Question 1

Will this work with my 350w psu? I have 24gb Ram, Intel i7 3770 (3.4ghz) and 2TB hdd. Thanks.

Accepted Answer

For a single GeForce GTX 770, I would suggest a 700W psu minimum.  For my dual ZOTAC GeForce GTX 770 (in SLI) I have a 1000W psu.

If you have a quality 350W psu, it might support your system for a while, but you will greatly increase your risk of burning out your power supply.

Also note that the ZOTAC GeForce GTX 770 has 6-pin and 8-pin power connectors which both need to be plugged in for the card to function properly.  Your power supply will need to have both of those connectors.

If I were in your shoes, I would definitely spend a few extra bucks to get a beefy power supply to help protect the other more expensive system components.

Question 2

Can anyone please tell me if this card will work with a Dell XPS 7100?  I know I will have to upgrade the power supply.  Any info will be appreciated.  Thanks.

Hello Lee,

The card should work just fine (provided your Dell has a PCIe 16x port), however, check to make sure the card can physically fit in the case (these are a bit long) and yes you'll more than likely need to upgrade your PSU as stated.  Other than that you should be good to go.

Question 3

is it compatible with a Intel H87 mother board?  
thx in advance

Accepted Answer

Check to see if the motherboard in question has a PCIE x16 slot , if so I believe it will work fine , keep in mind it takes up two slots so if you have a card currently directly below this slot it may become unusable on a micro atx or small form factor board.

Question 4

Anyone use this on a 500W PSU?

Accepted Answer

Even though I can't directly answer you question, I am using two of these cards in SLI on a Corsair 850w PSU and only drawing 670w under max load from the wall.  A close friend of mine is running a GTX 780ti with a Intel Core i7 in a SFF build using a Silverstone 450w PSU with no problems.  So with that evidence i say as long as your 500w PSU has the correct connectors (6pin & 8pin) and heavy enough amperage rating on the 12 volt rail then you should have no problem running this card on a 500w PSU.

Question 5

Can I run two of these in SLI and have headroom to overclock CPU, RAM, etc? My power supply is Corsair AX 860i Platinum.

My RIG:

SLI GTX 770's
Gigabyte UD4H Z87 MB
Intel 4770k
Corsair H105 Water Coole
16GB Corsair Vengeance Pro 1600MHz Ram (4x4 Sticks)
4 Corsair Fans
2 SSDS

You should be more than fine running at stock, without question.

Overclocking however...really depends on the OC % and whether or not you're boosting the voltages.  Keep in mind, once you touch the voltage your power draw can shoot up fast.

If you stick to a mild OC, possibly sticking with either stock or as close to stock as possible voltages, then you shouldn't have any issues.  Plenty of Amps on that 12v.

Hope this helps, good luck.
