Would a 750W PSU be ok for a GTX 780

[Peppered]

I have a older Seasonic 750w PSU that I wondered if it would be good enough for a GTX 780 that I won't over clock. This would be for my wife I have the 780 and a 2560x1440 27" monitor I want her to use for photo shop. If the PSU will not work I will just let her use the GTX 680 and make due.
I will keep the 780 for my new 144hz Eizo Monitor, if the old PSU wont drive it.

Would be fine for a single card.

Sure see the specs in my rig 2 below. Using an Antec Gamer 750 Watt with 3770k OC'd to 4.5Ghz and an EVGA GTX780 Classified. PLENTY of power.

It would actually be fine for two.

To be clear to the OP, though, there will be no benefit to using a 780 over a 680 solely for Photoshop.

It may depend on the actual model of cards too no?

Even overvolted with a big overclock, my previous 780 only pulled about 260w from the wall. At reference clocks it drew 200w with a gaming load. I assume a photoshop load will be less taxing.

How old is older? Should be fine but power supplies do tend to degrade with time.

 

[DigDog]

also, does she have the 8 pin cpu connector? older psu might not have it.

 

[KaRLiToS]

More than enough

 

[janii]

even 450w is enough

 

[ashenburger]

As other have said you will be fine with the 750W psu. I have one and run a mildly overclocked 780 on it.

 

[KaRLiToS]

even 450w is enough

Hahaha, for people who want to run stock clocks with i3

Doubt it. Perhaps with a pair of lower TDP cards though.

Agreed. No point at all. Adobe CS does have video card optimizations, but not where you're going to see much difference between a 100 dollar video card and a 700 dollar video card.

my overclocked 780 ti sli/4770k setup barely breaks 600 watts at peak. People tend to over estimate power needs of hardware.
