Need to know if current PSU will work with 280x

Puremindless · Jan 10, 2015

I've been using this: http:// as my PSU for just over two years. I want to upgrade my card to a r9 280x, and was wondering if I'll need to upgrade my PSU along with the card, or if my current card will work. I feel like it wont because the wattage, but I've seen some conflicting info after some google searching.

No, It won't. That only give 28 amps, and you need 35+. Also, I wouldn't trust the brand. Seasonic, Silverstone, and XFX are the best of the best for PSU's.

Yeah definitely need to go another route. Look at Seasonic,XFX or EVGA.

It may work for a few minutes. But after the smoke and light show you'd probably need a whole new system.

Although not the most helpful answer, it was definitely funny.
