GTX 260 PSU

[Gameborn]

I have Zotac gtx 260(i i know it's very old, just want to experiment. Also i have old 450w psu with only one 6pin connector, while gpu requires 2. Is it safe to connect one 6pin from psu and one with 2 molex to 6 pin?

You could try to do that but the minimum power supply for a 260 (according to its specs) is 500w so you might run into some issues.

For testing purposes, it should be ok.  @toasty6776 PSU requirements from manufacturers are almost always wrong.

I know. I just didn't want him to set his hopes too high.

They always overestimate power supply figures on the official specs. More realistic total system power draw would be only about 300-350 under full load.

If you already have all the components and they're not worth a whole lot to you, doesn't hurt to give it a try.
