Best GPU at 75w

[NubUser]

i have the gtx 1050 2gb that only use the pci slot for power, i am asking if there is something better atm that also only drain power from the pci.

cpu i7 4790k
asus z mini itx board
psu, seasonic 400w gold
16 gb ram

1050Ti is the most powerful card that does not require additional power.
Though it's hard to call it an upgrade.

yes sadly, i am not sure if my psu can handle a rx 580 or something, but i the time i bought my 1050, i could noit find any ti with no adicional power requirements

1050Ti is your only option in that regard, but it is not much of an upgrade. On the other hand, GTX 1060 6GB is a significant upgrade, but needs 120W. Given your PSU is Seasonic, it should handle even 1060 without issues provided your CPU is not heavily OC'ed.

Your PSU should have PCIE 6+2 pin cable.
If you can find it, you can install GTX 1060 into your pc.

what is the exact model of your PSU ?
some of the 400w PSUs can do even GTX 1070.
the total system power consumption while gaming on i7 + GTX 1070 (everything non overclocked) is under 250w.
If this is your PSU, it can definitely handle even GTX 1080.

Though it should be in a well ventilated case as it is fanless.

I am sorry, i was looking for my psu model its a seasonic G series 360 W, the cpu is running at stock with water cooling (cooler master single fan that was before on my OC pentium)

Then you PSU has 6pin PCIE power connector.
You can still use GTX 1060 with it (select models). Non-oc GTX 1060 models have 6pin connector.

prety cool then, what about AMD? i have a freesync monitor 2560 x 1440

for the power requirement of RX 580, you can have the performance of GTX 1070 😉
the FreeSync/G-Sync is not needed when you have a hardware that can push enough FPS.
Since you have an i7, there should be no problem with FPS drops. With GTX 1070, games will run well above 60FPS.
The closest thing that AMD have is RX Vega, which uses more power than your PSU can do.

You should look for a card with a single PCIe power connector up to 180w TDP. since your PSU have only 6pin connector and GTX 1070 (and some 1060) use 8pin, you can use this adapter https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-Express-Power-Adapter-PCIEX68ADAP/dp/B001TK3TJY
your PSU is still good to carry it.

RX 580 on a 360W PSU?
I'd strongly advise against that. Upgrade your PSU also then.
