Can I Run Sapphire NITRO R9 380 4G GDDR5 DUAL-X On Core i3 3.5GHz 4th Gen & 630w Power supply ?

Nafsan · Dec 6, 2015

Hi,

I'm wondering to buy the new Sapphire NITRO R9 380 4G GDDR5, Its is affordable for me !

Can I run it on my old
Core i3 Intel Core i3 4150 3.5GHz 4th Gen Processor

Asus H81M-E Motherboard

& Thermaltelk Smart SE 630w Powersupply

Without any problems ?? Help Please

no it wont. you need to get a stronger CPU and Powersupply.

A AMD FX8320 will work real nice with that card, and you need a 700w power supply.

you will also need a new motherboard

I have a 380 running on a CX430w PSU, so I would say yes.

Mousemonkey :

How the heck you doing that, like his CPU will bottleneck with that card. And 700w is what you should be runnin with that card man, if not 700 then atleast 650W

PTOWN GAMER :

I have the card and mobo plugged into the PSU and then I booted up and run F@H, easy really! :lol:

Oh, and I'm using an i3 4160 by the way.

PTOWN GAMER :

his cpu will not bottleneck the graphics card and he does not need a new psu.
I'm running a 4690k @ 4.5ghz + r9 280x (which takes alot more power than 380) on my 500 evga psu .
OP , you will be fine . your cpu will not bottleneck anything below r9 290\gtx 970.
and your psu is strong enough to handle any single gpu set up .

PSU is not very good quality wise but it should run it.

Nafsan · Dec 6, 2015

Dude, link is not working

But the official Sapphire website says it suggested only 500w power supply ... now I'm confused

u sure ?

PTOWN GAMER :

You can't just shared you cart, it only exist for you.

Nafsan · Dec 6, 2015

rgd1101 :

1st of all it is HE :na:

2nd I want to buy Sapphire r9 380 4gb ddr5
& run it on my old processor, mainboard, psu

will it work ?

gregvibe · Dec 6, 2015

your psu is definitely fine for this card (I have the same), just check on official sapphire site.
but if it was me I would save some bucks and go for the new r9 380x

PTOWN GAMER · Dec 6, 2015

rgd1101 :

no i seen other peoples carts they work.

rgd1101 · Dec 6, 2015

Nafsan :

Like I said, everyone except PTOWN GAMER said is fine. Not sure what you need.

And if you miss it. Mousemonkey running i3 4160 R9 380 on a CX430w PSU

Mousemonkey · Dec 6, 2015

@Nafsan, in response to your PM yes I am running a 380 on a CX430w PSU and i3 4160 CPU and no I have had no issues with it so far and it folds 24/7.

Currently at 23 days, 17 hours and 45 minutes since last reboot.

PTOWN GAMER :

On most sites (including neweggs) this doesn't work, it''ll will either show a empty cart or what you left in it last time you where there. It will work with a wishlist if you make it public but not a secure cart. Anyway if you want to post a list of parts try using pcpartpicker.com and post the permalink or one of the markup options as just copying and pasting the address wont work..

"Do the links for individual parts work for newegg???"

Yes

Sure, but it don't matter for this thread as we know that psu work fine for the OP setup.
