then i will go with gts 650 ti version rather then boost one .

You may be able to get away with it, but that PSU is not a very high quality PSU. I would recommend upgrading the PSU prior to getting either of those graphics cards.

GTX 660 (All) / 650Ti Boost:
Minimum of a 450 Watt power supply
(Minimum recommended power supply with +12 Volt current rating of 24 amps)
An available 6 pin PCI-E power connector

Cooler Master RS-460-PCAR-D3

I can't find anything on the D3 version, but the A3 version was the Cooler Master eXtreme Power Plus 460W...

None of the cooler master eXtreme Power Plus units should be used for anything more than doorstops, the efficiency is horrendous, it can only do about 80% of its rated wattage, and i certainly wouldn't put it with a modern GPU if i wanted that GPU to last a while. Get yourself a good PSU, a good unit can last 7-10 years and be passed on to future builds, your GPU will be outdated in two years and you will likely replace it long before it dies.

what the difference between Cooler Master RS-460-PCAR-D3 and Cooler Master RS-460-PCAR-A3 ? And also i dont overclock my graphics card and i cant buy another PSU as i dont have that much budget

Calvin7 :

Note that OP has a multi rail PSU with two 18A rails, and the total output through the 12V lines is 324 W. OP will be seriously stressing his PSU running any of the cards.

hashim1991 · Nov 23, 2013

I think i should go with GTX 650 ti rather then boost due to PSU problems as atleast minimum for GTX 650 ti is 400 Watt . Its sad as booost version is alot better then normal one.

I have HD5750 1 gb and its running fine .

hashim1991 :

A3 has a slight increase to the 12V line.

hunter315 · Nov 23, 2013

They appear to have "updated" them recently, their efficiency is still horrible(>70%... really??), they still don't have APFC which has been on almost every unit for over 5 years, and they are coming with a 2 year warranty, still sad considering average units these days come with 5, good units with 7, and premium units with 10!

A 5750 has a power consumption of 86 W, the 650TI Boost has a power consumption of 134W, that is a large jump for a potentially marginal PSU.

hashim1991 :

I'm not saying it won't run, I'm saying that the PSU will be stressed, and may give out sooner than later.

hashim1991 · Nov 23, 2013

I am using HD 5750 1 gb and its running fine , so i think its better to go with gtx 650 ti rather then boost version .

hashim1991 · Nov 23, 2013

P1nnacle · Nov 23, 2013

hashim1991 :

OK, that doesn't change the fact that the PSU will be stressed, and may give out sooner than later.

hashim1991 · Nov 23, 2013

P1nnacle :

I dont have budget for new PSU right now , should i go with gtx 650 ti then rather then boost ? Also i play games not higher then 1360x768

hunter315 · Nov 23, 2013

Go for a 7790, it is similar in performance to a 650 Ti, but has very similar power consumption to a 5750 at 85W, it will keep your power draw about the same which providing a similar performance boost. And find some money to upgrade your PSU to a legitimate 500W unit with at least 38A combined on its 12V rails so that in the future you can upgrade your GPU and CPU without having to worry about your PSU being an issue.

P1nnacle · Nov 23, 2013

hunter315 :

I agree with this.

hashim1991 · Nov 23, 2013

hunter315 :

How about if i go with AMD Radeon™ HD 6870 ?

hashim1991 · Nov 23, 2013

Ok Guys finally i am ordering "ASUS HD7790-DC2OC-1GD5 Radeon HD7790 1GB GDDR5 128-bit, DVI-I/DVI-D/ HDMI/DP PCI-Express 3.0 CrossFire ready Graphic Card OC-selected 1075MHz core" as suggested by you guys thank you , PSU 460 is compatible with it right ?

hashim1991 · Nov 23, 2013

Anyone answer please as i am about to order

P1nnacle · Nov 23, 2013

Yes, that should work. I still stand by the idea that you should upgrade your PSU first though.

hashim1991 · Nov 23, 2013

P1nnacle :

Thank you soo much for helping me

I am ordering HD 7790 , just one last question , which brand should i go with out of these . (ASUS HD7790-DC2OC-1GD5 Radeon HD7790 1GB GDDR5 128-bit, DVI-I/DVI-D/ HDMI/DP PCI-Express 3.0 CrossFire ready Graphic Card OC-selected 1075MHz cor) or (Sapphire Radeon HD 7790 1GB DDR5 DL-DVI-I/DL-DVI-D/HDMI/DP PCI-Express Graphics Card 11210-00-20G) ? Also i have read in AMD site that hd 7790 requires 500Watt where as Gtx 650 ti consmes 460 watt , why is that ?

P1nnacle · Nov 23, 2013

hashim1991 :

Different ways of measuring. As for which brand, I'd go with which ever card is cheaper, they are pretty much the same.

Don't forget to pick a best solution.

Thank you dude and Sapphire Radeon HD 7790 1GB is more cheaper . I hope it gets along well with my PSU

Thank you so much
