Can I use GT710 with 180w PS

[LeeLoo2215]

I have a HP Prodesk 400 G4

P/N: 1GG07UT#ABA



i5-7500 3.4Ghz

8GB - 1 module

256GB SSD

Intel 630 integrated video

180w Power Supply



I want to add a video card.

HP recommends the Nvidia NVS 310 1GB Low Profile card with two HDMI outputs, and 19w power consumption.



I want to connect 3 monitors, so what I want to know is can I use the Nvidia GT 710 1GB Low Profile card, with VGA, HDMI, and DVI outputs, also 19w power consumption.



On amazon some people wrote the GT710 needs a 300w PS.



Can I use the GT710 with the 180w PS, and if not how can I connect 3 monitors?



I currently have 1 monitor connected to the VGA port, and two other monitors connected using Startech USB2DVIE2 adapters, but on those two monitors the mouse cursor movement is very choppy, and videos look like they are in slo-mo.



Previously I had a 6 year old laptop with half the memory, slower components, and windows 7, but the two monitors connected with the Startech USB2DVIE2 adapters worked fine.



I tried a few windows and software tweaks, re-installed and upgraded drivers, disabled hardware acceleration, but nothing worked.



Thanks.

I dont think so your GT 710 can keep up with 180W PSU, even when it consume less than 25W. The minimum power requirements is 300W as it said on the official page, but 240W should work fine.

180W PSU can only feed those CPU and the rest of the hardware including SSDs, i never recommend upgrading hardware on low-power buildup System since it would be a mess and a lot of compatibility issues.

Compatibility aside, 710 should work just fine with 2 or 3 monitors but as you stated above, there must be a hardware problems.
i have two HD6570 running 3 monitors each for server watchdogs, never had a problem and yeah, its lack of performance is worst but laggy cursors or something like that never happens.

I called HP, they said the Nvidia NVS 310 1GB and Nvidia GT730 1GB 8x PCIe are the only cards supported and will work with 180w PS.
But they only have 2 outputs.
Can I use one of these card for two monitors and the integrated Intel 630 for a 3rd monitor???
Thanks.
