Gtx 770and my power supply

[ezeron]

Hey guys,

I just purchased this card for Wildstar and I was just wondering if my power supply is going to be strong enough to run it, I know nothing about power supplies at all as far as the specifications go . So thank you in advance, Here is the power supply I have http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817709027
And this is the card I bought http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814133495

PS: I currently have a Gtx 570 and it runs fine, a bit hot sometimes underload (90c).

I have never heard of that brand before, but judging by the label on it, I'm going to guess and say it won't be able to power a gtx770. Any PSU that doesn't list how many watts it has on it's +12v rail is kind of shady. It says it has two 20A +12v rails, but doesn't tell us how many watts dedicated to the +12v.

I'm pretty confident it won't have the 42A required for a gtx770. See if anyone finds better info than I have.

Only the Sunbeam Nuo is listed on - http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html#13224310

and its in tier three - not ideal for serious overclocking. So I wouldn't touch it.

Have a look at Tier One or Two psus though. eg Seasonic 620, XFX 650, Antec HCG 620M

I hope your choice of 770 is better.

So whats the verdict?

 

[i7Baby]

You're kidding? DON'T GET THAT POWER SUPPLY!!!!!!

I bought that power supply in 2011 for 30 dollars, that's why I'm asking if it will do with this card. It did fine with a 460 and a 570 so will it do with this 770? That's what I'm asking.

I wouldn't try personally. I'm afraid if it fails, it might kill other parts in your system. It looks like it has more than enough Watts, but it also looks like it has very little Amps on it's +12v rail.

Ok, thanks for the info. Any recommendations on something for like around 50-60 dollars that could run this card?

[jimthenagual]

Canadian right? I'd look at this one
Corsair TX650V2 $59.99 CDN.

It's made by Seasonic, one of the best OEM psu makers in the industry.
53A on the +12v rail.

How about somethin like this? This ism ore in my price range? http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817148046

 

[jimthenagual]

That one is listed as a tier 5 psu on the link below.

Tier five - Replace immediately. These units are NOT recommended for any system, no matter the purpose. Reference to higher tiered models for a better and potentially money-saving unit

http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html

The Corsair I linked above is only $10 more.

 

[i7Baby]

You're not even looking at waht was recommended. Good luck with whatever you choose. I've seen pc's blow up from crappy power supplies.

 

[ezeron]

Yea, Im looking at the recommendations but they are all over $100.00 on newegg.ca. Even the one that your saying is 59.99 is coming up as 110.00

 

[i7Baby]

Do a Google search for the best price

 

[jimthenagual]

Bah, that TX650V2 I linked is completely sold out. Too bad, that's a good price on a good PSU.

This one is a little cheaper
Antec Neo Eco 620C $44.99
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371031&AID=10657534&PID=3938566&SID=&nm_mc=AFC-C8JunctionCA&cm_mmc=AFC-C8JunctionCA-_-na-_-na-_-na

Thanks for finding something in my range, Really appreciate it. You think I should go with that one then? Shouldn't have any issues?

 

[jimthenagual]

It has 48A on the +12v rail, that's more than enough.
It has 2 PCI-E connectors, that GPU requires 2
It has enough watts
It's made by Seasonic, one of the best makers in the industry. It's one of their cheap ones, but still.

I'd say for your budget it's the perfect PSU.

Sold, Cheers. Thanks for the help everyone. Have a good night
