Hi guys
i was given the VTX3d HD6790 from my neighbour and im not sure if my existing power supply ( ocz stealthstream 500w psu ) will power it .... the card itself is a first gen HD6790 which has a 150tdp and requires 2 x 6pin pci-e power connectors
allthough 500w is ample power for this card and the 2 x 18A +12v rails are ok aswell the single 6pin pci-e connector means i will have to use a "molex(x2) to 6pin " adapter which came with the card
however would my power supply power this card safely ... ive allready checked the card on my spare pc which uses a C.I.T 650w psu ,E5700,4gb ddr2 ram and 2 x raptors ... and it worked perfectly fine even with the molex to 6pin adapter ....
so would my ocz stealthstream 500w psu be ok ...
many thanks guys
