I'm about 80% sure it does.

It has the two PCI-e connectors.

Just thought I'd double check.

Would that also mean that I wouldn't be able to have anything else in the PCI slots though?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

yes. its ample.

as to the pci slots adjacent to the pci-e slots, it depends on the width of the card. some preclude adjacent slots, some dont. There's always the option of moving the adjacent card away from the pci-e slot if you have slots free. If not you could consider a usb or other external alternative to one of the cards in the machine.

Answer 2

200W for the computer.

Add 100W for each Video Card,

25W for each HD (?)

I'd say a 500W PSU with good efficiency and current on the rails will handle any single-GPU setup.

Answer 3

The video card is a PCI Express card.

Make sure you have the correct PSU installed and the PCI Express power connector is connected.

If this is not connect either your PCI express video Card will not work or it will work for a while but your mother board will fail due to the increase current through the Main Power Bus - You will likely have capacitor failures on your motherboard without the OCI Express power connector connected.

Good luck

Answer 4

Save yourself a few bucks and buy this one. Same brand with 50 more watts and has a $30 MIR ! Oh and yes it will run that card.

Answer 5

Yep. That PSU will support that video card and more, if it lives up to its ratings.

Answer 6

Yes it will but it just makes it.

My advice is get a bigger one.

Because that PSU will be working 100% all the time.

Which means it will break easier.

Its is very important to have headroom.

When working with power you must have 25% headroom at least.
