help about gtx 1050 ti

Khaaytil · Jun 1, 2017

Sorry for my english
I wan't to buy a gtx 1050 ti evga but i don't know such things about it, can any of gtx 1050 ti users (or whos knowledge is good about it) answer some questions and help me
My processor is i3 2120 and mobo ga-h61m-s2pv, is it can handle it? (i know my cpu is gonna bottleneck it)
I'm using pc 9-12 hours a day, is it can cause some problems? (like burning)
My psu is 300 watt but i'm going to buy a 500w psu, i need a higher one or this one is enough?
Is evga good? or i have to buy another brand?
Thanks

Some boards with H61 chipsets have issues running the 700-1000 series Nvidia cvards.

Newer Nvidia cards, newer than the GT/GTX 6xx series, might need the motherboard to have a UEFI bios. Your motherboard won't have such a bios. This is the only real issue that might keep this upgrade from working. Upgrading your power supply is a good idea, if the one you have now is as old as your computer then it's due to be upgraded anyways.

AMD cards usually are more compatible with older systems. The problem is AMD has new cards slower than a 1050 Ti, such as the 460 and 560, or faster than the 1050 Ti, such as the 470 and 570, but they don't have an exact competitor.

Here it says that my mobo has dual uefi bios, is it the thing you said or dual uefi is an another thing?

I would go with an equivalent AMD card.

Khaaytil :

You are right, and I was wrong on that motherboard. I saw you had a Sandy Bridge CPU and assumed the motherboard didn't have a UEFI bios, most motherboards used with Sandy Bridge don't.

I looked on the official website and they had released several bios updates. The last one was a beta bios. The last non beta bios is the version FH. I would check if I was you to make sure you are up to date. Don't update to the beta bios if you don't need to.

So then I think you'd be alright to use a 1050 Ti.
