Will GTX 750-750 TI work on 280 W power supply and PCIE 2.0?

Hello!
Will GTX 750-750 TI work on 280 W power supply and PCIE 2.0?
is there any risks?
TY

Hi Newbie-asker,

1) The minnimum recommended requirement on the GTX 750ti site is 300w. Can you tell us exactly what PSU you have?

2) It will work on a PCIe 2.0 slot just fine.

Hi Newbie-asker,

1) What power supply exactly?

Stock Fujitsu power supply
PC: Fujitsu Esprimo P420 E85+

A GeForce GTX 750ti needs 20 amps on the 12v+ rail and a 350 watt to 400 watt power supply , some 750ti's need 1 additional 6 - pin PCIE power but most are powered by just the slot.

PCIE Slot don't matter.

Ok what CPU is in it? This makes a huge difference as to how many watts you will need.
In theory you need a 300W PSU (350 to 400W sounds way over the top), however I know of people running them just fine on a 250W PSU as they have low powered dual core processors.
Also I find the following interesting as the test computer is an i7 4770k and the watts is for WHOLE system http://www.techspot.com/review/783-geforce-gtx-750-ti-vs-radeon-r7-265/page11.html

It also depends on the OTHER components in the system especially the CPU.

If a graphics card doesn't have a 6-pin connector it's using less than 75W of power maximum. If your CPU used say, 100W, then you're now using 175W plus some other things in the system (like fans) so let's say 200W worst-case (on the 12V rail plus a bit more for other voltages).

Now your PSU specs aren't detailed enough but usually the 12V rail uses well over 90% I believe so that's well over 200W available.

Having said that, many cheaper PSU's don't like to be pushed near their maximum so it's hard to say.

Summary:
That's a long-winded way of saying "probably" but I don't recommend it. My advice is look for a 430W PSU (minimum) which has a 6-pin PCIe connector then buy a reasonably good card like the GTX750Ti Asus version and overclock it.

See pcpartpicker to compare cards and power supplies.

Ok, the i3 is only really a low powered dual processor too. If that PSU of yours is of reasonable quality, and I know nothing of fujitsu computers and the quality of PSU they use, but if it's reasonable then I'm sure you could run a GTX 750Ti.
If it turns out they use cheap crappy PSUs in their computers, then you would be best to replace it.

The power supplies used at Fujitsu PC's is made by the same manufacturer (Fujitsu)

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

The power supplies are poor quality.

 

[Newbie-asker]

Okay how good HP (Hewellt Packard) power supply with 300 W?
is it enough for GTX 750 Ti?

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Hp power supplies are usually decent.

Hey guys i decided to buy new power supply and GPU
here is links below:
Power supply: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00H33SFJU?psc=1&redir...
GPU:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I6DLIB8?psc=1&redir...
is this power supply and GPU good enough?

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

It's a fair power supply , can easily run the card.
