Question PSU for gpu evga gtx 570 2.5gb

[Andrew0889]

Hello, I wanted to know what source I should buy to be able to correctly power this evga 570 gtx gpu (https://www.evga.com/products/specs/gpu.aspx?pn=908B84E5-DB90-4FEB-BB8D-573AC0A9203B) , in the evga specifications it says that I need a 550w source with a +12v 38A rail, currently I have a 520 multirail +12v 17A and a +12v2 20A source, I have noticed that in the middle of the games it runs out of video, I connected it in parallel with another generic source that has +12v 12A and lasts a little more than an hour in games but it keeps running out of signal, I thought it was the evga gpu, so I put multi gpu, use the integrated one in valorant with the dedicated gpu sleeping, but it also hung, which makes me think that I am effectively running out of power, with my current budget I can buy these power supplies:

Welcome to Tom's forum. Both PSUs you linked are, quality wise, trash.
The GPU you have is not going to draw more then 200 W from PCIe connectors in any case so if you have 20A 12V rail it should be more then enough (assuming the PSU is still capable of outputting it - how old it is?).
When you tested on iGPU, did you physically removed 570 from system? If not then it was not a good test. If you did then there is no way you would run out of power (again, assuming your current PSU is anywhere near its declared potential). At this point, without further info I would rather still suspect GPU more then PSU.

My PSU is 12 years old (https://http2.mlstatic.com/D_NQ_NP_855872-MLA49475556936_032022-O.webp), without the gtx570 my PC works fine,

12 years? A bit of miracle it still works. Definitely new PSU would be in order. Though all your setup is not drawing more then 300 W so no need to look for 600W units. Prioritize quality over wattage.
Any chance to test your GPU in another machine?

Unfortunately I have no other source, nor anyone to test the gpu for me, the person who gave me the EVGA gpu told me that it consumes a lot and he was paid when playing games, in fact I have another generic 600w psu in parallel with the psu of real 520w, the game that hangs is Valorant, in Project Cars 3 it happens to me that with the 520W psu it runs out of video after 15min, with the 2 two connected it does not run out of video that's why I have doubts about it, my budget at the moment is not good and I am looking for profitable options especially because in theory my pc does not consume much energy, but it keeps up.
I forgot to mention my motherboard is:

A88XM-A/USB 3.1

What model it is and how old?

the psu of real 520w

Talking about that Power Cooler? It was 300 W unit. 12 years ago. Now probably closer to 200 W.

my budget at the moment is not good and I am looking for profitable options especially because in theory my pc does not consume much energy

Profitable options for PSU means buying something maybe costing more but guaranteed to last longer. True, your current PSU lasted 12 years even though it is not good unit - but hey, miracles happen sometimes.

Without testing the GPU in other machine we can't really say that it is 100% PSU fault. Well, it could even be motherboard that causes trouble. Still it probably would be best to start with new PSU. If you tell me where you buy and what's your budget and I can take a look and maybe find something for you.

So with two psu's powering the pc no problems if i read right, seems to me that a new psu should fix your problems. What is your max budget?

At the time that powercooler source was very good I had it used with an evga 9600gtx on another pc, after upgrading my pc in 2016, I continued using the source, what happens is that powercoler is no longer manufactured, but it was very good psu is your moment, in 2011 I had it measured by a technician I knew and they measured it to see the real watts and indeed it gave all the real values.

the generic one is a model Sure china from 2013 that i had on another pc, it was unused

This two psu is also within my reach

Gigabyte PSUs are known for catching fire. Corsair CV, although lowest model of all they make now, should suffice for your build if you can't find anything better.

From what i can get looking at those links in the first post you live in Spain, think lowest i would like to advice is this,

Hello, I'm not from Spain, I'm from Argentina, everything is very expensive in my country due to monetary devaluation and inflation, anyway, thank you very much, I bought the corsair cv550m now I'll see if the problem with gpu is solved, and if not, no matter, the important thing is that I needed a new and reliable source at a reasonable price, I close the thread.

 

[Andrew0889]

Hello, i have a problem with the evga gtx 570 hd 2.5gb, the gpu works fine, i can spend hours surfing the internet watching videos etc, but it crashes randomly when i run games, for example, when i'm playing Valorant and it crashes the half hour or the hour sometimes minutes, the same thing happens to me with project cars 3, I would like to know, if beyond the fact that the gpu is a discontinued model, it may be some controller or conflict with my other components.

Make and model of your power supply?
Its more likely an issue with your PSU, just because a GPU is discontinued (no longer in production) dosent mean it will cease to function properly.

Well, that's certainly not good news. Horribly cheap bit of junk, group-regulated not even really a 400W PSU. Hopefully it's the junk PSU finally dying rather than the result of the damage caused in the long-term by a junk PSU.

I clarify that I started using the gpu recently, it wasn't mine, they gave it to me and they told me they had the same problem, then it is the source, when I connect the corsair the problem should disappear???

It sure sounds like the PSU, probably is and a new one is a good idea based on the age(s) of the older ones, But
I'm just going to throw this out for you folks to discuss: It could be heat.
Try cleaning the pc with canned air, make sure the fan(s) spin on the video card when turned on, and the fan does work try opening the side of the case and directing a fan into the the case and towards the video card. If the video card fan isn't working you have found your problem.
