please help me to choose a graphic card....my pc specs-intel i3, 3 gb ddr3 ram, pci express slot x16 and i have only 300 w supply..ati radeon hd 5670 will work fine in my pc?????

 

[FlintIronStagg]

Yes it will but if your budget allows the 7750 also will work and be faster

 

[nihalnhk]

[nihalnhk]

but 7750 need 500 w power supply....

Yes it will but if your budget allows the 7750 also will work and be faster

hd 7750 requires 1 6pin pcie connector that psu doesnt have that.

 

[sunnk]

hd 6670 is the best card for that 300w psu its good in performance doesnt requirs that much power.

 

[nihalnhk]

7750 will not support in my pc...

 

[sunnk]

it will support your pc but the only fact is the psu so if you want to upgrade your psu with 1x6pin pcie connector and 450w then it would alright.

 

[nihalnhk]

so 6670 ......will be the best choice for my 300 w power supply pc.....

 

[sunnk]

what is the model name of your psu? that is important to know if your psu is mordern one then yes.

toms did a review of the 7750 using nothing but 55W max with no external connectors.
it will run on that psu
and yes it will be compatible with your system.

 

[sunnk]

first of all who are the builders of the card they are recommending 1x 6pin pcie connector and even the older one hd 6750 requires one so op dont take the risk.

Every review I've read says the HD 7750 does not have nor need an external power connector. The card actually uses LESS power than the HD6670.

 

[sunnk]

maybe i be wrong anything can happen i just tell him that because of amd system requirments there is given that it needs that connector thats why by.

yep spot on, why would the card have a 6 pin connecter if it uses less power than the 6670 that haven't got one? and i also have seen in every review i have read that it doesnt have a connector so i think the OP definitely should get the 7750. it will run fine on 300w.

OP list your full system specs and budget, why have you not already provided this info... smfh

man my bad i just looked at the requirments thats why.

 

[nihalnhk]

hey... now i hav a integrated graphic card with intel h57.....so ...there will be a problem if i am installing a new graphic card.....???

 

[FlintIronStagg]

No you will just have to disable the onboard in bios and.choose the pcie device as primary display.

 

[sunnk]

^+1 there will be option in bios that primary dis play one three option will appear pci,pcie,onboard so choose pcie one.

 

[nihalnhk]

then should i go for hd 7750....

 

[sunnk]

yes it will be an good upgrade for your system.

@OP

7750 will work but it would be nice to know the make and model of your psu at least, its been requested several times now in this thread and imo not listing your full and complete system specs is making everyone have to tiptoe around solving the problem, please list your specs and expectations and giving advice will be that much easier...

man my bad i just looked at the requirments thats why.

Wattages are usually largely overstated, of course that is assuming you have a quality PSU.
