Can I use GTX 1050 Ti

[Callan123]

Can I use a molex to 6-pin to power my GTX 1050 Ti. Also it says it minimum psu output wattage
500 watt then at the bottom it says Recommended PSU: 300 W
I have a 300 watt. Will it work?

Don't use adapters if your PSU needs one it shouldn't be running the card.

Get a slot powered 1050ti that doesn't need the 6 pin.

If your on a budget and you want that card

Or if you don't want to upgrade PSU

[strike]you don't need extra power cable, just plug into pci e x16 on the motherboard.[/strike]

[strike]motherboard can provide 75W, which is needed by 1050ti and 300w is more than enough. [/strike]

What kind of PSU does not have even single 6-pin connector? It was clearly not meant for use with GPUs ...

Wrong that is one that needs a 6 pin.

Just get a version like this that doesn't require additional power from the PSU.

You CAN use a molex to 6 pin for your 1050 ti. Do not worry; your PSU can handle it. Reason being - 10xx series cards have extremely power efficient architecture, therefore it won't chug the power out of your system. Go right ahead and use the adapter.

Bad advice don't run it with adapters.
