Maya graphics question

[NoobsWeStand]

My school was thinking about getting a 4 new graphics cards for some school computers

The computers are the HP pro3500

Their specs are:

Intel Pentium G2120 @3.1 GHz

4Gigs of ram

64bit operating system

 

300 Watt power supply

 

Attached is full system information(In attachments)

 

Some questions:

I know that maya works better with NVidia.

I have 2 candidates. The gt 740, and the gt 730

I was wondering if the 300Watt power supply would be enough to supply the card with enough power

Also, for maya, should I get the version with 2GB of DDR3, or the version with 1GB of GDDR5

 

The price range is under $100, the lower the better

 

 

Thanks

yeah 300w would be fine. even the 750ti only uses about 65w as it draws it straight from the pci lane.

I'd recommend the 750Ti but due to the budget im ruling it out despite it being a great option.

 

At the sub $100 price point just get the best you can for the budget. From the list the GT 740 has much better price for performance value than the 730. 

 

All of these cards will run on 300W PSU's. (750ti and lower, with the Pentium listed)
