Required Power supply for ATI 5770

[indrashis95]

Can I run my XFX ATI 5770 GDDR5 1GB with a iBall or Imego 500W PSU???
My system spec is
AMD P2 X4 945 3.0Ghz
Gigabyte GA-MA785GMT-US2H
2GB OCZ DDR5 RAM
500GB HDD Cegate

Well I haven't heard of the, but you should be fine. The 5770 doesn't need much juice. Just about any 500W power supply can run it.

Yes, you can.

500W is plenty for that setup, and would suffice even if you did some moderate overclocking.

Should be fine, as with a modern system it'd do well on a solid 350W PSU. I'd recommend replacing your PSU some time in the future, though. I've never even heard of those brands, I'd hate to think about their quality.

He's in India, so he doesn't have the same access to Euro/American brands. iBall could be alright.

cards pull 215watts as I have observed at max with no overclock and will yank down nearly 300 with overclocking.

nah

"ATI rates the Radeon HD 5770 for 18W of power consumption at idle and 108W maximum board power at load. The Radeon HD 5750 is even lower at 16W idle and 86W under load."

just make sure the PSU can do preferably like 350w 12v and you should be fine. under occt psu tester (cpu/gpu full load) my friend 5770 + phenom 2 965 BE pulled up to 312w at the wall, so like 285w~ on the psu all in all. give it some overhead of course for stability if you can. idk whats available in india though as far as quality PSUs or specs all in all. if the 500w unit you're looking at is rated well enough, i would say you should be okay

mine draws 200 after a long run time.

 

[faxon]

you talking just the card, or the whole system?

 

[tweakboy]

Get a 550 or 600wattage.

make shure it has at least 2 rails, ok, good luck gg and gb

 

[Lonyo]

With no-name PSUs like the ones you have mentioned, I would be uncertain.
A decent 400w PSU would have no problems (e.g. the Corsair CX400), but even at 500w, with some random off brand you might have problems.
It's better to focus on getting something that is definite quality rather than getting something which claims to be high wattage but probably isn't going to be as good.

For the whole system maybe, not just the videocard.

I advise you to NOT buy those POS PSU's which are made using cheap components and only make money due to buyers ignorance.

The best option in India is a corsair 450vx.

The card can draw 75W through the PCI-e slot. Add 75W from the six-pin PCI-e connector, and you get an absolute MAXIMUM of 150W.

As as demonstrated by xbit, it never goes over 110W.

The question for the OP is what capacity does the PSU have on the 12V rails?
