Go to solution Solved by Curufinwe_wins,

did you find a spec sheet or review saying it would be fine with 40amps on a 12v rail? not that i don't trust you as a user, just that the store i am buying it at does not have a return policy after opening the product, and i don't want to have to go out and get a new case and psu if it doesn't.

40 Amps on a 12V rail is 480 W btw. The Fury x needs about 250-300 W and the rest of your system (assuming not running stupid amd cpu) should consume about 150-200 W. 

 

You might be ok. You might not. Personally I wouldnt risk it considering you have basically 0 headroom. 550 W would be a bit better, but personally I'd recommend 650W as a min.

so i am looking to buy a new gpu to put in my evga hadron air case, anyone know if the fury x can work on a 500w gold 40a psu? i have been searching through amd's site and the only thing i can find on the card from them is a bunch of marketing bull. I saw where reviewers said on stock it didn't go over 400w's but idk if the amps on a 12v rail is over 40.

A 500W power supply should be just fine.

did you find a spec sheet or review saying it would be fine with 40amps on a 12v rail? not that i don't trust you as a user, just that the store i am buying it at does not have a return policy after opening the product, and i don't want to have to go out and get a new case and psu if it doesn't.

No, but it takes the same amount of a power as a 290/X, which I've run on a 550W before without an issue.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Intel CPUs back in 2011 weren't much better >_>

 

I agree with you on the PSU though. 550-650w will give headroom yet won't be too overkill :P

980 ti is basically the same tdp...

Seriously if you are going to spend 650 dollars on a graphics card buy a better psu...

A 650 W psu would cost max 50 usd.

No they were not much better. But I didn't call amd cpus stupid 4 years ago. I called them stupid now.

980 Ti is about the same amount of power as the 290/X or Fury. 980 is less power but only somewhat better performance than a 290.

An overloaded power supply won't cause blue screens, if your power supply overloads you will lose all power without warning.

You could go always go with a 970, it's pretty kick ass.
