I have been upgrading an HP Pavilion p6-2317c Desktop running win10 and Fortnite.
I added a Trinity Quad-Core A10-5800K which specifies a TDP of 100W and upgraded to 12 MB memory. The box has a 300W PS. The box has an integrated video on the processor, a
Radeon graphics HD7660D.
I must admit I'm amazed at the PS needs of the top of the line graphics boards. My pocketbook is not that deep and I don't want to get into PS upgrades.
The specs on the installed PS are 300W.
First off, can I assume I have 200 W left to run a graphics board given the TDP (which I'm not sure I understand) of 100W?
And/or can someone suggest a graphics board with a form factor of
PCI Express x16 that will work and improve my son's Fortnite experience?
Thanks and good to be on the forum as this is my first post.
