RARRAF :
Nope this is powered from the rail but it might not work at full potential
manddy123 :
Absolutely, yes.
The minimum power requirement for the 1050Ti is 300W, ...
I think RARRAF is closer to the truth.
* The graphics card can (want to) draw 75W from the motherboard.
* With an 180W PSU that leaves 100W for everything else, and assuming you don't have a monster CPU it just might be sufficient, albeit somewhat below recommended.
* Potential problems:
1) The PSU's ability to distribute power to each voltage might not match the need if you add a 75W graphics card. (This is where the 300W PSU recommendation comes into play.)
2) The
motherboard might not be designed to deliver as much as 75W through the PCIe slot. (An all too common problem with pre-built computers.)
Consult your computer's manual to see if it can handle a 75W load on the PCIe slot.
Also notice that even if supplying power isn't a problem, the increased (doubled?) power draw will also double the heat generated and thus stress the computer's cooling.
