Gtx 1050 ti with 300W PSU and vga monitor

Jcarlito60 · Feb 16, 2017

Hi guys,
I am planning to buy the evga gtx 1050 ti.
First, i have a 300W asus psu, will it be enough?
Second, I have an LG monitor that only supports d sub usb.. will buying an hdmi to vga adaptor be effective?
My specs:
ASUS H61M-E
300w ASUS PSU
GT 730
i3-2120 3.3GHz

Thank you for replying!

Given the balance of your spec, a 1050TI *should* work on that 300W PSU (it's only adding 26W max over the GT730's power draw, and everything else is pretty low powered.

D-sub/VGA is analog, and new GPU's only support digital signals. You'll need to ensure any adapter is specifically listed as "active".

Barty1884 :

Thank you for the fast response man!

but is the 300W PSU really enough or will i be risking it? Like i dont wanna ruin the other components, so is it safe?

and, will this https://www.amazon.it/dp/B01JWE686Y/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=234VZX6BX8SFN&coliid=I2KPVXAOELIT40
work? thank u

i3-2130 = 65W
GTX 1050ti = 75W
Balance of your components = <100W

So you're looking at a max, theoretical load of 240W..... in 'real world' use, you're going to be using <200W total.

ASUS PSUs are not the best, but should be more than sufficient for this upgrade.

Google translate isn't translating the page very well, so I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think it'll work, no.

Something like this will, for the same price...... just means taking he DVI to VGA opposed to HDMI to VGA.

make sure the EVGA card you get does not need any extra power connections and you should be ok as is. the gaming, SC and SSC version do not need extra power but the FTW does use a 6-pin. look for the right model and you should be fine.

here is a list of models and power needs for reference if you need it. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-3047729/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1000-series-megathread-faq-resources.html#17902604

and of course the active hdmi to vga convertor Barty linked will make sure it all works together fine.

To be absolutely sure, you'd need to see how many amps the PS supplies on the 12V rail(s), then sum up the power draw of everything on the system. It'll be marked on the PS's label.

Still, I have to agree with Barty, unless it's a really poorly made PS, what you have shouldn't stress it.

I have a PC that has a standard HDD, 4GB RAM (1 stick) 1 large CPU fan, a Haswell Pentium G3220, and a Radeon R7 250E

The CPU is the same power draw as yours, I think, 65W, the video card is 55W, so that's 20 less than yours.

My power supply is only 220W, although the 12V rail has 18amps, so that comes to 216W for the 12v rail.

After I added in for the optical drive (almost never used), fans, RAM, hard drive, etc., I got to about the 180-ish, range. For me, that's cutting it close, but this has been running fine since Jan 2015.

I admit, that it's my son's computer, and he's only here every other weekend, but when he is here, he's gaming mostly nonstop on it, though sometimes switches to YouTube videos.

Overall, though, I think you'll be safe - but check the 12v rail's total amperage, just to be sure.
