Asus 7870 2GB Question

xS3GAx · Dec 26, 2013

I am going to get an Asus HD7870-DC2-2GD5. I was wondering how many watts it needs from the power supply 12 volt rail. I have a Corsair 430 watt ps, and was wondering if the power supply was capable enough for this card. The Corsair PS has 32 maximum amps on the 12 volt rail. Again, wondering if that's enough for this card, and how many amps the card requires.

Thanks!

What's the rest of your system. 430 sounds like it is pushing it for that system.

I wouldn't risk it, you can get a good 600W corsair PSU for $50, I'd just do that.
