GRAPHICS CARD RECOMMENDATION

#1

Unread post by SteveKH6CT »

Greetings:

Simon recommends either a GT730 or a GTX950 on the SDRC website. Currently using a GT730, but not happy with it. The GTX950 documentation says a 350 Watt PSU is needed, but my little Dell has only a 255 Watt PSU. Any recommendations for a card somewhere in between the two mentioned by Simon that will run on my computer?

Thanks... Steve KH6CT

Not sure the two requirements are compatible. High performance graphics cards potentially use more power. However, I have a GTX 1650 Super and I can tell you that when running SDRC it is practically at idle. Most of these cards only consume big power when they are running games etc.

Truth be told by today's standards a 250W PSU is small. Why not upgrade the PSU at the same time if at all possible? Maybe case size is an issue?
