Hi.
I bought a PSU (1Life 600W) last year. Recently it start freezing my computer and I turned back to the PSU I had before (400W). To do this, I had to remove my graphics card (GTX 560 Ti DirectCU II 1GB). Now I was wondering: I have an old PSU (really old) and I would like to know if I can power the GPU with an old PSU.
Below are the characteristics of the PSU in a picture. I have two adapters 2xIDE to 6Pin PCI-Ex. Can I power the GPU with that old PSU without breaking it with some time of use (even years, because if this works I won't have to buy another PSU)?

Thanks in advance.

Deer are notorious for making power supplies that explode taking out devices that are attached to them.

A 600W power supply that only has one 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connector is a clear indication that it isn't really a 600W power supply. Your GeForce GTX 560 Ti requires two 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors on a power supply that can really deliver a combined 34 Amps or greater on its +12V rail(s).

No it will not work. Old PSUs before this new ATX 2.0 standard means everything is running on the 3.3v rail. That PSU only has 120watts TOTAL for the 12v rail. It wouldn't even run a modern MB/CPU without tripping the safeties (if it even has one). throw it in the trash. It is 10000000% worthless.

Amazon and Newegg has EVGA 600watts Bronze PSU for $35. Completely worth it.

I thought it would work because of being running only a GPU with it, it wouldn't be working very much. So any of old PSU like this won't be able to power my GPU right?
