GTX 750 Ti = Power < Performance?

Go to solution Solved by Aniallation,

My question is if having a 4-pin CPU effects the maximum performance of a 750 Ti? (Compared to a 8-Pin) or that it doesn't matter since it all comes from the 24-Pin Mobo power cable.

CPU power connector only gives power to the CPU. The PCIe slot gets power from the 24 pin. It can provide up to 75W of power which is enough for a 750Ti unless you really want to push the overclocking limits of it. In that case there's models with a 6-pin PCIe power connector, or you can solder your own onto some models that don't have it.

the PCI slots are powerered by the 24 pin, so no.
