So I'm upgrading from a HIS H775F1GD Radeon HD 7750 to a XFX Black Edition Double D R9 280. I noticed that the XFX requires a 6 PCI-E pin and 8 PCI-E pin connectors and at least 750 W in power, but unfortunately, my PSU only has 6 pin connectors and is only 650 W (I'm using a Ultra LSP650 650-Watt Power Supply)
Now, when I switched out to my new card and downloaded the new drivers and plugged my monitor into my GPU, my monitor reports that there's no signal. Connecting back to the motherboard or connecting back to my original GPU has no problems, but the new GPU won't work at all. Is this because my PSU is not meeting the minimum prerequisites for the GPU? Or is it something else?
I want to know what the exact problem is before I go out and buy a new PSU tomorrow. Last thing I want is to install the new PSU only to find out there are other problems to attend to.
For the record, I also have not deleted any old drivers, if that's of any help.
(On that note, any suggestions for a new PSU that could handle this new card? I'd really appreciate it.)
