Is this PSU enough to run a gtx 560 ti?

borab · Sep 10, 2014

I have a 500W PSU with a single 12v rail that has 24 amps.
The graphics card I want to run is this. (gigabyte gtx 560 ti)

I'll be using some molex splitters and stuff to get 2x 6-pin connectors.

The system has a Q9400 @ 3GHz, 4gb of ram and 1 SSD.

Will I be able to run this graphics card?

Thanks.

PSU Make and Model?

i7Baby :

It's not a real brand like antec, corsair etc. I think it says BeCool on it or something.

Thn dump it and get a 500W PSU from tiers 1, 2a or 2b of http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html

eg Seasonic 520, XFX 550 or Antec HCG 520M

In reality its a 288w PSU if its only got 24amps on the 12v rail. I wouldnt use that, the 560 ti can draw 170w on its own.

That is a junk psu, it will damage ur card. U need something like seasonic 520watt or corsair cx500 psu

Not Corsair CX please!

i7Baby :

Corsair CX are fine, especially for a relatively low power build such at this. Its still a tier 3 PSU.

With a lot of problems. Like the RM's. I wouldn't recommend either.

i7Baby :

Ive used tons of them without any problems.

The AX series have quite a few problems too, but they are recommended as high quality units.

you might be able to run it ( which i dont think so ) but it will be so unstable and it might damage your hardware .

go for Quality psu like corsair and make sure its at least 600Watt . wanna be more future proof ? go for 750 watt
