Anybody With a GTX750 on a 300w PSU?

MrBoomBoom · May 11, 2014

Hi,
So, i'm looking to get an ASUS GTX 750 for one of my other PCs (it's an Acer btw) after winning a 75 dollar gift card for coming 2nd in the school science fair. I just don't want to kill the PSU. Here are the specs:
i5 3330
GT 630
6GB 1600 RAM
1TB HDD
330w PSU

I just wanted to know if there's anybody out there with a GTX 750 or a 750ti on a 300w PSU.

Thx for any help

It will be fine. i couldn't find a 330w that would not run it.

If you get a 750 or 750ti that does not require a 6-pin connector you'll be fine on 300w as the power will come solely from the PCIe.

Hi and sorry I couldn't respond earlier. We've been bombarded with tests

Anyway, so i opened up my PC so I could clean it out and check the PSU (I meant to say 300w BTW). My power supply... is shite (I assume, i know nothing about PSUs but everything about GPUs :lol: )
Anyway, here's what the label said:
AC input: 100-127/220-240V~, 7/3.5A,60/50Hz
DC output: 300W (+3.3V & +5V=130W Max)
So, there you go. If the 750 (non-ti) won't run on this I'm willing to downgrade to an AMD 7750 or even a 7730.

Thanks for any help

I say go 750Ti that uses a 6 pin power because those cards perform a lot better and if your PSU doesn't have a 6 pin I can assure you turning 2 4pin molex (if you have 2 unused) into a single 6 pin works great. I had to come up with a 2nd 6 pin on my stock ASUS i7 that came with a 400W psu to power a gtx 670 and did just that with no issues for almost 2 years before I upgraded. (would still work if I hooked them back up)
