Is It WORTH ME upgrading to GTX 1060 6GB FROM 1050 2gb NOW!!????

His PSU will run that card at 100% load no problem.  Guaranteed.  1000%.

 

As long as he can get daisychained molex or SATA to a 6 or 8 pin at least.  And it will work.  Just make sure you pull from separate lines on the PSU (I.E. run 1 rail for 1 connection only so 2 rails to create 1 6 or 8 pin connection)

if his PSU can actually do its rating (which I dont know), that is.

I'm just curious as to why he thinks he has no PCIe cables, or more so he didn't say "I don't have cables" but "I don't want to run cables to my graphics card"

beacuse i have no bloody pcie cable slots beacuse all My HDD AND SSD IS USING THEM 

 

and i just dont want to bother buying and plugging in extra cables to gpu XD

If you're using literally every cable your power supply has to spare, you're not gonna want to put any more load on that power supply. Trust me, a real power supply won't be that much more expensive on top of the 1060

Of course, you can wait for the 2050 ti

He sounds like a complete and utter newb to me when it comes to hardware lol

 

But his PSU is fine, even if it is old and crappy there are TONS of options for creating 6 or 8 pin connections.

no you cant, the card wont start

 

cheaping out a PSU is like cheaping out on a heart surgery, a super bad idea

idk wtf is going on

 

1050 and 1060 same ? beacuse i look at the thing it looks like they both just plug into pcie right? i dont see no extra plugs on the 1060 in amazon pictues WTF >>>

First you need to chill TF out.

 

You are looking for advise and responding way to fast that you clearly aren't understanding so take a breath, Ill start another post as will others I am sure.

No there is a required plug for the 1060.

no UH im not ./? my psu has them black square cables them right? i can see 1 or 2 spare ? idfk im jsut saying my 1050 has no plugs i have to plug in

Feel free to take pictures of the cables you have leftover, we'll tell you what the situation is

Lol im angry beacuse idk what is going on THO

 

right so what im saying is

 

i dont wanna buy a new psu but im gonna have to

 

 

2 . whats this thing about extra cable for gpu here? my 1050 has no cables it just plugs into motherboard BUT

 

in amaozn pictures no extra cables showN> it just looks like it goes into the same slot as 1050 which means its powered by motherboard RIGHT?

Google image search PCIe power cables, you'll get a good idea of what you need. They come in 6 pin and 6+2 pin flavors

For your level of knowledge:

 

GTX 1050 sucks compared to a GTX 1050ti compared to a GTX 1060.

 

GTX 1050 and GTX 1060 require the power in the PCIE SLOT (the slot that holds the card)

 

GTX 1060 REQUIRES additional power input from the Power Supply Unit (PSU) - either 6 pin or 8 pin I cant remember. 

 

You can create this from your PSU using either of these methods if you do not have what is traditionally called a 12v rail to use:

1060 needs more power than just the motherboard can deliver

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yeah................. sure. lol i mean i kinda get it ..... yeah

 

 

 

ok so shit i need to plug the psu cables into the gpu for power as well as the slot ok uhh im guessing shit ... idk .. im guessing it takes the spare psu things i have ?

 

but still i dont see where it plugs in ? beacuse i just watched youtube unboxng there aint no slot for power cables ?

and nvidiea ssite say

Imagine the PCIe pins are the "bottom" of the card, the video outputs are the "left" side, then the power plugs will be on the top right

Doesn't matter what the video shows or doesn't, this is the industry standard for GTX 1060.

 

Here is what you should see on the back of the GPU, and here is the connection from the PSU that will be required.

right......... so i just have to plug that square spare plug coming out of my gpu into the new 1060 right> right ok XD idk waht u meant earily but all that uh adapater and rail ??? but it looks like i have that in the photo ............................

 

now should i just put it in and power it with my psu ? beacuse it says nvidiea max 400 w or was it minimum? still i havea 500 so surely surely ? if not then fok me ill buy a new one AGAIN !

Your PSU is just fine.

 

Only way to find out that its a TRUE piece of trash is to use it.  From the specs you've given - your PSU is 100% compatible and okay.  Plus it has a 12v rail (6 pin power for GPU) from the sounds of it.

 

Im not sure about drivers but you should download DDU and remove your 1050 drivers and start fresh drivers with the 1060. 

 

Yes it will plug in just like the 1050 into the PCIE SLOT, then you will add that extra 6 pin power from the PSU, turn your PC on and it will act the same way it did with the 1050 when it was new.

 

Even if you didn't plug in the extra 12v rail - it wouldn't damage anything it just wouldn't turn the GPU on fully (just the fans would be powered from the slot likely)

wtf is rail? yeah i actaully dont know what u mean by this XD i know i shouldnt be touching computer ... which is why i didnt build it someone else did for me XDDDD i just can put a gpu in thats abou it............... well sitll have to make a question post tho XDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

 

what is it > so i plug in the psu thing to my gpu wtf is rail 12v> is that mean if i dont? which idk if i do its gonna go bang or somthign XDD ? well idk i guess if my whole computer blows up or dies i might as well kill myself XD it bloody better not either ill be seriously like pissed

 

 

i mean if its needs minimum of 400 i have 500 surley the i5 dont use 100w.... wekk actaully it might shit but uh yeah....

 

 

reason i bought this PSU is cuz it came with a 500 w cheap unbrnad psu but now everyone apart from u says this psu is ok so wtf?> was it pointles bying this psu or would the unbranded be worse than this one ? it was 500w but thats it didint say 80+ or any of that it was literally £12 psu XD

400 watts is recommended minimum, of course you can get away with a little less than that.

One important note: the "square connectors" can be different. The ones going to the CPU are not compatible with a graphics card, and vice versa. Make sure you are using a 6 pin and not a 4 pin.

Don't concern yourself with rails right now. If you have the appropriate plugs, you'll be alright.

Don't concern yourself with the CPU power consumption. A quad core will surely be below 100 watts.

12 pounds is not a good amount to pay for a power supply, something your whole PC is dependent on. At some point you should replace it, and I wouldn't have purchased it in the first place, but it will technically work, and you're better off not getting any seriously power hungry components in the PC until you get a more reliable unit. Off brand is always a risk for a PSU.

i cant tell beacuse my pc is on lol it looks like 6 but looks like 4 well not that i can tell without looking dammit XDDD

 

and what u mean ? there is cpu and GPU ONES ?

 

yeah thats one i  HAD

 

now i have the xfx one but it didi have branded so would this xfx one be better that nthat branded i guess?

you can turn your PC off and look, not a bad idea. Snap a photo so we can confirm for you.

Yes, there are different power pins for CPU and GPU. They make sure to design them differently so you don't accidentally use them wrong, but some people have managed to force the pins in the wrong holes, which is a system killer. We'll make sure you know what you're getting into

The XFX power supply was the £12? you can probably use it just fine but don't expect much.
