Help with choosing graphics card

boomboom24 · Jul 10, 2014

I have a computer with a 300w power supply and i was looking to get a graphics card that requires a 300w power supply. I was wondering if with everything else it is running like the processors and such if it can run this graphics card or if i should just purchase a new psu.

heres the card and its specs.... http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gt-610/specifications

soi yeah you could use it a ok...
I think you can also use gtx 750, as it uses very low power

as you can see the minimum PSU is 300... but the card will use only 30W at maximum... nvidia sets the requierment a little bit higher...

see if you can get 750 or 750ti.... it is much much better

Go for a 750 Ti. It's only a little bit more expensive.
