Nvidia Geforce GTX 650 1gb(not ti) on 300w psu

Solution
Bottleneck in brief means that- You gpu is being held back in performance due to your cpu, In other words,ur gpu is unable to unleash it's full potential because your processor(cpu) doesn't have enough power in terms of performance to provide support to the gpu.

No i don't think that ur cpu will bottleneck the hd7770/gtx650/gtx 750 but it also depends on the games you are playing. But with HD7750, you would be fine.


well, i have core 2 duo processor, 4 gb ram, 300w psu and what other spec do u want..........
well my pc is dell inspiron 560..............


 

Get a 750 instead for the same price, and you will be fine.

 
The gtx650 that comes from zotac doesn't require an auxillary power connector but the 300 is is not sufficient. Just wait u said that u are using a E7500 which means that ur pc wattage hovers around less than 200W(approx.) and the zotac 650 consumes 75W since it doesn't require an auxillary power connector and draws all the power from the PCI-E x16 lane. I think u would be fine.
HD7750? yes, ithink it will work, it is same as the gtx650 and is power efficient but the hd7770 won't do as it requires an auxillary Power connector.
These will work only if u are having a good branded psu. Tell me what psu do u have?
 
Hi, tom19j,

I had a look at the spec sheet of the GTX 650, the Maximum Graphics Card Power is 64W and the System Power Requirement is 400W.
Therefore, I'd truly recommend that you at least get a good 450W PSU. Never take chances on your power supply unit. It's vital.

Any more queries, feel free to shoot :)
Cheers!

 


I think its antec................would it work.......

 
I think it would and as i said before it depends on your system's TDP and be sure that u buy at least a 450W in near future. Personally i think you should get a 450W psu if u want to be on the safe side but if u don't have enough money for now then get the gpu.( get the gtx750 if u can afford it, it's better and more power efficient than the 650). Can u give me the model no. of ur psu?
 


Ther are few pics......
see if it woul help.....

 


any other card that would give similar performance like gtx 650/hd7750...............

 


GTX 750 like I said in the above post, it costs the same as well.
 


means both can fit..............................and hd 7750 or hd7770...................how about these two woul they fit........

 


but i have heard that nvidia cards produce more heat than ati..............

 


That is entirely wrong. Nvidia cards produce less heat now.
AMD cards haven't been cooler for upwards of 4-5 years.
