XFX 430W PSU enough for HD 7790?

Phantomous · Jul 23, 2016

I plan on getting this PSU: https://www.cclonline.com/product/172154/P1-430S-XXB9/Power-Supplies/XFX-TS-Series-430W-Power-Supply-Unit-Full-Wired-80-Plus-Bronze-Certified-/PSU0784/

The XFX TS Series is a Tier 2 PSU and will be an upgrade from a really bad quality CoolerMaster Elite 500W PSU.
My specs are:

i5 2320 3.0GHz Turbo to 3.3GHz
Sapphire AMD Radeon HD 7790 1GB GDDR5
6GB RAM 1333MHz DDR3
1TB HDD

I reckon it should be, I was running my 7790 on a 400w Corsair Builder series for ages without any issues.

Mousemonkey :

Thanks, do you reckon a PSU like this would still be enough when playing heavy games at full load with this GPU?

Mousemonkey · Jul 23, 2016

The card is not particularly power hungry and the PSU should be fine when the cards at full load. I don't think there is such a thing as a "heavy" game BTW.

Mousemonkey :

As in "heavy" I was looking for a word to describe hardware intensive games, there's games that are easy to run and others are hard to run, e.g. Minecraft is 'light' and Dying Light is 'heavy.' Apologies, lol.

If you have problems running Dying Light then turn down the settings, the 7790 is not a very powerful card when it comes to gaming.
