Hello,
I’ve been looking at smaller single fan graphics cards for a dell inspiron 620. From what I gather both the 3.1 ghz core i3-2100 cpu and the dell n6h3c 300w psu pretty much limit the possibilities to the geforce gtx 750ti and 1050 series. Is there any way to narrow that down some more? If the 60w 750ti are the only alternatives, what about the superclocked 750ti? Read somewhere that the gtx 750ti requires 20 amps on the 12v rail (don't know what that means) but specs on evga website don’t say that for those cards but do for others. As I understand it, even if I upgraded the psu, the choices of say nvidia cards would be same because of the cpu.

Will be adding a samsung 850 evo 250 gb ssd and would like to also add a pci-e usb 3 expansion card with 4 ports ( 2 external, 2 internal ) to otherwise stock computer with 500 gb 7200 rpm hdd, dvd burner and 4 gb ram

Thank you,
Hans

what case size do you have?

mini tower?

mid tower?


SFF?



if your case allows you to upgrade the psu, then there is no reason to not upgrade the cpu as well




all psu's come with a sticker with its specs

this one for example is capable of delivering 40 amps on the 12v rail





the 750 ti is obsolete with the 1050 and rx 460 around


get one of those

The link for the GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 750Ti 2GB LOW PROFILE OC EDITION advises system power supply requirement: 400W

The case is a midtower, about 14 inches high, standard width and 17 inch deep.

I spend a good amount of time at my dads, its his computer and so i dont want to spend more than around 100 bucks, maybe a little more on it.. already have the ssd. Upgrading the cpu is beyond me. I'm looking at the sticker, the print is microscopic:

input output
100-127V~/9A +5V -=- /13A Max +12VA -=- /17A Max
200-240V~/4.5A +5Vaux -=- /2A Max +12VB -=- /9A Max
50-60 Hz -12V -=- 0.3A Max +3.3V -=- /10A Max

Maximum continuous total DC power will not exceed 300W.
The maximum continuous combined output power (5V & 3.3V excluding the 5V auxillary output) is 90W.
+12V rails (+12VA and +12VB) total continue power will not exceed 216 watt.
+12VB peak current can be 11A but endurance time less than 1sec.
+12VA peak current can be 18A but endurance time less than 1sec.

I used -=- because there is no key for whats on sticker: solid line with 3 dashes below

The whole computer is just about obsolete, just want to spiff it up a bit.

Some of 1050 cards draw 75 watts, so does the rx 460 which i think also requires 350w psu. I can upgrade the psu but with this cpu...

What about the gtx 750ti superclocked? 300w psu and 60 w draw

The 750Ti low profile. (The one i linked before above) is the perfect choice. I have no idea why it says 400w psu needed. Lol. The whole point of being a low profile card is small size and less power draw than standard. I'm sure this would work with 300w psu without any issues.
And some brands also advertise 400w psu for the gtx 1050.

I say go for the 750ti low profile.

If the "gtx 750ti requires 20 amps on the 12v rail" can i just add up the 12VA and 12VB?

My psu chart didn't come out right

input
100-127V~/9A
200-240V~/4.5A
50-60 Hz

output
+5V -=- /13A Max
+12VA -=- /17A Max
+5Vaux -=- /2A Max
+12VB -=- /9A Max
-12V -=- 0.3A Max
+3.3V -=- /10A Max

What do you think about the superclocked gtx 750ti? kinda have my eye on that one

Um... I'm not sure about the 750Ti superclocked. I think with such a low-wattage psu, you should get a low profile card, as i recommended you in the first place. Because they consume less power after all.
The thing is, the 750ti SC might work on your psu, but we don't wanna take any risks, now do we?
