Hi guys,

I want to buy this graphic card for gaming purposes. (https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-RX460WF2OC-4GD#sp)
When i look at the system requirements it says i need a 350W Power Supply and mine is only 320W.
Does this mean I cant use this Graphics card?
And if not is there some good graphics Card for my power supply?

Thanks in advance!!!!

What's the brand and model of the power supply unit?

What are your complete system specifications?

Well it is an Office PC that i´m trying to upgrade.
(https://support.hp.com/ph-en/document/c02779499#AbT1)<<<< That is the PC
Cpu: Intel core i3-2120
Power Supply: HP Model: CFH0320EWWA 320W
Motherboard: Don´t know.
Ram: 10GB

That 320W power supply is definitely enough to handle the GIGABYTE GV-RX460WF2OC-4GD card.

There should also be one 75-Watt 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connector available on that 320W power supply unit.

Another card that you can also consider is the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti. It performs much better than the Radeon RX 460.

Why does it say on their website that i need 350 W?
I was searching in the first place for a GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, but i found this one much cheaper.

Just one more Question. I was loooking at the pictures of Radeon RX460 WINDFORCE OC 4G and it has no 6-Pin connector. I guess it takes the power from the PCI-E port,

AMD's System Power Supply Requirements for a single AMD Reference Design Radeon RX 460
• AMD specifies a minimum of a 400 Watt or greater system power supply. (Minimum system power requirement based on a PC configured with an Intel Core i7 3.2GHz 130 Watt TDP processor.)
• the system power supply must also have a maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 21 Amps or greater

Sufficient Total Combined Continuous Power/Current Available on the +12V Rail(s) is the most critical specification.

The Intel Core i3-2120 processor is only a 65 Watt TDP processor so you can reduce the +12V current requirements by 5 Amps.

The GIGABYTE GV-RX460WF2OC-4GD draws all of its power through the PCI-E x16 slot.
