Can A HD 7850 Run on my 500w PSU

[Smallthepeas]

Hi guys,
I want to know whether my setup would run the hd 7850 fine.

System Specs:
AMD A8 3870K 3.0 ghz
500GB WD Blue
8GB corsair vengeance 1600 mhz
Xigmatek nrp vc 503
Sapphire HD 7750 Non OC 1 gb ddr5
ASUS F1A75M-LE.

It will be used for gaming and for video editing purposes..

what is the brand of your powersupply? if its a branded one like Corsair,Sesonic,Antec,Enermax,XFX, etc the answer will be yes

Xigmatek is the brand.
Its a 500watt PSU (Real Full Wattage is 400w)
Model Number: nrp vc 503

It depends on the quality of your 500W PSU. If it is some off brand, no-name, cheapie, over-rated at 500W, it may not be able to maintain the voltage during heavy gaming when the card is stressed. That's when the card will be at its highest demand. The HD 7850 demands 130W at max. That relates to ~10.8A on the +12V rail. Check your PSU's nameplate and see what its +12V rail(s) is rated at in amps.

What is the make and model of your PSU? Good quality 500W PSUs will have no problem with that card or bigger.

That should be fine.

The PSU is a dual-rail one: 12V1(15A), 12V2(16A)


+12V1:
15.0A/1.0A


+12V2:
16.0A/1.0A

-12V:
0.8A/0.0A
