Hello,
I wanna replace an old GT520 with a GTX1050Ti, but I'm quite a newbiee,
I was wondering if my power supply is good enough, how can I check if my PC power supply is good enough for the replacement? Could someone tell me how much more power does the GTX1050Ti need over the GT520, or how much of power supply would i need for running it?

here are the specs of the two cards:
GT520 : https://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gt-520/specifications
GTX1050: https://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-1050-ti/specifications

Any help would be greatly appreiciated. Thanks!

Even though both cards recommend the same wattage power supply, the 1050 Ti does use more power.

There should be a sticker on your power supply with details about the total wattage and available Amps on the +12V rail.
