Hello. I bought R9 280x and I have 470W power supply. I will buy 600W PSU but my question is may I connect it to 470W just to try it out, I'll not play any games..I just want to see is it working?
One manufacturer XFX lists the PSU minimum as 750watts, seems odd as most others say it draws 250 and needs 600 minimum. So I'm not sure what the answer would be on your specific question, who's the cardmaker?
EDIT: I meant Wattage not TDP.
The 600w unit is most definitely enough, given that it is a good one, from a trusted brand and that he isn't running 27,5 HDDs
.
Oh and I don't disagree, however there does seem to be some differences between what one manufacturer says and what another one says, and the AMD site itself is down and can't see what they recommend so I've been going to various retailers to find recommendations. Some say it has a TDP of 250, others say 170. Very strange is all I'm saying. I usually just check 2 and if the information matches, as it usually does, I assume it's accurate, but this is the first card I looked up that had a variety of answers depending on the manufacturer.
