So, I bought a budget PC without GPU and it came with a 400w PSU.
My friend offered his GTX 660 until I could afford something else.
After searching for a bit, I realized that the GTX 660 requires a 450w PSU.
Oddly enough, I tried to test it into some games anyway.
Valorant with no fps cap and vsync off = screen goes black, PC shut down almost instantly.
I assume it is prolly bc my PSU can't handle it... but, as soon as I cap my FPS and turn vsync on, the GPU don't turn off anymore so, my guess is that it doesn't consume that much, allowing me to play even tho my PSU doesn't fit the requirements.
Now to the 2nd but... I'm a WoW player and I was playing with the integrated GPU with my solid 30fps haha. I tried doing the same config as I did to Valorant to WoW settings but, wtv I try, 10 or 20 secs into the game running, the screen goes black and PC shut down anyway. Is there anyway for me to tweak wow settings or tune it down in order for it to run into the dedicated GPU or my best bet is just get a new PSU?
as I said, it was a budget PC so, I prolly wont be able to afford a new PSU for now, hence why I'm okay to tune the GPU down a little in order to keep using it but, if there's no way to do that, I'm prolly just gonna remove it and keep using the integrated one and as soon as I'm able to get a new PSU, I install it again.
Some PC Specs just inb4 someone asks:
ASROCK A320M
AeroCool KCAS 400W
ADM Ryzen 3 3200G
8GB DDR4 RAM
120 SSD
1TB HD
Thanks in advance!
