My PC 750w power supply. I play war thunder with this card while it will automatic shut down and restart. Messag: "anti-surge". Not Enough power? WHY?

Hi, not really sure what your problem is but i will advise you contact Gigabyte support. I'm using it with a 1100w power supply and never came to such an error

what's the certification on your power supply? (80+ bronze, silver, gold, etc..), 750 should be more than enough by far, but if the power supply unit is sketchy then it could be not performing anywhere near what it theoretically should be. also, anti-surge could be related to your electrical setup, what do you have the tower plugged into? does it trip the circuit breaker or does only your tower shut off?

You need a new PSU, the one you have is garbage. Not all PSUs are made the same, and all the efficiency certifications are garbage and mean nothing. PSU manufacturers submit "golden samples" for certification, and there is no follow by 80Plus to make sure that the production ones are even close to the wattage or efficiency that they claim on the box. Corsair PSUs always exceed the box numbers and ratings, and there are a few other good ones. Find one you want from here: http://www.jonnyguru.com/index.php

si no es certificada el voltaje puede girar por la mitad dependiendo del tiempo en uso recomiendo evga 1000watts sin problema croosfire

I would guess it is probably your power supply. Try putting in a different one and see if that solves the problem.

750 Watt should be plenty!!! You may have a bad power supply and it may need to be replaced that happened to be before. I have an tx 850 corsair power supply and I run 2 of the r9 290x crossfire, 2 ssd, 3 hard drives, i5 2500k oc 4.7 ghz, sound card and a ton of other stuff. Hope this helps

the best solution to this is to get Msi afterburner and set the board power limit to +50 and save the profile. Check the box at the bottom that says "apply over clock at start up" and reboot. I have an 850w supply and it's all good. Remember the card is oc out of the box and type computer might my limiting the card.

I have a 750W PSU, mainly because I plan on getting another one of these. I bought it on TigerDirect because Amazon couldn't ship it. This GPU is rather awesome. As far as I know, with one of these, I use about ~350W of the 750W PSU.

I'm not an expert on PC power requirements, but after 15 years of building and repairing PCs, I can say with certainty that the power supply can be the most finicky part of the computer. I'm not saying that it is what is causing your issues, but I've seen similar problems with power supplies in the past. It can also just be your power supply dying and it's only a coincidence that the symptoms decided to manifest after you switched to a new video card. My advice is to try to troubleshoot it as best you can. Perhaps underclock the new card to see if the problem disappears. Or if possible put back in your old card to see if the problem remains the same. If it does, it will definitely let you know something else is going on.

Its a 500 watt power supply you could probably google it. It shouldnt have much effect espically if you are already running a desktop.

I am using a 650wattt power supply. The card needs a power source other than the mainboard.

I had to bump up my power supply to a 750, it was a 450w, but you should have no issues. fyi, it consumes 4 power connectors, so you may need adapters if you dont have 4 available.

Hey Ronel, I have a 750 watt power supply that I am using with this card. However, a standard power supply one with no less than 350 watts should be enough to run the card with no problems. I would recommend getting a 400 to 450 watt power supply if you will be using this card for gaming.

It is recommended that you use a 400 watt power supply by AMD, but in reality all this is for is to save themselves from hearing about defective cards from users that may have cheap or low end power supplies. I have one of these running in my secondary rigs with a 300 watt power supply without any issues what so ever. Though 300 Watts is as low as I would go.

The wattage of the card is 95WI would double check your wattage but just from that info I can calc 404w for the full system.I would look into getting a larger PSU. I always over shoot my systems on wattage.

Just check your space for the card. This is a physically imposing card which corrects direct to your power source, so also be sure you have existing power lines off your power supply to enable easy hook up. If you don't have the line in place, you can hook it up of course, it just takes more playing around. But the main issue is simply fitting the card in your case. Good luck. We do love its performance.

I just purchased this card and it requires a minimum 300 Watt PS with a minimum of 20A on the 12 volt rail. This is based on a newer core-i7 processor. I have an older core-i7 and my card seems to be working ok with 18A on my 12 v rail. I am only running One monitor at the moment, but I will have to watch during heavy gaming if my PC crashed or reboots. If It does than I will need to update my Power supply.

I dont believe it plugs right into the PSU but it does recommend a 330w power supply which could cause the card to short out earlier in its life. It should be fine but You never know. It's a decent video card too.

460 might be low.The card has two power leads,I'm using 1000 which is overkill but what the heck.

Technically, it should be higher, but it may still work well. There was some sort of incompatibilty between my card and PC (wasn't able to determine the cause), so I traded with a friend. He's now running it on a higher-end medium performance pc with only a 350w psu and it's working perfectly for him. Granted, he only buys high quality brand psu.

It's pretty easy on power. I've got mine in an AMD A4-based system (no dedicated GPU), on a 380 watt power supply. Ceton says the card maxes out at 14 watts. I can't seem to find any details on the specs for the power supply in your Dell, unfortunately. Worst case, you might have to replace the power supply, but if they used an ATX standard and no crazy proprietary connections, it would be a simple drop-in replacement.

The required power supply for this type of card is minimum 800w (espesially if you plan to overclock) with 2power cables dedicated for this video card, so make sure the number of power outlets from the supply is enough for all you other components (ie DVD drive, hard drive, ect) good luck

It doesn't put a load on the device. If you want a load, you can leave the rest of the devices connected so that you're only missing the mobo, but of course, that would be like testing water with your big toe; nowadays the mobo and graphics cards are the main power draw on the system. Therefore, the only true test is to plug in a known good psu and check out the system performance. I'm assuming you bought this device to test more than just your own psu, so you're probably a computer tech and you'd have other psu's available. This is what you'd do if your graphics card was suspect -- replace it with a known good card.
