Asus gtx 950 power requirements

[THEkillerjoke]

Will a Asus gtx 950 work on a 250w psu?? I'm looking at the 75w one which takes power directly from the PCI-e slot on the mb
My PC specs are
Intel i3 530 2.93ghz
8gb ram
500gb Seagate HDD
Win 7
Intel dh55tc motherboard
Iball lps223-400(250w)
Please tell me... Thanks

Are you using an Iball case? You might want to make sure that the GPU would fit in the case as well

Yes the GPU will fit in the case.

However, 250w PSU is not enough. I would not suggest it at all.

But to be honest, it would actually work. It might have stability issues though, and very slim chance of damaging some components, so I'm not recommending it at all.

You could look for a higher wattage PSU if you want. There are cheap ones like Corsair VS450, EVGA 500B, but don't expect good reliability from them as well. Here's a sample vid of my VS550 having reliability issues, http://sendvid.com/v83ajb9p

If you will opt for a good quality PSU, it will cost a bit more, but they're a lot better. Any XFX or Seasonic PSU is sure to have a great quality.

Yeah.. But i cant change my psu until it does dies....my dad wont allow.. But can I use the stck psu (lps223-400) with the card(75w tdp)..right??

You can, but remember that it will potentially damage your components and cause instability to your system.

Ok...but the above specs I mentioned should keep the card and the components intact right... Ill only play watchdogs or gta 5 for 2 hrs a day.. I don't think its much of a gaming load..

"You can", and "You may", are two totally different things.

2 hours of gameplay means 2 hours of continuous peak usage for your CPU and GPU. I believe that PSU is a few years old now is it? Its capabilities have surely degraded by now.

I thought it was already clear that potential damages may happen in your system. It's not safe to use that PSU with a GPU. You should really buy a new PSU.

Watch this vid again. http://sendvid.com/v83ajb9p
Expect that to happen very often.

No.my CPU will bottleneck the GPU right..
So the GPU will not use even 75w power...the problem is I can't buy a new PSU only I can buy a GPU..u suggest a card which uses less power but delivers the same performance.. Plz

You need a better PSU...running on what you have , well you stand a good chance of frying a few things (PSU, GPU, mobo .... anything plugged into the rig

Can u tell me a good card which is compatible with my PSU and delivers the same performance

 

[Tradesman1]

There are few GPUs that can run with a PSU that is only 250 W constant power, could prob get by with like a GTX 610 which doesn't come near to close to any 9xx, 8xx or even 7xx card

Theoretically the gtx 950(white) should work fine as the card just takes 75w power and the i3 530 takes 75w=150 the hd,DVD rw drive should make it to 250w. The PSU is only 3 yrs old it should work fine without the blue screen of death coming

no, you assume it can actually deliver its rated wattage


that unit is garbage, should not be trusted to run a lightbulb

I'm telling that because I have a en210 silent which also has a tdp(upto 75w on nvidia site) I checked the gtx 950 also. It has the same wattage. I ran games like nfsmw2012,GTA 4,GTA SA,Prince of persia. All ran fine without crashing or frying the whole PC...

the 210 will draw 2.54 Amps max = ~30w


good luck... it seems you are going to do whatever regardless

What card will be compatible with my psu..and will the non 6pin version of the gtx 950(white dual fans) work with this crappy psu??

 

[Tradesman1]

A 950 calls for a good 400 PSU, you really need a good PSU
