GTX 750ti low profile on 250-300W PSU or GT 730 GDDR5 ?

mohitakundi · Apr 25, 2016

Hi all.
After a lot of thinking, I've decided to wait for Pascal/Kaby lake for my new build.
Now my old Dell 580S is holding up just fine except the GT210 which likes to cross 70C even on the lightest games like CS:1.6 and 80C on nfs mw 2012 and thus, eventually dying out.
Now it has a PSU-pic below
So, can it run a GTX 750ti ?? or a GT 730 GDDR5 ??
I know 250W is ridiculously low but I don't have any other choice

If you have good suggestions, please do suggest from amazon.in as I'm from India

Your picture of your PSU didn't work, could you please try to re-upload it?

mohitakundi · Apr 25, 2016

It's not getting uploaded for some reason.
Anyways, here is the info:

Company-Ac Bel
+5.0V-18.0A
+3.3V-11.0A
TOTAL 120W MAX

+12.0V-17.0A
-12.0V-0.3A
+5.0VS-2.0A
TOTAL 250W MAX

Would you be able to tell us your specs? Also, does the power supply have a spare six pin plug? At the moment, I would probably say the PSU doesn't supply enough power for a dedicated GPU but we should be able to tell once we see the specs

Well, it's a core i3 540(No OC) @3.06GHz
2x2GB DDR3 1333Mhz RAM
GT310 OEM(Basically a rebadged 210)
WD 300GB SATA HDD

The PSU is a pretty weak one and does not have a 6pin connector-It was never supposed to be used for gaming

it's 250W.
Now the 310 has a max TDP of 30W and the 730 25W and the 750ti 60W
Theoretically, the 730 should be fine and the 750ti should also not have much problems but well, that's the Question

The GTX 750 works fine on a quality 350w PSU. What is your budget? You need to get a better PSU and a GTX 750Ti. I'm from India.

mohitakundi · Apr 25, 2016

Well, That's the problem.
It is a slim tower and will only accept low profile cards and specific psu
PSU upgrade isn't really an option.
What about the 730 GDDR5 version ??
Any other good cards for my PSU ? It's just an upgrade for an year and I'll be getting a new build as soon as the budget Pascal cards arrive.(or Polaris if they turn out to be good)
So I need to use this setup for another year or so (Hopefully, less than an year)

Then go for the GT 730 with DDR5 memory. Which resolution?

mohitakundi · Apr 25, 2016

My monitor is 1600x900 but I'll be fine with 1366x768 though 1600x900 will be pretty good if possible

Alan Caldwell · Apr 25, 2016

The GT 730 DDR5 will be good for 720p gaming.

Yes. I saw the same one on amazon.
What should I do with my 210 by the way ?
Sell it ? or Keep it for future testing OR Go Nuts With It ?

Alan Caldwell · Apr 25, 2016

Sell it.

mohitakundi · Apr 25, 2016

Well. It does not have a good resale value
In fact I might not even get 500 for it. Anyways thanks for the help.......

Alan Caldwell · Apr 25, 2016

LOL, keep it, some guys might buy it off you, try olx and quickr. You are welcome.
