Hello Tom's Hardware users!
I need your proven wisdom for this please.
I have an Acer Predator G3-605 - it has a GTX 770 and just for info, a 500w PSU.
Some folks have said how can this be? As the minimum wattage for my card is 600w> but a user for this forum clarified this for me which was helpful.
My question is this: If my system can handle a 770 with absolutely NO problems/issues, is it feasible to upgrade to a 780 or GTX Titan? (Despite all this minimum PSU stuff) And better still, is it beyond beggar's belief to hold off for the 8 series GTX, and do I have a hope in not melting PCB if I run one of those future cards on a 500w supply. According to tests done, my system runs at ab out 300w at full GPU/processor load fyi.
Thank you very much for any insight
