Need help with GPU Wattage and PCIE wattage.

[Tj107]

Hi, I have a motherboard that has a 50 watt pcie x16 slot but the gpu I'm getting is 75 watts. What should I do? I'm getting a gtx 1650. I have a 300 watt psu.

get a different card. If the slot can only supply 50W, the 1650 won't work.

[Tj107]

Like what then, I'm planning on gaming.

Get a 1650 with a 6 pin power connector and if your psu doesn’t have a 6 pin pcie connector you could get an adapter.

GT 1030. And you probably won't be doing much gaming without upgrading the entire system.

You could just put it in and see what happens. If it doesn’t work you could turn the power limit down in msi afterburner and it would run at a lower clock speed.

ok, i guess i could try

Or the board could fuck itself as it probably lacks OPP

whats opp

well if you dont hit it with a big load you should be able to do that

You mean like running a 75W card on a 50W max slot? Aka overloading by 50%?

[ishapli8]

If you turn the power limit down so it can only draw 50 watts it will probably be fine.

Not likely to happen.

you didnt get it? 75w is maximum power at maximum load if the gpu load is not heavy he can turn on pc

75W is an arbitrary Nvidia rating. The 1650 usually hovers at 80W under load and if the slot has a hard cap at 50W then the downclocking and severe limits needed will make the 1650 utterly pointless.

so is it worth it to do this ive seen videos like this

Sigh, those janky videos really should be curated...

Again, do it at your own risk - those youtube channels want clicks, not to actually inform you on anything

[mahyar]

i agree you might be able to run it and undervolt-downclock it but at that point it isn much better than gt1030

[Tj107]

ok, then whats a good low profile gpu around 50 watts?

Good? Doesn't exist.

A sub-50W card? GT 1030

[mahyar]

gt1030!

[Tj107]

now what if i over clock the gt 1030 what percentage is it at for better performance?

[mahyar]

1030 is to a "bad" card my laptops gpu is slightly weaker than gt1030 and (btw im not a heavy gamer) I was okay with performance
