Hi, I have Lenovo M720s with 180W power supply. Specs:

- i5-9400 

- 24GB of RAM

- 2TB HDD

 

I was wondering, is it still possible to add a GPU (MSI GTX 1050 TI 4GT LP LOW PROFILE) to this setup without having to upgrade PSU?

 

I see that this GPU power consumption is 75W on the website, but the recommended says "300W" 🤔

If it doesn’t draw more than 75 watts then it should be fine

This is because that’s how much power a pcie slot supplies to its device
