Can a GTX 1070/60 run on a Corsair 450w 80+ white PSU?

as the title says, can a 1070 / 1060 graphic card run on a 450watt PSU?
i'm planning to buy one but dunno if they will be able to run on my rig

i5-4590

2tb hdd internal + 1tb external
450w 80+ Corsair PSU

80+ white? So it's a VS 450? Don't risk your high-end GPU with such a low-end PSU.

A 1070 will run on 450w in this sytem but it is not recommended.

I would not suggest below a TXM or RMX series
You want a decent 550W+ model so you have ample cables, especially for GPUs.

Unless it's some sort of 450W Gold/Platinum, I wouldn't waste time/money even looking at something that low-end.

no way i just bought the psu yesterday :(

they said it will be enough for 1060 and the official site says minimum 400w so i was confident in buying this psu, and the 1070 has minimum 500w so i was wondering if it can work on 450.. so its not good even though its corsair?

VS PSUs shouldn't be used in anything more then an office PC. VS PSUs are the cheapest, low-quality PSUs Corsair sells.

Sure you can put a 1060 or 1070 next to it. If you enjoy coil whine and the thrill of knowing that the PSU could go boom any moment that is.

Its not about Wattage but build quality. And low build quality have a tendency to breeak and with it burn faster when getting near to be maxed out. While they do that the mostly take your ahrdware withit and that is not just a nightmare story but something you see regularly in forums and youtube.
Same with efficiency rating. The rating like white silevr or golgd or even betetr has nothing to say about the build quality.

If you need a budget PSU with good build quality you should look at stuff like SeaSonic S12II or M12II. 520W or 620W which ever is cheaopest. They go between 30-40$ most of the time in the states.

All manufacturers sell low quality stuff. Because it is cheap.

[ugafan]

it will run. not as quiet or efficient as a more expensive psu, but it will work.

It's a 5.5 PSU, not 5 not 6, you can't say isn't enough to be bad you can't say it's enough to be good.
It's in the middle between trash pre-built PSU (better) and low end decent gaming PSU (worse) .

GTX 1060 yes, 1070 yes but not OC ed.

Corsair does build good stuff as fans, controllers and SP on but not PSU's. Especially because they don't build PSU at all. They just re-brand. All their good PSU's are from SeaSonic.
