1050ti PCIe power draw -- will it be OK?

[H4X3R]

Hi,

I am planning to purchase a 1050ti that draws all its power from the pcie connector. My problem is that the pc i will be using it in is a prebuilt acer tc 710.

Will there be any problems when it comes to the power draw? (I believe its a pcie 2.0 x16 connector)

 

Thanks

We just recently had someone having trouble running that gpu on a lowly 200w psu. When they reduced the power draw maximum to 85% it stabilized. 

I'm guessing you might be reffering to the low profile 1050 in which case yeah you'd want a semi ok 350 ish watt unit. so it has wiggle room for it's probable cheapness.

Unless it comes with a 6PIN power connector on the card itself, it shouldn't be a problem.

AMD had some issue's with their cards drawing too much from the PCIe slot itself.

What 1050ti is that? Could you give us the product name? Nearly all GPUs have a special SHUNTs for the PCIe power draw. But it has a 75 Watt TDP what would be in line with what a PCIe slot can provide (as far as I know)

Yeah im getting a used 650W thermaltake psu.

Gigabyte OC (not windforce).

Was just afraid the mobo would of too low quality, guess ill wait and see.

Check how much power the power supply provides. Most prebuilt office pcs come with about 200-250w. 
200w may be fine with slightly reduced power limit as mentioned above. 
 

250w will be perfectly fine. Anything more and you'l have no issues at all.

if you're replacing the power supply then why are you asking about power draw concerns?
