9800 gt is enough

[Martin_71]

my gtx 650 died and i have a point of view 9800 only problem is i miss the 6 pin connector on my psu and i only play cs:go and league of legends so my question is:
is it enough for the 9800 to play this game so should i buy 2x molext to 6 pin or a new gpu will be needed?
to make it clear:
is 9800 enough to play csgo,league of legends at low setting at 1440x900 at a decent frame rate

9800 gt requires 1x6 pin power connector.
And I have owned this card and my experience wasn't so good. You'll probably have to run those games on low settings to get decent FPS (around 40). But only if you have the 1 gig version.

What exact make and model PSU do you have? If it hasn't got a 6+2 connector chances are its not up to powering the gpu

While the GT 9800 meets the minumum requirements the games have changed a great deal. The GT9800 will not keep up. Even the cheapest 1050 is over 6 times faster than the GT9800 while it only outputs around 90ish fps in CSGO. IE the GT9800 is going to drop to around 30fps.

What PSU do you have? It could be very risky doing the molex route.

Overall the GT9800 will barely be enough. I have the 8800 GTS and it barely runs lower end titles like Portal 2 at medium settings.

sorry for beeing late but had some problems my psu is power box atx-700w
not new one well.
also the gpu uses max of 105w(Maximum Graphics Card Power (W)
105 W) so 75 w from the mb it gets 75w so can a sata cable provide the next 30-35w? i dont where i read but i think it can go up to 60w also there are this on my psu:
230v,6A,47-63Hz if thats relavent

You'll want to update your PSU aswell then. That powerbox is a very cheap PSU with low quality parts. I suggest you upgrade to a EVGA G2, Seasonic, or Corsair CXM PSU.

i have around 70 fps everything on lowe and rez on 1076x768 or something like that while playing msi afterburner was opened and my gpu usage was around 40% maximum while cpu on 100% most of the time the pentium E5400 oc'ed is not enough i guess :v
