To handle a MSI 460GTX 1GB

not sure on the brand but on the side it says...

It's a 450-500w psu i think

says output 12v 27a
+5v 29a
+3.3v 18a
-12v 0.3a
 
Whats the rest of your system? Also can you defo not find out the brand ?, 450-500watt is plenty if your only running a gfx card, but I assume its plugged into a mainboard along with a lot of other componants ;) :p

Yeah if you could list the rest of your system and also if your overclocking or not.
 
i wouldnt

- unbranded psu's arent reliable enough to supply the rated power

- running a semi-decent card needs a reputable power supply

:)
 
I would not try it, all that counts for most people is the 12v and 27x12 = 324 (If I am doing it right) Nvidia recommends 450w for the graphics card with a full system.
No name psu brands often add up the wattage available from all voltages.

If i am wrong please feel free to correct me.
