T tails1515 Honorable Feb 6, 2014 10 0 10,510 Feb 6, 2014 #1 I'm planning on buying this card and wondering if my current psu is enough. All wattage calculators are giving me varied results on how much power I need. I have a AMD fx-8320 on a gigabyte GAGIGABYTE-GA-990FXA-UD3 mobo.

Solution Dark Lord of Tech Feb 6, 2014 That PSU is more than enough power , plenty to spare. A Radeon R9-270X needs at least 24A on the 12v rail and a 500w power supply. Your PSU has 56 amps on the 12v rail , more than enough. It can run that card and your specs easily.
