220w PSU with a 300w GPU

Karigaia · Jun 5, 2015

I Have a 220w PSU and I am upgrading my GPU is it possible for me to use a 300w GPU with my 220w PSU?

300w is required for the GPU alone, the rest of the system will use even more than 300w, so no.

I understand some people want to ask a legitimate tech question but this poster's question is ridiculous. I'm surprised the current moderator allowed this to go through on here.

So he can make sure, if the post wasn't allowed, he wouldn't have got an answer.

TDP doesnt mean how much power GPU uses. But how much HEAT does it generate
