Hi guys,

I'm looking for a card that will run reliably on a shuttle system with a 250 watt PSU.

What are your recommendations on what to look out for? Thanks :hello:

If it is a stock Shuttle system usually the PSU's are pretty reliable. I wouldn't have any issue recommending the 300W HD4550, which is about as low as you can go for a recent generation.

I would recommend to go for a Radeon 4650 with 512MB GDDR2.

i really wouldn't recommend anything above HD45X0 series depending on PSU quality

best bet is to replace PSU and get a decent GPU
