Does replacing your gpu with smaller one cause any trouble?

[Kozlik296]

So Long story short I have Acer predator G3 605 for 5 years now and I noticed my gpu (gtx 770 2GB) started having fps spikes, so I started looking for new gpus.I found one that is good enough and fits my Budget.the GPU that I found is gtx 1650s and it’s way smaller than the original one

 

 

since I’m trying to change gpu and not the whole case I was wondering if the fact that the 1650s is smaller will cause any trouble

I don't see why it would.

smaller the better, unless faulty design

1650s ~780ti

Absolutely not. In terms of length it will not be a problem unless u had something like propped up on your old GPU. If there is a problem it would be that the card is physically taller (measured in partial PCIe covers) and could have the backplate be too close to the CPU cooler.

It wouldn't likely cause any compatibility problems if the dimensions are lower than your original card, although just keep in mind that the mini-versions of GPUs may have less effective coolers than may cause overheating with a high load and/or overclocking settings applied.

But don't buy the 1650S yet, wait at least a month to two months when prices go down and then you could buy a 1660ti for a similar price. Except for that then you will very likely have a bigger CPU bottleneck, but hey maybe depending on the games you play u won't. If you are still experiencing frame stutters after the upgrade, you just need to upgrade to something better than a G3 605, but then you can still keep the 1660ti bc if you buy a used (but better CPU and RAM) pre-built u will definitely see an uplift in performance. 

 

Until then open up your case, pull ur GPU out, and clean the dust out of everything. Put everything back together correctly and u will very likely get slightly higher FPS for the meantime.
