Hi,
I have a corsair G750M and i bought a R9 295X2 just wondering if my PSU is enough to run the gpu
P.S: i really can't afford a new psu that's why i want to know if running the card with my psu is possible or not.
Thanks!!
 
Solution
Maximum power consumption of that card is 500W if I remember correctly, so whilst a high quality 750W PSU would be fine, the G750M is average at best. Personally, I wouldn't try it.

I have an r9 295x2 with some nice overclocking and the power limit turned up to 50% and my entire computer consumes between 650-700 watts while playing the latest AAA games at 4k resolution with the gpu cores at 100% usage.

Corsair is a pretty reliable brand and you should be fine. You should also consume far less wattage than my setup (I have pretty overkill components such as i7 6850k, 32gb ddr4 ram, etc.).

Btw I currently have the EVGA g2 1300watt PSU. It's super overkill for my current setup and I can easily add another r9 295x2 with no hiccups.
