[Solved] Can my PSU support a GTX 560 448 cores?

Forum Graphics & Displays : Graphics Cards [Solved] Can my PSU support a GTX 560 448 cores?

My PSU is a FSP750-80AGP. Here are the specs (copied from the plaque attached to the PSU):
100-240 V, 10-5A, 50-60Hz
750 W (+3.3V & +5V = 170W max) (+12V1 & + 12V2 & +12V3 & +12V4 = 648W max)

I have no idea what this numbers mean. So my question is: can I install a GTX 560 448 cores on my system? I'm planning to buy this card to replace my current card (GTX 260)

Any recommendation?

It's not a very good power supply but yes it will run that card fine.

I still wouldn't trust that PSU. It will run the 448 core GPU. My PSU is shotty one also so don't push it so it will last a while. If you can afford it up grade your PSU to a Corsair, Antec, Seasonic, and XFX type brands.

Its an 80+ bronze rated unit, it appears to be OEM only but given the specs i can find on it, it will handle a single GTX 560 Ti 448 Core without a problem, it looks like it could even do SLI without a problem its got enough power on its 12 V rails.

Here is its 80+ report,

Single 12V rail or multiple 12V rails?

Ya I didn't see the 80+ and looking on the list of EggXpert. The list shows it to be a tier 5. I was using that as a tool.

It's a good list for reference but you have to check it close. If you look you will see FSP is also Fortron. Also newer power supplies are not always on the list. If I see an exact model on the list I go with it but if not I try and find a jonnyguru or hardwaresecrets review. Some power supplies like this one just don't have any documentation at least not in English. Not that I could find anyway.
