what is your PSU ? there's a huge possibility it will not work as it's supposed to, it may even wont be able to boot at all.
'Generic' PSU's are generally in the range of 250-300 watts, 12-18 12v amps. So I would say no, it would definitely not work on something like that.
i still remembered that time,, still a noob.. plugged in a 7800gt, my psu blew up.. a good thing that nothing else got burned.. I hope the same thing doesnt happen to the TS, as he isnt replying anything...
I think none of the manufaturers have 250 or 300 watts in market today, bare minimum is 400 or 450 watts, So if your processor is not overclocked, you cn try booting the card along with power cable convertors for your card
"Generic" has nothing to do with the power output. "Dynex" and "Rocketfish" are "generic" PSU brands and can be found in ratings of upwards of 900watts. Rocketfish 700watt PSU: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Rocketf...pply/8800693.p?id=1206141490850&skuId=8800693 Rocketfish 900watt PSU: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Rocketf...pply/9362049.p?id=1218091959258&skuId=9362049 There are still 250-300watt PSU's in the market. Dell, Gateway, HP/Compaq...all still use 250-300watt PSUs.
That's what I figured he was getting at. Someone who bought their own PSU would likely know more about it, I was assuming he was dealing with a stock prebuilt's PSU.
hell no but actually my mate was running a gtx 295 on a stock psu but he was usong for gaming im suprised that the psu didnt explode haha
The 700 and 900watt units I linked to in my last post, won't actually output 700 and 900watts, but the manufacturer relies on customers' lack of knowledge to sell them. So, knowing the brand name and rated output, doesn't really mean anything.
