Can my PSU handle a Sapphire HD 7750 ??

Shi123 · Sep 22, 2014

Hi guys!! I'am new to Tom's hardware !!
I'am planning to buy a SAPPHIRE HD 7750 1GB GDDR5. But my PSU( Brand - Qori, Model - 300pa ) has only '1' +12V rail with just 10A. And also it doesn't have any 6 pin power plugs.So my question is that can the SAPPHIRE HD 7750 1GB GDDR5 run well on my PSU without any problem or without any change in performance ???

Here's the label of my PSU:

I recommend picking up a new PSU from Seasonic. You don't need much wattage, 300w would be sufficient. They do make the best psus on the market. Here is a link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007657%2050001697&IsNodeId=1&bop=And&Order=PRICE&PageSize=100. Your PSU may work fine, but I don't recommend low end PSUs, ever. Ive seen them kill some good parts in my day. Don't skimp.

Sadly, your PSU extremely poor quality and not really 300W, more like 120W (Since wattage=voltage*amperes).
It can't handle the system load, get a better PSU.

So my PSU can't support a SAPPHIRE HD 7750 1GB GDDR5 ?

MeteorsRaining · Sep 22, 2014

With 10A no.

Dark Lord of Tech · Sep 22, 2014

No it can't very poor quality , get the Antec I linked above.

Thnx for ur answers!!!

I will consider a new branded PSU.

MeteorsRaining · Sep 22, 2014

Any 300W (atleast) or 350W (recommended) or higher PSUs from Antec/ XFX/ EVGA/ SeaSonic will be good enough, all the best

Shi123 · Sep 22, 2014

A corsair VS450 will be good i think so.

Dark Lord of Tech · Sep 22, 2014

Yes the VS450 IS OK , but the Antec is higher quality.
