Getting an evga 1gb gtx 460.

BTW.... will using a PSU that does not meet the minimum fry the card or will it run the card just not at optimum specs?

thanks.

This PSU will run the card without any problems.. using PSU that does not meet minimums only sometimes fries the card, it will more likely not work or PSU will squeeze the power out of itself, so it'll reduce it's life time

hi shrkbay and thanks for the response. One questions I have. I keeping reading something about 12v+ rail being 24 amps for the PSU to be able to run the card. the PSU I listed doesnt have 24a on one rail but has 38a combined it appears. does it make a difference have the amps configured this way vs 24a on one rail? I am kinda lost.

your PSU has 2 12V rails , one 20A second 18A that's enough to run a 560 (needs around 30A), so i wouldn't worry about that, GTX 460 needs 24 A on 2 12V rails, you have 38A

X-finity? Never heard that name. Are you sure that the GTX 460 is DOA? It could still be a power issue, because the combined output on the 12 V rails is nothing.Even if I assume that it give the rated output, your's is essentially a 12*38~460 W PSU

X-finity is made by ultra. ultraproducts.com. They sell psu's and offered a lifetime warranty on them. they seem to be well built. I have had mine for almost 4 years now and no problems. it was running the gtx fine for 2 mins. then shutdown.

I also have a corsair TX650W power supply and it wont run the card. the board won't power up if the card is plugged in. the minute i unplug the card, the board gets power again.

thanks again for your help.

if so, then maybe it's a card's fault?
