Thinking of getting EVGA GTX 780 TI Classified. I was wondering if it would work with my rig.
Intel Core i7-4790 Haswell Quad-Core 3.6 GHz
Gigabyte Ultra Durable GA-H81M-S2H motherboard
Geforce GTX 580
ANTEC Model EA-650 650W Max.
Kingston 16GB PC3-12800 DDR3-1600 2Rx8
Thermaltake Versa H22 Mid-Tower Case
240 GB SSD
I was worried that the GTX 580 might be pushing my PSU a bit but the 780 TI classified draws more power. On EVGA website they both say the same power requirements though.
GTX 580:
"600 Watt or greater power supply with a minimum of 42 Amp on the +12 volt rail.****"
GTX 780TI Classified:
"600 Watt or greater power supply with a minimum of 42 Amp on the +12 volt rail.****"
So that all looks good. But the Classified requires 2 8 pin PCI-E Connectors. I think I have one 6 Pin and one 8 Pin going into the GTX 580 right now. Is there some sort of converter to make a 6 Pin PCI-E into an 8 pin PCI-E? Will the power draw be the same?
Also, my PSU has a free 8 pin NON-PCI-E connector. Could I potentially convert this into an 8 PIN PCI-E?
