Very quick PSU question

Keldalig · 28 Oct 2011 at 09:01

Hello all,

I'm just wondering: How big a power supply would i need to run this card well - MSI GeForce GTX 560Ti OC 2048MB GDDR5 Graphics Card? I can find the minimum wattage for the 1gb version of these cards but nothing on the 2gb.. This is my first time building a machine so your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks very much

Additional details: I was recommended buying "OCZ ZS 650w PSU" but I'm not sure that was intended to be used for a 2gb card. Would this be accceptable?

Yes it will be fine, the 2 gig card won't draw significantly more than a 1 gig anyway

Looking at the manual they list 1gb & 2gb as requiring a minimum of a 500w psu with a current rating of 30 amps.
With a "OCZ ZS 650w PSU you won't have any problems.

650 is fine, the minimum for this card is 500w (shown on various websites selling this card) or greater so 650 will be perfect for one of these.
