[Akash_11]

CPU: i3-6100
GPU: Sapphire RX470 Radeon OC Edition 4GB
RAM: 4x2 GB DDR4
HDD: 2 TB @ 10000 RPM
SSD: 120 GB

don't want extra fan, CPU Overclock or DVD R/W

could anyone please help me to know what will be max power consumption possible with this spec
i already have 430 W PSU and 360 W output UPS.

P.S
Sapphire mentioned < 225 W
i had used PSU calculator but it always recommend much higher PSU !

thanks

Under 300W for sure. Your ups is fine. What's is your psu? If its high quality 430W it will be fine too.

I have the same card. Read the box: it says: PSU 500W min.

i think 500W safe for who using many accessories, i just want to use minimum possible.

It draws from the board and from the 8 pins connectors, and the Polaris is not a power hungry card but nonetheless it's still needs some. I think your PSU is not enough, under strain.

Change a few settings and this card can be quiet and fast:

I turned down the core in wattman - setting the highest power state to 1185 mhz and voltage to 1000. Put the memory up to 2200 and left the voltage as is.

Into Hitman Absolution benchmark, everything maxed, 8x msaa and fxaa on, v-sync off. Framerate is down from 69.1 to 67.4 compared to stock settings OC bios, but i can't see any difference. Power at the wall is down from 275w to 214w. Gamed for an hour+ and its awesome. Temps settle in at 75 but no throttling. The fans spin around 1000rpm and are whisper quiet.

also there is a big jump in performance between 460 and 470, but the difference between 470 and 480 is quite minor one (15-20%)
