Graphics Card for 200 watt power supply.

[i_have_Potato_Pc]

Hello dear fellas, i have a sff dell inspiron 3471 and recently i was thinking to buy a new graphic card. What do you think i should buy if my power supply is 200 watt/

Other pc specs-

1-  i3-9100

2-  4*2 gb ddr4 ram

3-  200 watt psu

and you know monitor, mouse, keyboard

GT 1030 GDDR5 is possibly your best option

 1050 ti low profile is not bad either

it can handle any video playback and some games

^^

Even regular 1050 Ti consumes less than 100W:

Edit: LP indeed is needed...

yes

but personally I rather not to have the worry of triggering the OPP and OCP of the power supply

Only low profile cards with a single slot cooler will fit in the 3471 SFF. There are no LP single slot GTX 1050 Ti/1650 cards. GT 1030 is your best option. https://pcpartpicker.com/product/nRmxFT/gigabyte-geforce-gt-1030-2gb-low-profile-video-card-gv-n1030d5-2gl for example.

That CPU is 65W and in those systems that will be the long term limit. Short term boosts unlikely to be significant at a typical 1.25x ratio that would be 81W. Seems pretty safe to assume you can use the full power from the PCIe slot which is up to 75W total. Any GPU that doesn't need a power cable from the PSU should be ok.

 

Highest performing at the moment I think is the GTX 1650. The 1030 is a lower power class at 30W however in gaming it is so slow it is hardly worth the effort of using it over integrated unless you need it for other features.

Good point, mechanical compatibility! Looking up images, unfortunately they put the GPU slot lower down so thicker coolers aren't an option.

Nothing over 75w IMO, because you're going to be limited to the 75w you can get from the PCIe slot.

 

The fastest graphics card you can get at 75w or under is a GTX 1650. Some board partners make a low profile version. Zotac and Gigabyte actually make low profile GTX 1650 cards that have two fans and 3 ports (DVI+HDMI+DP), which is pretty cool.

I also think that

The 9100 consumes around 60-70 watts in benchmarks, at 100%.  The motherboard and fans maybe another 10w on 12v 

 

You may have a 200w psu, but does it supply all the 200w on 12v?  Look on the label. 

 

There are a few video cards that have a single 6 pin connector but may only consume 70-100w, not anywhere close to 65w + 75w on 12v + 10w on 3.3v  - they do it because they don't want to overload the slot and because they want to have reserves in case of overclocking. So, don't rule out cards with 6 pin connectors.  

 

Some options  with  idle power aka windows, browsing webs - add 5-10w when playing videos on youtube  / power when gaming  

 

Note that you can also get some video card and use MSI Afterburner or the options inside the control center / app that comes with the drivers to adjust the power budget to -10% or -20% and reduce the power consumption.. for example the 5500XT with 125w may be brought down to 100-110w or even less by playing with the slider. If you also tweak the voltage and maximum frequency allowed, you can probably get it below 100w. 

 

RX 5500XT = 12W/125W

 

RX 560 = 9W/79W
RX 550 = 7W/45W
 

RX 460 = 13W/80-100w (the ones with no extra power, under 75w, some 4 GB versions go a bit over 75w)

 

R9 270X = 7W/122W
R7 265 = 13W/103W
R7 260X = 4W/93W

 

GTX 1660Ti = 9W/125W (peak 135W)
GTX 1660 = 8W/125W (peak 135W)
GTX 1660 Super = 8W/110W
GTX 1650 = 8W/80W
GTX 1650 Super = 8W/95W

 

GTX1060 = 6W/122W
GTX1050Ti = 6W/75W
GTX1050 = 6W/75W

 

GTX960 = 7W/118W
GTX950 = 8W/103W

 

 

GT 1030 is somewhere at 30-40w  but it's a shit of a card, with hardware video encoding disabled, and slow...  it's about as good as a RX 550. 

The RX 560 is a better deal, if you can find it... or spend a bit more on a GTX 1050.

Also... you could upgrade the TFX power supply to a regular ATX one or a SFX one... and use an adapter cable to convert the 24 pin connector to the one Dell uses:  https://www.moddiy.com/products/Dell-OptiPlex-3040-3050-3060-Main-Power-24-Pin-to-6-Pin-Adapter-Cable.html

 

Alternatively, this support thread says the power supplies of 3471 has same connectors as 3050/3060/3470/ G5 5090  : https://www.dell.com/community/Inspiron-Desktops/Compatible-PSU-for-Inspiron-3471/td-p/7783699

 

The thread mentions 460w power supplies available :

 

G5 5090 460W psu:

p/n: 4FWF7 PWR SPLY,460W, CHNY

p/n: HG9XD PWR SPLY,460W, ACBL

p/n: 92WNC PWR SPLY,460W, LTON

Dell Optiplex 7050/3050/5050/3040/3046 psu DP/N  4FWF7, 460W, H460EBM-00

 

chny , acbl lton are the oem manufacturers , chicony, ac bel , lite on 

 

You can search ebay or amazon or other places for that part number code ... yeah, searching "dell 460w 4fwf7" shows multiple units at around 100$... expensive.

Oh, is this adapter a pretty standard thing for Dell boards?  I have a Precision Tower 5810 wich has some Dell PSU and it's all incompatible to standard PSUs.  If I could get an adapter, I might be able to transpant it into a 19" case, which would be really cool.

 

What would I need to look for trying to find an adapter?

Do some research about which other series have same power supply as your model.  Search for "dell 5810 power supply adapter cable" , search for pinout for the connectors ... and stuff like see. 

[sell negative]

Why not get an apu. Comes with a decent cpu and low power gpu

[heimdali]

@mariushm

 

Well, the only thing I could find is a power cable for graphics cards ...
