Will my PSU work with these GPUs?

Ghost2609 · Feb 25, 2016

I have 550W, 12V1 18A and 12V2 18A and I wonder if these GPUs will go with it: GTX 460, 465, 470, 550, 550 Ti, 650, 660, 750, 750 Ti, 980, 980Ti.

Make and model , helps more?

techgeek · Feb 25, 2016

Your other system specs would help too.

RenoJackson · Feb 25, 2016

All of those models will work with a 500W PSU
but for the 980 and the 980TI i would definitively recommend an upgrade to at least a 750 PSU
Best Regards.

Dark Lord of Tech · Feb 25, 2016

980 will run with a decent 550w.

980ti I WOULD GO WITH 600W - 650W.

What does it have for PCIE cables?

Ghost2609 · Feb 25, 2016

4x molex cable, 2 sata, and some small cable. It doesn't have a 6-pin but I'll just get an adapter. That will do right?

Dark Lord of Tech · Feb 25, 2016

No , you don't want to use adapters if it doesn't have the proper connections , should be upgraded as the quality is poor.

madmatt30 · Feb 25, 2016

I wouldn't run anything past a 750ti on it that's for sure.

Ghost2609 · Feb 25, 2016

Mostly I have money for gtx 460, 470 or 550 will it be ok for those?

Dark Lord of Tech · Feb 25, 2016

No , like stated above anything but a 750ti is risky , as per the low quality of the PSU.

A 750ti that doesn't need a 6 pin.

Ghost2609 · Feb 25, 2016

Is this only because the PSU doesn't have 6-pin or is it something else?

Dark Lord of Tech · Feb 25, 2016

Yes , and because it doesn't have a 6 pin , it's not a very good so called 550w.

madmatt30 · Feb 25, 2016

I'd maybe risk the 550 or a 750ti with a molex adapter , mainly because they're both sub 100w cards - the 460/470 though definitely not - they're twin 6 pin gpu's.

Dark Lord of Tech · Feb 25, 2016

A 550W with no PCIE is very poor quality.

Ghost2609 · Feb 25, 2016

Will gtx 650 work well if psu had a 6 pin. If I remember correctly it need 400w and 20a

madmatt30 · Feb 25, 2016

^ or an incredibly old standard (more likely both) I remember fondly when high powered agp cards used molex connections

Dark Lord of Tech · Feb 25, 2016

Any card that needs additional PCIE power should not be run on that power supply.

Ghost2609 · Feb 25, 2016

I got that but I'm saying if it had an PCIE cable would it be ok on GTX 650?

Dark Lord of Tech · Feb 25, 2016

If you had a decent quality 550w power supply with PCIE connections it would.

Ghost2609 · Feb 25, 2016

And how do I know if it is a decent quality when I replace it?

Dark Lord of Tech · Feb 25, 2016

Seasonic , XFX made by Seasonic , EVGA GS or G2 series , most Antec are decent.

Ghost2609 · Feb 25, 2016

OK thanks. And one more thing, what will happen if I connects 650 to this psu will it damage the gpu or just won't work properly?

Dark Lord of Tech · Feb 25, 2016

Won't work without a 6 pin and you put your setup at risk.

Can happen with low quality power .

Please upgrade before you use a new card.
