Cheap Graphics Card that can run on a 160W PSU

[s1710030]

I have a crap OEM machine that have a fanless 160W PSU and now I want to upgrade the GPU a bit.
My OEM system has:
A Intel Core i5 4460T Quad core CPU;
8GB of RAM ;
160w PSU;
1TB HDD;
and a AMD RADEON R5 320M
I know this system have a lot more potential cause it is bottlenecked by the graphics card.Do you guys have any cheap Graphics Card that can retire my R5 320M?

Well 160watts is not going to support really anything. The GT 1030 is he first card that comes to mind, however nvidia recommends a 300watt PSU.

Is this an all-in-one? That's a GPU you see in laptops, so you'd pretty much only see this in laptops and all-in-ones. And if it's an all-in-one, your upgrade options get considerably worse.

You might be able to use a 25w card like a 630/730 gt a 30w 1030 might even work considering your CPU draw is only 35w. You would have to try it to find out, either it will boot or not.

A GTX1050 will run on slot power only, (max 75w)
Your 4460T is a low(35w) wattage version of the 4460.
I think 160w would be ok.

But....

What is the make/model of your OEM PC?
Does it have a motherboard with a pcie x16 slot?
Are the dimensions of the case such that a discrete graphics card will fit?

3 things that should set you off here.

i5 4460T Low power CPU
R5 320M "Mobile GPU"
Fanless 160W supply. This is probably proprietary and specially designed since it barely is above a laptop level.

This is a slimline at best and even a Low Profile might not fit, furthermore Airflow is nearly non existent so you really don't want anything that needs a fan and runs hotter than a normal business end GPU.

Yeah, that's why I'm thinking we're dealing with an all-in-one, which is unfortunate for the original poster.

s1710030 You have no options here. Feel free to post your specific model in this thread for verification, but truthfully you must start over with a new build. I am sorry.

Well, a 160 Watt power supply is just sad. Although there probably is an old generation graphics card that is suitable for such a low usage, it would also require a dangerously low power-consuming cpu (around 2 - 5 watts), which most of them are absolutely terrible (and usually very old). Overall, the performance on the build would be horrific!

If you are really limited to such a power supply, I recommend an old generation cpu with integrated graphics & no dedicated graphics card. But honestly, it would be much cheaper to buy a 350 - 500 Watt power supply, and it's actually much safer since your power supply has no fan, meaning it could easily overheat, so you probably should have a fire extinguisher around you.

To put it simply, I'm not going to do any research for such a dedicated graphics card. The performance would be terrible on the build, and it would cost much more than just buying a new power supply from 350 - 450 watts.
