imokgoca · Mar 26, 2014

Hello,

Just wondering if 500w PSU will be enough for 7970 ? Thanks.

System specs:

AMD fx6350
8gb ddr 3
PSU: Silverstone Strider Plus ST50F-P 500 W

You should be perfectly fine with your Silverstone 500W. The 7970 requires 30A on the +12V rail, and your PSU supplies 34. Enjoy your card!
