    Will this PSU power a GTX460 768MB??

    I currently have a Shuttle SD37P2 with the 450W PC55 PSU:

    http://www.shuttle.eu/products/xpc-accessories/pc55/?0=

    The PSU has three 12V lines which are rated at 17A,17A and 15A. I wonder if this PSU is sufficient with a GTX460 786MB??

    I currently use an HD4830 512MB and have had a 8800GTS 512MB before in the computer with no issues.

    The computer has a Q6600 at stock speeds,4GB of DDR2 and a pair of SATA hard disks and an IDE DVD rewriter.

    Re: Will this PSU power a GTX460 768MB??

    Yup no problem. Just look at the power consumption tests and whole systems are getting about 250W under full load, even if the rest of the system drew exactly 0W that'd only need 20A from the PCI-E slot and 2x12v rails.

    I second that, should be no problem. There are a couple of sites I know of which try to measure the power consumption for gpus only instead of the entire system, which I find extremely useful when working out psu requirements especially if they use more than one +12V rail.

    A couple of links:
    http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Z...0_1_GB/29.html
    http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/vid...0_6.html#sect0

    From those results, the GTX460 can use up to 141W when stressed, and doing some simple math:
    141W / 12V = 11.75A needed on the +12V rail

    So your Shuttle PSU should handle it with room to spare.

    Please note that graphics cards get power via the motherboard as well as the 6/8pin connectors
    So the load from a graphics card is generally spread between multiple rails any way.

    Also most psu's are not truely independent rails, the rails are often cross linked within the psu.
    What this often means is that it's using Schottky rectifying diodes in parallel rather than in series (normal for single rail psu's)
    Alot will depend on what is actually going on inside the PSU.

    Thanks for the replies! I will need a molex to PCI-E power connector as the PSU only has PCI-E power connector.

    Re: Will this PSU power a GTX460 768MB??

    I was thinking of getting the Palit GTX460 768MB as it has a shorter PCB.

    However,there seems to be a GTX460 with a single PCI-E power connector:

    My 2GB card came with one 2xmolex to PCIe power cable (and a driver cd, bit of a bare package!).

    Re: Will this PSU power a GTX460 768MB??

    My MSI Cyclone came with 2 Molex > PCI-E adapters.

    I felt rather privileged.
    Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
    CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
    TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

    Re: Will this PSU power a GTX460 768MB??

    I personally wouldn't reconmend using a random or cheap brand PSU to power anything if you want use it for gaming,i would reconmend getting the corsair 400w minimum if you want power the GTX460 768mb,the psu can be bought for £30 or something and as you can see i am running my GTX460 with the 400w corsair psu i am using the 6pin that is attatched to my psu already and one 2 molex to 6pin but i will soon upgrade psu to a better one.

    The Shuttle PSUs are proprietary units made for their SFF barebones systems. They tend to be based on server PSUs IIRC and they are not cheap either.

    Re: Will this PSU power a GTX460 768MB??

    Read this and it reminded me of something ... this.

    They used a HD5870 plus core i7 980x plus prime95 and furmark with a sizeable overclock. It did cutout, but then they moved to a lower overclock plus IntelBurn Test alongside Prime95 and FurMark and it ran it fine for 24 hours.

    So since your SFF psu is 450w and has similar ampage to the unit they used (and as your's is a shuttle is probably half decent) maybe we could assume it would handle what you propose!? Their experiment might give you hope at least anyway haha.

    Just curious, did you get this to work yet? How did you wire up the two 6-pin PSU connectors on the 460? I have a SD37p2 also with upgraded 450W PSU (old one died after 3.5 years) and thought about getting this card.

    I have not got the card yet as I decided to get an HD6850 1GB in the next few months. The HD6850 1GB only needs a single PCI-E power connector and has similar performance to a GTX460 1GB AFAIK. However,I am waiting for the price of the HD6850 1GB to drop.

    Re: Will this PSU power a GTX460 768MB??

    If you look at the hexus article http://www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=27053&page=1 it seems that depending on resolution, the 460 1gb can actually be equal to a 6870. At 1080p, the 460 seems the best for the money.

    For a shuttle though, I think you may be right in opting for team red, even with the Fermi redesign, the chips seem a litle too power-hungry when compared to AMDs 5 and 6 series.

    Re: Will this PSU power a GTX460 768MB??

    For a shuttle though, I think you may be right in opting for team red, even with the Fermi redesign, the chips seem a litle too power-hungry when compared to AMDs 5 and 6 series.
    The bog standard GTX460 1GB cards are around the speed of an HD6850 1GB whereas the overclocked ones seem closer to an HD6870. However,it seems that an HD6850 1GB can be overclocked to around 900MHZ to 960MHZ for the GPU and almost all HD6850 1GB cards use a single PCI-E power connector. The ones with a pair of PCI-E power connectors seem to hit around 1GHZ for the GPU.

    Anyway, the HD6850 1GB still needs to drop a bit in price IMHO as you could get them for under £135 at launch. Hopefully,by the time Crysis 2 is released the HD6850 1GB will be in the £100 to £120 price range.

    I wonder if I can run an HD5850 1GB or HD6870 1GB off my PSU??
