will this power run the card at least for idle till i purchase a decent one and it's probably going to be

XFX Pro Series Black Edition 850W PSU 80 Plus Gold

or something better , i just purchased the card and i know my current PSU will no run it at full , but i need to confirm if it is going to be running on idle or minimum gaming not too much

thanks

Are u asking if the card will run on 100% load with this XFX PSU?

If yes, then yes!

I'm sure it'll be ok @ stock clocks and voltage on the card. Also leave your cpu at stock until you can get the new psu.

The power supply is not going to blow up, your system will just shut down if the load is too much. Just FYI incase.

Stock everything, you'll be ok to run the system as normal.

But what if he lowers the mhz of the GPU? Then it should consume less power...

i'm really confused , will it work or not ?

I am sure it will. You are safe to go!

what CPU do you have?
i think that the PSU would be just OK, the R9 290x uses about 270w on the 12V rail

38A on +12v rail. enough for a stock R9 290X OC. but avoid voltage overclocking on CPU and GPU

intel core i7 4770K

Let say 140w to 104w + 290w of a r9 290x you would need 394 or 430w on the psu

i've already installed it and it runs great on load and it reachs 75c max on load (Sap vaporx 290x trix)

now what psu shall i buy next

pair in mind in the future as i'm planning to buy r9 390x and do dual gfx card on the case if it proved better quality

so what psu shall i buy nex for a crossfire ?

 

[PontiacGTX]

A 850W PSU for a 290X crossfire

I Cant talk about Bermuda,Fiji or the next incomign card in power consumption unless you think that the next gpu is hawaii with about 3500 sp and 340w power consumption
