Which pin connection does a power supply unit need to operate the RX580 graphics card properly?

So which connections in the power supply is required for RX580 graphics card? Because I'm afraid my AMD graphics card is not connected to all Pinkabel and therefore minecraft shader mod almost always runs under 100FPS.

Depends on the model. Some need two 6-pin, some an 8-pin, some even a 6-pin and an 8-pin.

If your graphics card were not connected to an 8 or 6pin, your PC would not start.

The various power supply options for a graphics card are the allowable outputs as follows.

PCI-Express 8x or 16x slot - max 75Watt

PCI-Express power connector 6 + 2 pin

at 6 pin = 75W per connection (2 pins unused or not available)

at 6 + 2 pin = 150W per connection

An Rx 580 can require up to 200W under load.

So in addition to the PCI Express slot

2x 6 pins or 1x 6 + 2 pins required

The most common configuration for cards is the additional 6 + 2 pin connector.

OK. I think it is only connected with 1x 6 pin. Could it mean that I do not achieve the best performance?

Ju

I think my graphics card is only connected to 1x 6Pin on the power supply.

Ju

I think my graphics card is only connected to 1x 6pin power supply.

With too little electricity I would rather expect crashes. In general, you should always operate the graphics card with a correspondingly powerful power supply.

I don't know how much MC's performance is affected.

Ju

OK. So the PC hasn't crashed even once. Will I still get more performance if I operate with a better power supply?

el

I don't know how much MC's performance is affected.

Ju

So with the Shader Mod I rarely get 100FPS. Mostly between 20 and 70 FPS.

Ce

There are some with 6pin and there are some with 8pin.

Va

Well, if it only has 1 6-pin and it's in there everything fits.

Ju

Well my friend said that my graphics card still needs a pin connection.

Va

Where should he put it in? Your model runs with a 6-pin. That's it. If you needed more power, you would need an 8-pin or two 6-pin connectors.

Ju

Yes, then I fear that my power supply for graphics card needs 2x 6 pin connection.

Va

Thought she only had one? How exactly is the model name of your RX580?

Ju

So I use exactly this graphics card:

In the description there are 1x 6-pin and 1x 8-pin. You should also see that if there's a connector for an 8-pin. It only works with the one 6-pin, but then the graphics card can't work properly. So just plug in an 8-pin if your power supply has it, if not, new power supply, adapters are not recommended.

Ju

And that's why the Shader Mod doesn't work so well? And no other 8pin connector unfortunately has my power supply. Although it has 8pin, it is unfortunately occupied by some other component. Which power supply can you recommend? My friend recommends be quit power supply.

Va

I don't know if that has anything to do with the mod. The only thing that is certain is that the graphics card can't clock as high as it could.

The Pure Power 11 from bequiet! Is super. Good efficiency with 80+ gold, modular, quiet and has four 6 + 2-pin connectors. I recommend the 600W version so that you have enough power for later better graphics cards.
