can a pcie x16 supply a gtx 1050

[Alex_316]

can a PCIE 1.0 (<- I think ) x16 supply a gtx 1050 75w?

 

[atomicWAR]

yes it can. assuming the GTX 1050 in question has no PCIe connectors and only uses the PCIe bus for power.

make and model of motherboard?


if you dont know run this, it will be under the mainboard tab

PCIe 1.0 max power draw is 75W under it's specifications

In that case you need to check the PSU as well. OEM ones are usually cheap and low powered, just enough to power the system in it's ex-factory spec. May need to be changed if upgrading the GPU.

yeah if running a OEM PSU we could use some more PSU specs. As stated they tend to not leave you much room to add new parts but sometimes they do so a thorough speccing can help us help you.

you have a pcie 2.0 x16 slot


BUT it is low profile



so you must have a SFF case

any card you get needs to be single slot low profile so a 1050 wont work

ok so i already have the gtx 1050 in the pc and it recognize it just fine but in games i get frame drops would this be cause maxlage?
my psu is 320w if that relevant (yes theres enough wattage to support the gpu)

so you had the tower case then?

full specs?

 

[Alex_316]

no its in a hp compaq 6200 pro microtower
i5 2500 w/ integrated intel hd 2000
hewlett Packard 1497 (as you know)
6.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 665MHz
465GB TOSHIBA MK5056GSY
320w psu

again is pcie slot causing the frame drops i know my hardware is not a bottleneck, and can I sell it and get a low profile version. also would this work in my pcie (https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814137079)
i have a https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487295

note: theres a sff hp compaq 6200 i have the mircotower which is more alike a full case
