Will a 750 watt PSU be able to power the Radeon Pro Duo?

[johnny]

It says on the specification sheet that it uses 350 watts of typical board power. In addition to this, I am currently using a 6700k with 16GB of DDR4. Will 750 watts be enough? Thank you for your help.

what brand/model?

diablotek or thermalte no way
seasonic or xfx yes

It's a Corsair RM 750

rm 750 isnt horrible, but will be more than enough for it

why not wait for the next gen gpus they should be out this summer

Do you already have this power supply or are you planning on upgrading to the RM750?

As far as output goes, it should be enough. I would not recommend overclocking anything with an RM PSU.

The RM750 uses cheap china-made caps that are not very good in many areas, specifically reliability.

I would suggest a different, better PSU if you do not already have the RM750.

No, sadly the RM 750 is currently in my system at the moment. Based on the Amazon reviews, it didn't seem too bad on the surface. If I'm forking out almost 2k for a GPU(s) I'm going to need it to work day one with no issues, so I'm just hoping this power supply will be able to handle a card such as this.

I'll consider doing that

It'll handle any single CPU & GPU combo that I can think of... as long as it is in working order. Just wouldn't recommend overclocking on it.

Reviews are good to look at but should be taken with a grain of salt.

Are you wanting to use 2 GPUs? If so, this may pose an issue... what are the specs of your PC? What specific GPU are you looking to get? How many of these GPUs are you wanting to run?

Yeah, the Radeon Pro Duo is two Fury X's in crossfire. Currently in my system is a 6700k and 16GB of DDR4 @ 2400Mhz. On the specifications for the card it states it only runs 350 watts of on board power, however, I don't know if that power is being drawn from it just being idle or being maxed on a game or something intensive.

It should be safe to assume it's 2x the power of a single Fury X. Just see what the max draw is from one of those cards and double it. It would be a safe guideline as to what you might expect from the Fury Pro Duo.

I somehow misread the post and thought you just put Radeon GPU as a general statement or something.

Specifications should be taken with a grain of salt. A single Fury X is a power hog, so it would be safe to assume that 2 on the same PCB would be similar to two seperate cards.

In that case, you'll be pushing around 700-750 watts... which the RM750 would not be able to deliver, because you won't get close enough to full output.

I recommend a PSU upgrade along with the GPU upgrade. Refer to the guide I previously linked to find a decent brand/model. Get something that has a high rated wattage output and a high 80 Plus rating, like gold or plat.

You are pushing a lot of juice with that GPU and you need the PSU to supply it. Take PSU wattage ratings with a grain of salt... even the 80 Plus rating. Pushing a PSU to full load all the time is not recommended.

its not the same as 2x fury x (dual cards) as it has the dual fury gpu setup in a power saving design expected to be at 350w (according to amd) 1 fury x alone is 275w.. if this card stays true to specs and is 350W max tbp a 750W power supply of good brand will be fine..

I haven't followed AMD for the last little bit, but if what you say about it being dual fury's with a power saving design... then yeah, his PSU should be enough.

I'd still recommend a PSU change eventually, due to them Ltec caps.

Just decided to look up that Radeon Pro Duo... and yeah, the OP is misinformed. It is not dual Fury X chips like he thinks and you are probably correct.... though, I am seeing conflicting claims of power consumption. It seems to take three 8-pin connectors to power it... so I'm kind of skeptical of the low power consumption claim.

yeah i see the ops post now... yeah if it stays 350 tbp your fine if it is in fact 500w or something like that not so fine.. keep in mind the amd measurements for these cards (furyx,fury duo) have quietly been replaced with tbp instead of tdp which is typical board power which is average power consumption (similar to real time/avg power consumption istead of max peak power)

edit: also tbp is under load measurement

Yeah I thought these were two full Fury X cards in crossfire, my mistake there. Worst comes to worst I'll just upgrade the power supply, it's not that big of a deal. Thank you all for your help.
