T1600 with Nvidia GTX650 Power requirements.
I have acquired a Dell Precision T1600 which I intend to use purely for the Zwift cycling / training application. I have also acquired a graphics card as follows;
www.gigabyte.com/.../product-page.aspx
Gigabyte Nvidia Geforce GTX650
According to the specifications for this graphics card, a 400W System PSU is required;
www.geforce.co.uk/.../specifications
However, the above also says that the card has a maximum draw of 64W (I believe the card slot in the T1600 can supply up to 75W).
If I then go to the "eXtreme Power Supply Calculator";
outervision.com/power-supply-calculator
And enter all the system specifications including the new graphics card, the recommendation is 288W (the T1600 I have has the standard 265W PSU fitted)
So, do I need a 400W PSU, and if so, which do DELL recommend?
