Hey guys!

I'm wondering if the CX 500W will be able to powerup my HD 6950. I've seen some mixed answers; I only have a 7th gen pentium cpu, 4gbs of ram and one HDD.
I just want to make sure my CX 500W won't blow up or something but I'm going to get the RX 470 or GTX 1060 soon to swap it but in the meantime I want to use this old gpu for now.

Thank you very much for your replies!
 
Solution
Radeon HD 6950 needs 30 amps on the 12v + rail and at least a 500w PSU , usually with 2 - 6 Pin pcie connections.

Your CX500 is sufficient to power the card.

It can also run the other 2 cards you mentioned.
