so as the question says guys, i'm looking for a gtx750 or gtx750ti card that has 2gb vram but DOES NOT use an additional power connector, just takes power from the pci-e slot. I couldnt really find any and i'm really hoping that one does exist. Thanks
huh, you must have been looking at the wrong card.
what no....i looked at a couple of Asus 2gb 750tis, a gigabyte one and a zotac one, pcpartpicker doesnt tell you if they need an extra additional cable or not. I checked the cards on their websites and all of them needed a power connector. Ironically, the only card i hadnt looked at was the msi one you pointed out. I was definitely looking at the right card, the gtx 750ti
it should work fine, but i would also get a new psu when you can, the one you have is low quality and may fail soon due to the extra strain of the new card.
Hmm I don't know if I can change the psu as it doesn't seem to be a normal ATX unit. It doesn't have any sort of a 'casing' around it and the internals are visible. It's been running fine for about 2 years now though without any issues. When it does fail, it won't be damaging anything else right?
