Hey,

I have a Dell Optiplex 740 desktop. I have never upgraded it. My pc has a 280 watt PSU. I want to buy a nvidia geforce gt 1030 low profile graphics card but they recommend a 300 watt PSU. The power of my PCIe x16 slot is 25 watt but the power consumption is 30 watt. Will it work if I connect it with the pc?


Sorry for my bad English.

I think you'll need something like a GT 730. everything else requires around 60+ w. if your mobo only allows up to 25 then that will be your best bet.

I think you'll have issues with the 1030 hooking it into a 25w pci when it needs 30, at least when trying to run anything using it. (videos,games,etc)

It really depends on which processory and other hardware you're using. Do you have a list of all specs? I honestly think you should be fine, but it might be better to take a look at your specs before givng you an answer
