Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

320w platinum power supply
Make and model of the unit as well as it's age?

Does the power supply have 2x PCIe 6 pin connectors (or 1x 6 and 1x 8 or 2x 8)?

Every GTX 970 has at least 2x 6 pins (mine has 1x 6 and 1x 8). Without the proper connectors the other details won't matter at all.

No it doesn't but i got sata connection cables,iam taking about the power calculation,will this power supply be able to make it?

Do not hook up a video card this way either get a new PSU or don't put the card in.

Find full model name of the PSU.
Or show photo of info label printed on PSU.

Generally minimum PSU recommendation for GTX 970 is 500-550W.
If your PSU doesn't have necessary connectors, this usually means, it can't support the hardware.
Adapters are not resolution for insufficient PSU power.

If you're using PCIE adapters to power this card, then it's a definite no.

Is hec raptor 500w will be good for the graphic card?

 

[thestryker]

No a 15 year old power supply is not a good choice. If you have to buy cheap/used don't buy anything with a design older than the video card itself (970 came out Sept 2014).

Generally speaking I'd say nothing below B tier out of this list, but an older lower power system would probably be okay at C tier: https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/

I smell smoke.

I smell a house fire.

A cheaply made, archaic PSU that hasn't been made in a decade? The only thing that will be for is the person who gets your money for that junk.

hp 800g1,What graphic card can it handle?

Let's get your full specs. Did you replace the PSU? If not, not much.

Well that's a SFF PC and the video cards available for it were all under 75W and SFF format. I believe the fastest thing you could get for this would be the GTX 1650, but it would probably also be relatively expensive. A 1050 Ti 4GB would also be an option.

Never use SATA to power a video card, no matter what anybody tells you. It's a good way to start a fire when the graphics card draws more from the SATA connector than it can handle.

The A2000 is basically a low power RTX 3050, that fits in a low profile case. It's pricey, especially in the 12gb configuration, but it's one of the fastest low profile cards you can buy. There's also the RTX 4000 SFF, with slightly more CUDA cores than a RTX 4070, and 20gb of VRAM, which is even more money, and more powerful.

In a post where someone's exclusively asking about old equipment suggesting cards that cost hundreds to thousands is completely worthless.

What about 1060 3g do u recommend it?

 

[DSzymborski]

What



What about 1060 3g do u recommend it?

If you have a SFF PC, it's a no, and if you haven't replaced the PSU, it's a no.

 

[thestryker]

What about 1060 3g do u recommend it?

No, it requires a power connector and I'm not sure there was ever a low profile 1060 period

Gtx 1650 super as a low profile card,is a good option?
Will it work?

only the regular GTX 1650 will work as the Super requires a 6 pin power connector.

With a core i5-4570
320w will work?

With the regular GTX 1650 that should be totally fine.
