Will a gtx 750Ti run on 280W and 16A t the 12V?

[EagleStrike007]

Hi,

I have a lenovo h50-50 with an i7 4790, i would like the to upgrade the current video card(gt 705) to a gtx 750Ti.

I run this PSU. It's 280W with 16 Amps at 12V rail

Yes but check that it doesn't need a 6 pin connector

It's ok, also there's a variant of your pc with a 750Ti which uses the same PSU

[EagleStrike007]

Well... if you install it yourself you're going to void your warranty, although it's haswell, so probably doesn't matter as it's probably around 2 years old or more.

@79 Potatoes As long as my pc doesn't explode, i'm happy

But i dont rlly know if there is some kind of protection if my PSU cant handle it

you won't void a warranty adding a psu.

 

 

You have more than enough power, it will work fine.

All psu's will shutoff cleanly if you pull to much power(you won't do that though). The quality is fine, there normally put pretty good psu' in prebuilds

@Electronics WizardyWhy does Nvidia sais that it needs 300W then?

I was talking about the whole pc, at least where I live they're pesky enough to put stickers near side panels

It won't, just a side note, if you're buying a NEW (not used) 750 Ti just go for a 1050 Ti. You should only worry about your PSU if you pick a more power hungry GPU, like a GTX 1060/RX 480.

@Electronics WizardyWill this one do the job? https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125800

@79 PotatoesI dont have a sticker there, and the 1050 consumes 15W more, so isnt it starting to push the limits of my PSU?

you have more than enough power. I have ran a rx480 and a phenom ii x6 1090t on a 280w just fine.

 

Get the 1050 or 460 ro 470.

@Electronics WizardyI need a low profile card then, and in my country it cost more than my budget is, the 750Ti is still under my budget, so i will go for that i think

looking at pictures of that computer online, you don't need a low profile gpu. Any normal gpu will work fine.

They draw about the same power

I measured it, and i will need a low profile one, if i disconnect my dvd/cd writer, will it reduce consumption by much?

 

[Blebekblebek]

I don't think you understand what Low profile means

 

Top Normal bracket

Bottom Low profile.

 

And is this your computer?

[EagleStrike007]

@Blebekblebeki understand, but the card i found has normal bracket, but isnt as wide as a normal one

As @Blebekblebek said, I don't think you know what low-profile means.

 

Your FSP PSU is enough for a 750Ti or 1050 Ti.

Well if you bought LP GPU then how you going to attach it to your motherboard?

GPU size is standard for all case, if you meant LENGTH then I understand.

@STRMfrmXMN  Why doed nvidia state that i atleast need 300W is that to be ultra safe?
