Can i Upgrade my GPU to a 1050TI

OfficialRitual · Aug 7, 2017

Hi so im new to pc building so im not sure if i can upgrade my gpu to a gtx 1050ti i ask about the 1050 but im not for sure about the ti version so im asking again. Also i want a gpu that can play Rainbow six seige and Rust at 1080p at medium setting or low

My GPU: Ati Radeon HD 5670

MotherBoard: M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3

CPU: AMD Phenom II x6 1090t

My power supply is 800w
so thanks for the help

Yep, shouldn't be any problem, as long as your PSU has the right connectors.

800w psu should easily power a 1050 ti, any model of it. even a junk unit should have no issues.

PCMACPC · Aug 7, 2017

What I mean with connectors, is 6+2 PIN connectors and 8 PIN connectors.

Math Geek · Aug 7, 2017

a 6+2 is the same as an 8 pin connection. if you onyl need 6, then don't connect the +2. if you need all 8 then connect the 6 and 2 pins for a total of 8 pins.

that simple. you're good to go for a power sipping 1050ti

I know. But you need to be sure you have the right connectors. Thats the only thing i'm saying.

ok wow thanks for the comments so i look in my case and i see a 6 pin sli ready cable and a 2 pin that looks just like it but now wording

PCMACPC :

and also i might get the 1050 im debating about it and also ive read that not all 1050 ti's need a external power supply

like they use the mobo for the power but u cant do alot of oc

If you have a 6+2 pin you're good to go.

PCMACPC :

ok thanks but is it called sli? and should i be debating about getting the 1050

PCMACPC · Aug 7, 2017

I would recommend you getting the 1050ti.
SLI means more than 1 graphic card, but that's all fine.

PCMACPC :

ok so i have a 6 pin sli cable and 2 pin one is that the right cable?

Math Geek · Aug 7, 2017

looks like this. 6 pin on the left, 6+2 on the right. the +2 is optional if your card needs it. if it does not, then simply tuck it to the side and only use the 6pin part.

at 800w even a junk psu should have at least 1 6+2 connection. it may say "sli" on it but that is likely due to it having more than 1 6+2 connection. the second one would be for a second card if you have one. 2 cards are called sli, hence the reason it is labeled as "sli" it's just to make it sound better,.
