Hey Friends,

My cabin is Full ATX. And i have a big CPU cooler fit inside. The PCIEx16 slot is so close to the cooler and there is another PCIEx4 slot free. Graphics card users, can you please check and confirm that whether any graphics card can fit in my cabin?

Hey Folks,

Below is my PC specs. I am getting a used Sapphire Radeon R7 250 2GB card for ~$18(Rs.1300).
This one: https://www.flipkart.com/sapphire-a...g?pid=GRCDQZ82FNEP7CZG&cmpid=product.share.pp

Just want to slightly upgrade my PC with this card by crossfiring with my APU. I am ok to play games with medium or high(some old games). What do you guys say?. Please advice.

APU: AMD A10 7850K
Mobo: Gigabyte F2A88XM-D3H
PSU: Cooler Master 500W Thunder
RAM: 16GB Kingston 1800MHz

Those integrated graphics will only crossfire with a radeon Rx250. There is an issue with this, you'll be relying on the game to support crossfire, of which most have such miserable crossfire support you'll only get @ 30-40% better performance, and a good many is far worse to the point where you'd actually get better graphics from not having the crossfire in the first place.

It's gotten to the point where even a low budget graphics card like a GT1030 gets better performance across a greater range of games than any igpu/gpu CF, even if loosing out to a select few.

For that cpu and it's abilities, gtx1050ti would be as high as I'd go, I'd stay away from the Radeons as they have higher power requirements and your psu is one ppl usually...

It looks like you have plenty of room to install a GPU into the PCIe x16 slot nearest your CPU heatsink/cooler. GPUs generally have their bulk on the side facing away from the heatsink.

What CPU do you have installed and what is your GPU budget?

You probably can fit an average size video card. I would tidy up the wires that would interfere with a longer x16 video card (such as the one running over the cooler) Knowing budget and full system specs including psu and cpu can help us to pick the best video card for you.

Thanks for your replies. My PC specs are as follows,
  • AMD A10-7850K APU
  • Gigabyte GA-F2A88XM-D3H Motherboard
  • 16 GB RAM Kingston HyperX RAM (2 x 8GB)
  • Cooler Master Thunder 500W
  • 250GB SSD

I had gone for A10 APU since it has integrated R7 graphics which is now allowing me to play most of the games at medium settings. Also I had an idea of crossfiring the integrated R7 with a discrete GPU so that I wont be wasting the integrated graphics.
Now I am planning to put a discrete graphics card but not sure whether to crossfire or get something else which doesn't bottleneck the performance.
My budget is around Rs. 10,000 (~140 USD).

I have to say that my PC is too fast because of 16 GB RAM and SSD. I am even able to play the Forza Horizon 4 with just the A10's integrated graphics.

You are looking at @ Rs. 13,000 or better for a gtx1050/gtx1050ti unless you can find one 2nd hand.

Thank you for your inputs. Have seen a 1050ti model(Link below). There is also a mini version of that. Any difference other than the size and fan?

Performance will vary from game to game. Try it and see. Adjust as needed for acceptable performance, just don't expect miracles. That is still a low-performance GPU, you just now have two of them working together (some times).
