GTX 750 Ti Power consumption

[Amirul Naim]

I am currently using a Radeon HD 7750 GPU and thinking about upgrading it to a GTX 750 Ti

What concerns me is the power consumption. Will it be a better to handle the new graphic card?

On my PSU, under the Voltage section shows +12v1 and under it shows 15A
under the Current section show +12V2 and under it shows 16A

I dont have any problem running the 7750 but im worried about running the 750 ti

Is it ok?

From what I can see, that's a 480W psu and the gtx 750ti only needs 300w so you will be good.

Also the 7750 consumes more than 750ti...

It's a stock PSU that comes with the casing and i have been using it for 1 1/2 years. I am scared that the upgrade would damage the GPU since this is a low quality PSU. That is my concern.

But since it can run the 7750, i'm a bit scared about it running the gtx 750 ti.

You really think the Psu can handle the gtx 750?

Yes, like I said before the gtx 750 ti uses less power than the 7750 so it has to be able to handle it.

Just make sure you get the mainstream/lower end 750 tis, the higher end ones come with exotic coolers that require extra power.

Ty for your input but i think i will buy a corsair Vs450w along with the GPU to be on the safe side since this PSU came with the casing which only cost 25$ so you could kinda guess the quality of it.

Better be safe than sorry i guess xD.

Good choice, your the rare few that actually get good psus compared to people who do cheap out on psus (something you don't want to do).

what's your budget on a psu?

 

[Amirul Naim]

Around 50$. You got any particular type and brand in mind?

Go with SeaSonic (I have one in my system), they make very very good PSUs. Even corsair's higher end HX and AXi series use seasonic parts.

Do you have amazon prime?? Amazon is selling this 620W fully modular PSU for only $54 right now: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/seasonic-power-supply-m12ii620bronze

That is a very good deal, you would have to pay $80-$100 just to get a fully modular power supply.

I dont have amazon prime =( I've read something about corsair PSU not being haswell compatible? Is it important?
