Can my 220w power supply run the GTX 750 Ti ?

Hello... Opps... Sorry new numbers for you.
CPU= 7 amps
GPU= 7 amps

Looks like you have what it takes to try it for a while... Keep your PS Fan and air flow open and cool.

I would upgrade it to at least a 350 watt unit from a brand name PSU maker. The PSUs that come in pre-built PCs like Dell tend to be low quality. It might work but even with the fact that the 750ti is a very low power consuming GPU and is powered off the PCIe slot, you would probably need more wattage or at the very least a higher quality unit.

Hello... 1) look on the label of your PS for the +12Vdc amperage rating.
2) CPU you have?

A GTX 750 ti will require 70 watts... 6 amps at +12Vdc.

My best advice is to dump the case and build into a New/Used mATX case and ATX PS... and your future video card selection could be limitless.

No it will not, you need at minimum 300 watts.

I was going to get on you for not looking at the card makers site, but they don't give you a power requirements on the site.

I am assuming you have a slim or also called small form factor PC which is why you have a 220w psu and need a low profile card.
You will have limited options for PSUs and not cheap. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&IsNodeId=1&N=100007657 600014011

Get Athena or FSP. Apevia is garbage and don't surprised if it takes out half your PC when it dies.

EDITED:

The above listed suggestion of getting a full sized case is a good idea (assuming you do not have a dell PC with the proprietary usb/audio/power circuit board/connector). That way you completely bypass the size limitation on the PSU and the Graphics card and have a good foundation for future upgrades.

Maybe not. Minimum power recommendation from Nvidia is 300watts, and from MSI is 400w with minimum of 20 amps on the 12V rail for the same card: and that is power needed for the whole system. Check the side label of your PSU to see how much power (amperage or amps) it can provide on the +12V rail(s), that will be a major determining factor.

Thanks everyone for the reply, some said that should work, some said that will not handle, I will tell more details about my psu, it is an 5nv0t like this one on the Picture http://en.community.dell.com/resized-image/__size/550x550/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/3515/5732.5NV0T.jpg

My cpu is a i5 4460 2.9@ Ghz, you know that is a dell inspiron 3647 small desktop, so a psu upgrade is impossible. I saw on this site that says this pc can upgrade the vídeo card to a GTX 750: http://compreviews.about.com/od/budgetdesk/fl/Dell-Inspiron-3000-3647-Small.htm

I know it is a risk i will decide to take, but i'm affraid to do it, some people said that the GTX 750 Ti watt tested are only 30-35, according to this site: http://cryptomining-blog.com/tag/geforce-gtx-750-ti-power-usage/

The vídeo card i'm looking for is the Zotac GTX 750 Ti Low Profile, don't know if my 220w psu can handle, even the vídeo card has no 6 pin PCI-E socket according to the solution above. Like i said it is a risk i have to decide to take or not, so please, if anyone can help with more informations or a solution, i really need. Thanks

That card maxes out at about 75 watts. Even if everything else in your system is 100 watts, you'll still have extra, though people's concerns about getting too close to the limit are well placed.

What I would suggest doing is ordering it from Amazon, which allows free returns. Install and run stress tests on your computer. If it shuts down or blue screens, then either return the card or else get a more powerful PSU.

Testing is really the best way to go here, since it's the only way to get a true sense of the hardware you have. Nothing to lose, except maybe return shipping costs.

I've had no problems running it using a 240w HP proprietary PSU in an HP 800 G1 i5. Runs like a dream. I've taken precautions though and moved all external devices to a mains powered USB hub to minimise system load on the PSU. I also unplugged the DVD drive internally as I don't use it much.

yes i shoul try it soon, there some few quantities of this graphic card in the market, if i can't find it i will go for the non 'ti' version, as i said my psu is only 220w, you could run it on a 240w, just to precaution you think i should take off the external devices too?
