Max Watt Consumption of GTX 770

[Matthew-san]

Does anybody know what the max watt consumption of the EVGA GeForce GTX 770 Superclocked with ACX Cooler 4 GB GDDR5 is? Also, does any body know the max watt consumption of the Gigabyte AMD Radeon HD 7850 2 GB GDDR5 is? I currently own the Gigabyte 7850 and I'm looking to upgrade to the 770 and I'm trying to figure out if my PSU could sufficently handle the 770. I have a 600 watt PSU.

i think, the 6pin max is 75w (not sure of the 8pin), so including the pci-e, that around 225w?

just check the minimum req for the card, get a decent psu (not those cheap ones), and you should be good

A stock 770 is 200W, so I'm assuming an OC'd one would be around 225. Figure 250W for some headroom.

The 7850 is a 130W card. Only has a 6pin plug so max draw can't really go above 150W. Also remember that not all 600W PSUs are the same. Can yours really put out 600W?

Not sure if it can but its ran great for me so far, it's a Thermaltake and I've heard good things about them. It's a TR2-600W, not sure if that helps any.

I guess I should look for a better PSU then, mine runs cool and silent but I don't want to take any risks. There goes my budget lol.
