Hi, here is a picture of my CWT 500W Power Supply:

I have this PSU for 6 years already, and it has been working great with my GeForce GT520 GPU,
But now I want to upgrade my GPU to GTX 1050Ti. I'm wondering if it would be good enough?

I read that 500W should be enough, But I know CWT is considered an unreliable PSU company.
However, so far this PSU was doing a good job with the GT520. Do you think it would be good with the GTX 1050Ti too?

And Also, do I have enough amps in my PSU for the 1050Ti? Because I see I have only 18 amps on the 12V+ Rail

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

does it have a 6-pin pcie cable?


that psu has two 12v rails at 18amps each, so IF its specs are accurate (...

that psu has two 12v rails at 18amps each, so IF its specs are accurate ( cheap ass psu's DO LIE ) it should work

you can simply get a gtx 1050 ti that requires no additional pcie cables for power, they are ~75w cards ( ~6 amps)
