gtx 750ti on my PSU

[richardavid]

Specs
Cpu Pentium dual core e5700
psu 400w,19amps on 12v rail
Will my PSU be able to power a gtx 750ti?

 

[sanzufin]

so it has 228W really, Power = Voltage * Amps
Can u provide more information of your psu? model?

Yes, if it's a good PSU.

Older PSUs had more emphase on the 3 and 5 voltages. Only newer ones put almost all their power on the 12v rail.

You shouldn't have any trouble, the 750 takes all its power from PCI-E, so no extra 6/8 pin power connector needed.

On full load, the GPU consumes ~68 watts.

What about msi twin frozr 2gb edition.
My PSU is a frontech

 

[richardavid]

The flipkart app says the msi twin frozr edition requires 600w,is that true?

Most if not all 2 fan setups like the ftw edition require the 6 pin connectors, and can pull more than just the 75 watt provided by the pci slot. If you can't upgrade the psu then I would suggest the zotac version of the 750ti that does not need the 6 pin

Edit: turns out that card only uses the pci slot so there is no need for additional power but that also limits over clocking substantially even though I wouldn't overclock with that psu anyway. On paper it would work but I would suggest changing the power supply before buying a graphics card

Exactly, one needs to check the card for that extra 6-pin PCIe connector that is not wanted in this case. Sometimes online stores are not specific enough, check the manufacturers' sites.

Suggest me the best model of 750ti(like Asus or gigabyte,oc or non-oc)that would suit my PSU

EVGA GeForce GTX 750Ti SC 2GB GDDR5
MSI N750TI-2GD5/OC
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 750 Ti LP

This is the best possible card that will work for you, it's superiour to the 750ti and it's what i would get($119 in checkout) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814126090


I you want a 750, this, but i definitely recommend the above 950 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814133530

That 950 is also a card that doesnt need a pcie connector.

 

[richardavid]

I'M from India,give me something that is available here

 

[richardavid]

Would the 950 get along with my PSU?
I heard it requires 23 to 25 amps on the 12v rail

 

[Hlsgsz]

That is a special 950 made by ASUS to work on the 75W provided by the PCIE slot(i already specified that in teh prev. post). So how would it require 25 amps?(25amps x 12v = 300W)

If you are skeptical, than this is an ok 750ti http://www.amazon.in/ZOTAC-GeForce-Graphics-Black-Orange/dp/B00IFZ547Q/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1464206888&sr=8-6&keywords=750+ti

Liek i said, i recommend the 950.

 

[Tom Crutchfield]

You can comfortably use ANY gpu that does not require a 6 or 8 pin power connector. If you look at a card on a website, in the specification, it will tell you if it requires an external power connector. If it doesn't, you're good to go.

Youe best options are the 750TI, or as Hlsgsz suggested, a 950.

A quick search on any website that sells components in india will give you that information.

 

[richardavid]

So will the 950 really get along with my PSU?because my PSU isn't a branded one.
I just need a confident "yes or no" as my decision will be based on your reply

 

[richardavid]

And how do I know if the 950 fits in my cabinet?should I check the dimensions of my cabinet?or could you provide me the dimensions of the 950 mentioned above.

I need some help here,please reply.
