Is a 430w PSU enough for a 750ti or a r7 260x?

gorebs · May 28, 2014

I currently have an

a10-6800k
EVGA 430w (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00H33SDR4/ref=oh_details_o05_s01_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

I have an APU because it was basically given to me.

Thanks in advance.

that PSU should run either one... The GTX 750 Ti only uses about 60-80w while the 260x uses about 120-140w... Your system might use about 350w max with the 260x.

Yes it is enough for either of them

750 Ti consumes only 65W at peak load and doesn't requires any 6 pin PCIe connector.
260x with peak power consumption of 120W requires single 6 pin PCIe connector and your PSU can power either of them without breaking a sweat.

Also your PSU can deliver 34A on +12V rail.
Your system with 260x will require about 25A on +12V rail while when paired with 750 Ti , the system will consume about 20A on +12V rail. So you have plenty of headroom with that PSU

Thanks guys, now which GPU would you guys recommend between the two?

For performance GTX 750 Ti definitely outperforms r7 260x
So I would recommend GTX 750 Ti
