HI guys,

I going to upgrade my pc and thus change my GPU.

I'm going from a 750Ti to an RX560, but I have a 350W PSU will be enough to add this GPU ? how do I know if I need to change it ?

 

P.S here's my config:

CPU: AMD Athlon II X4

MB: MSI A68HM P33 V2

MEMORY: HYPERX FURY 8Gb @1866mHz in dual channel

GPU; Zotac GTX 750Ti

PSU: CORSAIR 350W

RX 560 does not require external power like the 750 ti. You will be fine.

It should be fine because the 560 only needs PCI-e port power (75W).

350w will do it with those specs, as long as you don't overclock. but i would recommend minimum 430w psu

Trust me I had a logysis 480w PSU (Really, REALLY low end PSU) which was actually rated 330w and the 750 ti was fine for almost 3 years until i upgraded. Im sure that 560 would be fine.

 

BTW, are you sure you want to upgrade from a 750 ti to a 560, the difference will be like 10%... here is a video of an rx 460 which is 5% slower than a 560:

well i looked at the benchmarks and the score were higher (between 10 an 500 points) so i thaught it was okay...

You decide if it's worth it. I'd bump it up to at least an RX 570 or GTX 1060.
