Question Best GPU upgrade with 300w PSU?

[Rick93]

I respect that only you know your limits and baby steps are awesome.

No one can say nothing can go wrong that's not controllable from our side but just go slow watch what your doing while your installing your choice of the GPU you feel matches you and it should go good.

thanks a lot, you all have been of great help

Maybe a used RTX A2000, if you can find one for a good price. They game about the same as an RTX 3050 8gb and it doesn't require external power to operate. I would not get a GTX 1650 or an RX6400. 4gb vram is simply not enough these days, and with regards to the RX 6400, you would be stuck in PCI-E gen 3.0 speeds, which kills its performance quite quickly.

GPU manufacturers generally on the product specification pages, state the recommended PSU wattage for the given GPU.

I'm afraid it's a bit out of budget for me, unfortunately. maybe if i do find it used, i can consider it.

Yea it isn't a practical solution, on a new one. Only if you can find a good deal on a used one.
