Windows 10: Graphics card compatibility

I see what you mean from your example, but true because a cheap model, as i never saw ones with this wattage have such lower amps. I had a Corsair once in older system 500W had 38A http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139027



What i meant from my first post here was another OP was suggesting an 800W PSU i said i thought that was too much and suggested less, as 600-650W, as i was not sure if you read that correctly at first. Before buying a new Video card most will look at requirements and make sure there system specs meet those requirements and one of those important ones it adequate wattage and amps. Other requirements being CPU as we have heard of the term bottlenecking.Not sure if this CPU will work well with AMD R9 270 http://ark.intel.com/products/39718/...-GTs-Intel-QPI


Look at mine at bottom, when see 500W requirements **** Read fine print below on that page.

Now, me and you both for one do not know much about this system, just what the CPU is and a motherboard Model number. Best if people can fill in all there specs here as best they can, especially when it comes to hardware questions and advice.

Always go bit above what you need for PSU to compensate for other hardware that you may have or may upgrade in future.
Always buy Gold,Bronze, Silver Plus certified PSU.

As said before with AMD Graphics Cards and NVIDIA Graphics Cards, AMD tends not to give enough information on requirements of power as NVIDIA Chipset cards do. As it always seems to take a lot more searching with AMD for any issues or to find out about there requirements and even this R9 270 needing 28 Amps and how correct this might be, but Guru3D is a good site.

I seem to like EVGA for NVIDIA cards i always had luck with there cards and i also prefer NVIDIA over AMD/ATI cards.
I have this card http://www.evga.com/products/Specs/G...1-49c3df7ed0b1

Not sure understand last question are you asking for thread starter or yourself. Looked on AMD/ATI site was limited PSU info, but other info for system requirements.Radeon™ R9 Series Graphics Cards | AMD

 

POwer marked on PSUs is just maximum peek power for short term usage, when picking a PSU of a good make and model, always over calculate by 25% to be on sure and safe side.
