I am helping out a friend build a gaming rig and he wants a GPU that doesn't require an external PCIe connector because he wants to keep his power supply (which doesn't have PCIe power), as he can't afford to buy a new one.

I am thinking of a GTX 750Ti like this.

 

P.S. It shouldn't cost above $120-130...

well, what kind of power supply does he have? if it doesnt have any headroom even a 750ti could set it on fire.

I don't know, it's a generic 550W unit... So it should be able to deliver at least 350W which is enough, I think...

I'm fairly certain that there's a 950 without any additional power connectors.

750 TI or if there is a 950 without a power connector, cant remember if there is but i think there is

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

By Nvidia logic, running off 75W is a novelty instead of a downclocked/cut down product.

Therefore you pay more for it. lololol

By AMD's logic too. The R9 Nano was a downclocked Fury X without an AIO cooler while being launched at the same $650.

Huh where'd you get that from?

 

Link from pcpp to Amazon, last image, the socket is there

Same images on Microcenter

Link from pcpp to B&H - last image

Same image again on NCIX

The Asus website. http://www.asus.com/Graphics-Cards/MINI-GTX950-2G/ scroll down a bit.

At least it didn't cost more. And in reality, it costs less.

It costing less had nothing to do with AMD (same as the PCIE-less 950 having nothing to do with Nvidia). Board partners decide what prices to sell their products at, AMD just dictates the MSRP. 

 

In any event, I see the Nano as being just as bad as the powerless 950. Considering the costs and the fact that the Nano was just cut down (just in a different way).

Wrong model mate

This, also from Asus's website, matches the model number in your pcpp link

Want to redeem yourself? Provide a link to a retailer selling the MINI-GTX950-2G instead of the GTX950-M-2GD5

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814126100

c: (Why'd it take so long to find this.. I don't know) @PCGuy_5960 have an actual no PCIe power 950.
