Can my PSU cope with this GPU?
I have a 600 W PSU. I'm considering a GPU that on paper needs 680 W. But, I also have a PCI-E 1.x slot while this card is PCI-E 2.0, as most new cards are. This alone will reduce the cards capacity, and therefore power consumption, and so I'm wondering if I can still get it without my rig collapsing? My CPU will probably also hold it back a bit, I'm not sure how much though.
The reason I'm getting a card I can't fully use is that I'm going to need an upgrade on my CPU/mainboard/PSU in a while anyway and when that time comes I want my GPU to still be kinda good. |
