i am planning to buy sapphire ati radeon hd5450 2GB ddr3 if my motherboard support it can my smps handle the graphic card?

Hd 5450 is not good for gaming.dude please tell your budget and also +12v ratings on your power supply.

The motherboard has a PCI-e x16 slot so you're good to go. The power supply should cover the 5450. Also, just a bit of advice- don't get the 2GB version. It's a weak card and there is just no point in having that much memory on it because it most likely will not be able to utilize it.

HD 5450 will not be able to even run the 2012 Games at Lowest Possible settings
You'll get even less than 10fps in Lowest Possible settings. Making it totally useless to buy

It will work on your g31 board no problem. Just pop the cover and make sure you have a pci-e slot. The type of ram on the video card does not effect its compatibility with the motherboard becuase it is controlled by the GPU. The mother board just sees video card, it does not care what type of gpu or ram it has.

Your much better off with the AMD HD6450. It costs like $5-10 more uses like 35% less electricity and it is like %50 faster.

i once ran a hd 6670 1 gb ddr3 graphics card from a g31 motherboard so it should be ok to run this card i think the hd 5450 has a tdp of less than 24w so this power supply
should be able to run this card

OP never said anything about games? The 5450 and 6450 are great htpc cards, or good for productivity like excel and word.

Do you plan to play modern games with this system?

Guys should i go for hd5450 2GB ddr3 or 1 gb hd6450

 

[ASHISH65]

go with 1gb hd 6450

see here- http://www.flipkart.com/sapphire-amd-ati-radeon-hd-6450-1-gb-ddr3-graphics-card/p/itmd4f6s2vmhybns

hd 6450 is way better than 5450.your psu will work fine

no game uses more than 512 memory.2gb is waste of money

 

[Guest]

Thnxx buddy i will buy hd6450 only will it be able to play games nd it will not harm my motherboard or smps na..??
Nd shuld i buy it from flipkart or some store.??

 

[ASHISH65]

[Guest]

Hmmm
thnxx buddy for your help dude i have dual core processore in which the temp of core 1 is very high as compare to core 2 what should i do to reduce temp.
For eg:- temp of core 1 is 60 nd temp of core 2 is 45..!!

 

[ASHISH65]

usually core 1 have more temp than core 2.you can remove the heatsink and clean it and again install it with new thermal paste.it will reduce your temp

no game uses more than 512 memory.2gb is waste of money

IF you play on a low resolution, like 720p. For 1080p you'll need a gig, rarely more.

 

[Guest]

Dude does game graphics depends on our screen resolution..??
If is it so my resolution is 1280*768..!!

 

[Sumukh_Bhagat]

They depend on the Resolution your keep them on.
It doesn't matter if you have a 1080p Monitor but running your game in 720p, You'll notice the 720p Quality.

 

[renz496]

you can't afford something better? something like 7750 should do well with 720p res

 

[Guest]

Dude my budget is only 3K if i go for 7750 then i need to buy new psu as my psu is nly 280 watt..
Can ny1 suggest me some oder card of 3K which can handle my psu...!!

 

[mohit9206]

actually 7750 can run pretty well on a 280 watt psu as it is an amazingly efficient card.
but then your budget is too low for a real gaming card. i onced owned a 5450 and it was bad. i mean the performance is too low even at lowest settings in modern games.
if you want to play modern games at even medium settings at 720p the minumum is radeon 6670 ddr3.
so i suggest you save up an extra 2k for the 6670 rather than wasting your money on a 6450

 

[ASHISH65]

There is a card hd 5570 which costs 3400.it can be run in your psu.please tell +12v ratings on sticker of your psu.

 

[Guest]

+12V rating is 240 watt
