Can my computer handle an MSI GeForce GTX 960 GAMING 4G (V320-034R)

unknown100500 · Apr 14, 2016

I've been thinking of buying an MSI GeForce GTX 960 GAMING 4G (V320-034R). I was just wondering if my computer can handle it, or if I have to do any upgrades. Here are my PC specs: https://gyazo.com/6bc4f57aa20dd289b60c241f4fbbcf09

Your computer can easily handle it on all but the most CPU intensive games.

Probably, that spec sheet does not say what power supply you have. Can you get the make and model of your power supply?

No... Open it up and look at the label on the power supply.

legonate416 · Apr 14, 2016

As long as your power supply is over ~350w you should be fine. Though I'd recommend 400w or above for the system you have.

If it has an 8pin pcie connector that the msi gaming 960 needs. I would not recommend using a molex adapter or something.

Well yes, of course. Assuming the PSU does in fact have an 8 pin.

You'll be good, then. PSU's quality is up for debate but it should handle a 960.

Don't use that power supply. We do not know anything about it.

Actually, there is no way we can make this statement. Define what you mean by "handle a 960". It may man handle it for all we know

I meant as in the wattage is fine for being able to run a GTX 960 setup.

I never said it was a good PSU.

turkey3_scratch · Apr 14, 2016

Wattage labels mean nothing. Neither do amperage values. They can be labelled with any value made up out of the blue and be legally sold. They can't be trusted.

How "good" a PSU is is what defines if it is suitable for the hardware. Since PSUs do not store power and cannot run out of power, how the PSU performs and is built are pretty much the sole factors as to if it is sufficient or not for hardware.

I was unaware that using false wattage labels was legal. I do know that some PSUs label wattage by peak wattage and not consistent wattage.
