anyone using 1050 ti on 300 watt psu?

[Tahshin]

i want to install 1050 ti on my hp elitedesk 800 g1 tower ..... it has a 320 watt psu....[ i cant upgrade it -_-] will it run ? if anyone have experienced running it on a 300 watt psu ... plz let me know

The PSU won´t be the problem, if the 1050TI you wanna buy doesn´t need an additional PCIe power plug. Or does the PSU have an additional 6Pin PCIe power plug?

The most probable cause of failure will be the used motherboard and its BIOS. If the BIOS doesn´t detect the new graphics card correctly, it won´t boot.
In advance you should update the BIOS:

well I looked at the specifications on your HP elides 800 G1 tower model with an I7 http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/newsroom/press_kits/2013/HPDiscover2013/HPEliteDesk800_datasheet.pdf
inputted the data into this PSu calculator and with the 1050ti it consumed 275W, word of advise, do not over clock anything on this computer...

HP internal 320W Power Supply, Active PFC, up to 94% efficient meaning = 300W

 

[helpstar]

The efficiency doesn´t mean it will just deliver only 300W to the components, it just draws more power from the wall plug to get the 320W to the PC. In this case 94% means it will draw about 340W at max. and can only deliver 320W.

Check an HP forum. Boards used by the OEM PC builders tend to be supported awkwardly and inconsistently, so it's hard to give good answers (one of many reasons we don't recommend pre-builts, especially to people who intend on making upgrades).

 

[The Paladin]

buy at a local store try it, if it doesn't work re-box and return for incompatible or doesn't fit in case reason, store will give money back especially if you do it inside 48 hrs.,( of course this could be different if your not in north America) its hard to say if the HP will be a problem or not with that video card, but it looks like a more modern hardware than most, so the odds might be in your favor.

try and error

have a look at some youtube videos, sometimes people have the same hardware configurations built up already

You Are Welcome

 

[tviper20]

can you please give me the exact name of the gpu cause i will buy the same pc and buy a gpu seperatley so i need to make sure it works fine

@Tahshin
Did you get the
msi gtx 1050 oc
or the
msi gtx 1050 TI oc ?

@tviper20
both should work, because both are very equal chips and hardware generations
both doesn´t need an extra PCIe power connector

I think almost all graphics cards till now are supported, as long as the cards doesn´t need an extra PCIe power connector.
With another power supply it would be no problem to install e.g. a GTX 1070 or RX 580
