EVGA Geforce GTX 560 SC PSU Requirements

[DW_2012]

Hi, everyone,

I have the following system:

1. ASUS P5Q Pro
2. Intel Dual Core E7400 2.8 GHZ
3. 4 GB Dual Channel Corsair XMS2
4. 1 Extra Cooling Fan
5. 1 WD Caviar Black SATA HDD
6. 1 DVD-W
7. Antec Earthwatts 500W-D.
6. EVGA Nvidia 9800 GT 512 MB

I decided to replace the 9800 GT with the GTX 560 SC. From what I've read, my PSU has the following:

ANTEC Earthwatts EA-500D
Voltage = Max Load
+5V = 24A
+3.3V = 24A
+12V1 = 22A
+12V2 = 22A
-12V = 0.8A

The card requires a 450watt Minimum with a +12V rating of 24 amps and two power dongles. From what I read, my current PSU should be adequate. Is this correct?

Thanks for the help.

Regards,
DW

Hi, everyone,

Thanks for all the great responses, though my query was regarding the GTX 560 SC (non-Ti version). Good to know everything will be OK.

Cheers,
DW.

As said by Tom's about the GTX 560 sans ti and I quote "If those specs sound vaguely familiar, that's because they’re the same as Nvidia's GeForce GTX 460 1 GB. It makes sense; after all, the GF114 is functionally ((( identical ))) to GF104. It was simply reworked to deliver higher clocks while using less power." So in summery a GTX 560 is an overclocked GTX 460 with less power draw however IMHO the GTX 460 HAWK Editon is a greater value if you can still find one that is and at a decent price. http://www.tomshardware.com/review [...] ,2944.html
