GPU under 50 watts and is low profile?

What is a good GPU for under 50 watts and is low profile?

[Fasauceome]

Any GT GPU

 

GT 240, GT 610, GT 710, GT 730, GT 1030

 

Theyre not good for gaming though, and the 1030 and 730 are pretty terrible value.

You plan to game?

[Tj107]

this would be your most powerful top end option...it's quite expensive for the performance this card deliver imo tho

If you're planning to try gaming on it, go for a low profile GTX 1050 Ti or GTX 1650 instead of the options Fausauceome gave. That will get you significantly better performance.

added 1650, forgot there were low profile versions of it

gtx 1050 ti or gtx 1650

You can overclock any of those GPUs.

 

Also when you use @Tj107 you have to make sure it's orange

The only reason why you would need something like that is just for a b**** tier output for a server. If you want to game don't even think about it. Why 50 watts? The PCIe slot can provide up to 75 so something like this would be okay:

Also any reason why it has to be low profile? Depending on your case you can install a PCIe riser and make a mount for the GPU out of cardboard or something so you could fit like a 1660S mini if those even exist yet (with a Molex to 6 pin or SATA to 6 pin or something)

 

This video is a good guide to start with:

 

I have a low profile case

I guess, but if you are upgrading a PC to be good at gaming, you shouldn't waste the money on lesser GPUs.

 

I highly recommend saving a bit more money, and getting a new case, power supply, and powerful GPU. You don't even have to save too much money, a cheap ATX case can be as little as $30, a used RX 470/570 is about $80, and a decent PSU will host about $70 right now (less when Covid is not affecting stock of electronics)

 

You also just get more performance up front. What PC are you currently upgrading?

i have a dell optiplex DT 7010 with 250 watt psu but the power supply i bought that is 300 watts does not work so.

The Optiplex 7010 motherboard does work inside a standard case, so you are in luck there. What 300 watt power supply did you buy? I hope it was a good one, although decent PSUs are not really available in that wattage.

Well it's a cute little thing but it seems rather expensive. Able to send it back for a refund?

Why buy a 300w ATX PSU when you can get a 500W ATX PSU for like 10$ more it's more than worth it. You have way way way more headroom for a better graphics card.

i have a tfx
