r7 250 needs a 380W psu. Not that the Dell would've been good quality anyway.

Get as good a one as you can afford - http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html#13224310

i7Baby :

but my budget is fixed...................

You might be able to squeeze in a GTX 750 Ti, depending on your budget:

~$130-160 and requires no additional power from the PSU (it uses the 75w from the PCI-e slot)
Link to 750 Ti's

This is assuming you have a PCI-e slot to put the GPU in. Do you have this slot on your Mobo?

I'm not sure what your budget is, but you might consider doing at least a PSU upgrade too. It all depends on your budget for this upgrade.

i7Baby · May 27, 2014

Or a cheaper gtx750 (non Ti)

lunyone · May 27, 2014

i7Baby :

Yeah that works too, I was just showing the upper limit

tom19j · May 27, 2014

i don't have 6 pin connector.......................
and i am depending upon hd 7750 or r7 250.......................
and many reviews r saying that gpu will run fine on the current psu..............as dell gives good psu's............

i7Baby · May 27, 2014

They don't need 6 pin connectors - they get their power from the pcie slot.

lunyone · May 27, 2014

tom19j :

The GTX 750/750 Ti don't require any additional power connectors to power them up. You just need a PCI-e slot on your mobo and you should be okay.

Check out below:

Quoted from article "Taking each of these measurements into account, we have to congratulate Nvidia for its enormous efficiency improvement. The GeForce GTX 750 Ti indeed gets along without an additional PCIe power connector even under extreme load."

i7Baby :

yes but which will be better among the two as my budget is 100 to 110$....................thnks in advance

i7Baby · May 27, 2014

The GTX 750Ti is $140
The GTX 750 is $120

The R7 250 is $80

The highest performing recent card for under $110 is the HD7770

i7Baby :

hey guys,
what about playing watch dogs with my current specs....with r7 250 gpu

marcello727 · Jun 4, 2014

well i have watch dogs on my pc specs i74820k gtx 770 8gb ram i run it all ultra for a r7 250 gpu maybe med or low with no extras

tom19j · Jun 4, 2014

marcello727 :

yes but how about with rest of my specs..........

lunyone · Jun 4, 2014

Well Watch Dogs on your system is going to interesting. You have a bit older Dual core CPU and if you have a R7 250, your going to struggling to run that game.

Here are the specs:
Minimum System Requirements
Operating System Windows Vista (SP2)
Windows 7 (SP1)
Windows 8 and 8.1

Note that Watch Dogs only supports 64 bit OSs.
Processor (CPU)
2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400
3.0 GHz AMD Phenom II X4 940
System Memory
6GB RAM
Video Card* (GPU)
nVidia GeForce GTX460
AMD Radeon HD5850
Hard Drive Space
25 GB
Sound Card
DirectX 9.0c Compatible Sound Card
DirectX Version
DirectX 11
Internet
Broadband connection required for multiplayer mode

So you don't have a quad core CPU, so I'm not sure you'll be able to run the game. I don't know for sure, so you might see if there are other dual core CPU's running that game out there.

lunyone :

yes i have 64 bit os and what about these ....r they real or fake?????

Seems a bit iffy on their motives in a lot of their responses (I looked at the comments on the first video and all they are looking for is subscribers - at least that is how I took it).

I don't know if your going to be able to run the game, but the better GPU you get, the more than likely you will have a better gaming experience. That is why I recommended the GTX 750 Ti model, if you can fit it into your budget.

tom19j · Jun 5, 2014

sry but i have got the r7 250 gpu.....
any way thnks for the help...

marcello727 · Jun 5, 2014

put a solution

i7Baby · Jun 5, 2014

Have a look at recommended pc spec for watch dogs - http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/watch-dogs-pc-performance,3833.html

lunyone · Jun 6, 2014

i7Baby :

That is with a i7 3960x CPU, which IIRC is a $1,000 CPU, so the results are going to be a bit different. I believe the OP might be able to play at 1280 x 720 High details or maybe 1920 x 1080 on very low settings. It will be interesting to know how his system works with WD's, so the OP please post back an let us know your findings.

lunyone :

hey guys,,
the game is cool...
ok firstly i was not running in admin mode so black screen was appearing after new game...
but in admin mode it is running ok......there is a little lag while playing....but it is not irritating though....
thnks for the help guys.......
but the temp of motherboard rises to 55-58 degree and temp of gpu to 45-50 degree....
is that ok for the computer????

lunyone · Jun 6, 2014

You should be okay at those temperatures. I would get a bit worried/concerned if your temps went to 85-90 degrees.

tom19j · Jun 6, 2014

ok.....thnks for the help..

tom19j · Jun 7, 2014
