Will my PSU support a second video card??

jacksondes · Dec 18, 2013

My current power supply is the Corsair TX650 v2 (http://www.corsair.com/enthusiast-series-tx650-v2-80-plus-bronze-certified-650-watt-high-performance-power-supply.html)

My current video card is the Asus R9 290 (http://www.asus.com/Graphics_Cards/R92904GD5/)

Does my current power supply have enough connections that I can a second video card the Asus R9 270x? (http://www.asus.com/Graphics_Cards/R9270XDC2T2GD5/)

Is there any possibly way I can add this second video card using adapters or something or do I have to upgrade my power supply to one with more PCI connectors?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I don't think your PSU could support 2 GPUs. Basing power consumption off of two Nvidia cards, 750W would be the bare minimum for two cards, and 850W+ is ideal.

also you cant add a 270x to use in crossfire with a 290. You need another 290, you cant use 2 different cards together.

Hi - as enemy1g pointed out it's not a matter of connectors, it's a matter of not enough power.
