I need a new GPU!

brysonj360 · Dec 27, 2017

Can anyone help me find the best graphics card i can put in my Alienware x51 R2. Right now I have gtx 745 paired with a i7-4790k and games are playable but not to the standard I want.

It's all about the power supply. I see some specs that say your model has a 330W power supply, is this true? Look at the label on the power supply itself, inside the computer, if you don't know. If you do have one, a GTX 1050 Ti is the way to go. If you have one of those 180W power supplies, a GT 1030 is about the best you can do. Even a 1030 would be far better than a 745.

I have a 330watt. What about the 1060 6GB? https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/products/10series/geforce-gtx-1060/

You have the CPU to take advantage of a 1060, the problem is the 1060 requires a 6 pin pci-ex connector. Does your power supply have one of those? You can get 1050 Tis that run off the power from the pci-ex slot on the motherboard and they don't require that pci-ex connector.

depends on brand & model. I recomend buying a newer suitable PSU then got with even an AMD card i just got a new RX560 4g model @ the 3rd of the nvidia card, new PSU of 2 weeks ago & fresh drivers to top it off on a i52400 on 8gig ram. This thing is so under rated gave it a great test earlier when i got it even older decent monitors handle this card well, I am impressed considering always used the Nvida Intel combo, tho the new AMD range is fanatastic for price for the cost of an AMD card saves you the $ for a decent PSU what i did. I went with future proofing not for all the fansy add on bloatware crap that's not needed & AMD is user friendly highly reomended for some1 keen to jump the fence & test i am impressed & this card will got as good as high priced 960s gtxs & above & all dx12 capible if your looking into VR & evolving gaming & processor market.

blower style gtx 1060 6gb

make sure it has a blower style cooler, because the case is pretty horrible when it comes to airflow

so yes the standard style

like this one:
