Can I run a 750 ti with a 300 watt power supply?

danitewing · Feb 22, 2014

Just wondering, I have a dx4840 and it came with a geforce 315 so i'm looking to upgrade the graphics, also it's like 4 or 5 years old if that helps.

Technically yes, but I wouldn't recommend it due to your old (most likely crappy) OEM PSU. If you do want to add one, you should replace the PSU with a new decent 350-450W unit, which will set you back $40-50. Some recommendations would be Seasonic S12II, Antec Earthwatts, Corsair CXM and Rosewill's Green series.

his psu would be fine, its a low wattage gpu he is installing.

I'm in the same boat. I've ordered a GTX 750ti SuperClocked from EVGA, and my DX4840's 300W power supply has been fine for 4 years, but I don't know if it will be enough for my GPU.

People have told me yes, so I ordered it.

You'll probably be okay, but if you install it and have problems you can pick up a Corsair CX500 for $25.

I agree with ia2thecrowe, there shouldn't be any need to replace the PSU. Yes, if it is an OEM PSU, it's garbage, but that doesn't mean it won't work.

There are decent PSUs for $20 US if you live near a microcenter.
