I want to install a graphics card, is the power supply enough?

If you don't change the power supply, the 9500GT can be used.

But the CPU with such a strong E8400 is actually equipped with 9500GT?This is really outrageous, you buy a brand machine and then plan to upgrade the graphics card, right?

I think you'd better change the power supply too, and change to a Kangshu IP430 rated at 380W, ** which is about 300. Then upgrade a GTX260+ or GTS250 graphics card. Of course, if you're not going to spend more than 1,000, I don't say it.

LZ let me tell you, it's completely possible, 9500GT full load power consumption is less than 70W, E8400 full load power consumption is less than 100W, plus others, the full load power consumption of the whole machine is about 200W, no problem at all.

Unless your power supply is a fictitious power rating, or +12V is less than 13A, there is no way there is a problem.

The E8400 must also be equipped with a 9800GT 4830 or above graphics card.

Dilan Henderson's 4850 Polaris This card is good.

The power supply is rated at 400W, and the Great Wall Quad-Core King is recommended.

Not enough, the power supply can't work for a long time under full load, the graphics card can't be added, the minimum graphics card should also be 60W, the main version should be 20W, the memory 25W*2, the hard disk 60W, and your U should be 90W at full load

250 is very reluctant, it is recommended to go up to 300w

Your CPU is good, E8400 with 9600GT, the graphics card is a little low-end, and then with 9600GSO, I'm a little sorry for your CPU.

It's no problem to install 9500, 8400 with 9500 is really wronged 8400 ah -,-

More than 300 watts will do.

The power consumption of 9500 is not high, don't worry.

I don't know who gave you the machine, but it's a pity that you have 8400.

A 300W power supply can drive a graphics card up to 150W.

Because there are three main power consumption of a computer, one is the motherboard, and the motherboard generally needs 20 30W of power. One is the CPU, because the brand is different and the model is different, the electrical power required is wider, from 50W to 100W.

Another is the graphics card, because the GPU of the graphics card is different, the power consumption is very different, but it can be based on whether it has an auxiliary power socket, the socket uses a few pins, and the maximum power supply capacity of the PCI E interface of the computer is 75W.

Just plug the external power plug to the graphics card.

Then insert the graphics card into the PCI-E slot. If the external power plug of the graphics card is not enough, you can buy the adapter money.

The following figure shows the external power cable of the graphics card;

The picture below shows the external power cord jack.

Independent graphics card, referred to as independent graphics card, is called independent graphics card in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, which refers to an independent board card that needs to be inserted into the corresponding interface of the motherboard, generally PCI-E X16 interface. Discrete graphics cards are divided into built-in discrete graphics cards and external graphics cards.

A discrete graphics card is a graphics card that exists in the form of a discrete board and can be freely plugged and unplugged on a motherboard with a graphics card interface. Discrete graphics cards have separate video memory and do not occupy memory capacity, and mid-to-high-end discrete graphics cards perform better than core graphics cards, providing better display and running performance. As an important part of the computer host, the graphics card is very important for people who like to play games and work in professional graphic design.

At present, the leading manufacturers of graphics chips for civilian graphics cards mainly include AMD (i.e., A card, formerly ATI) and NVIDIA (i.e., N card).

I think it's enough. The video memory is not important, the more important thing is the bit width, and the one that reaches 256 bit width is the best goods. What's better? Shadow Race, Sunflower, Gengsheng, there are more brands, and MSI and other graphics cards that can bring up better, uaqiyw

300 is enough, you can go up to the 9800gt level, it's not necessary.

The most powerful graphics card that can be driven by a rated 300W power supply is GTX750, because the power consumption of GTX750 is only 55W, only this graphics card can run normally without changing the power supply, and GTX750 is a mid-range performance-level graphics card, which is considered a mainstream configuration of the graphics card, it is very good to use this graphics card, and the following are the graphics card parameters of GTX750:

Video memory capacity: 2048MB.

Memory bit width: 128 bits.

Core frequency: 1020 1084MHz.

Video memory frequency: 5000MHz.

Streams: 512.

Graphics card power consumption: 55W.

Rest assured, the power consumption of the graphics card is only tens of watts, and your 300 rating is enough.

You can add a general graphics card to this configuration, and it's useless to have a graphics card that is too expensive, and the power supply is fine.

Send your computer configuration list, at least you have to send a specific model of your computer CPU, you need to provide a configuration list, check the overall performance of your computer, whether it is suitable to drive a suitable graphics card, and then you need to go through the configuration sheet, calculate how much power your host has left for the independent display card to allocate to the graphics card.

If your CPU is i3 4160 and the power consumption is 55W, then it can be calculated that the maximum normal power consumption of the graphics card = 300 - CPU 55W - motherboard memory hard disk 50W - rich power 50W = 145W

This can drive GTX660 140W, 7850 130W, GTX650TI Boost 130W, GTX750Ti 75W, GTX950 90W, GTX960 120W, GTX Ti 70W, RX460 80W, R9 370 100W

If it's a typical configuration, there shouldn't be any problem.

Based on the configuration of the ninth generation i5 with 1660, the power consumption of the whole machine is generally about 250W, as long as your power supply is fully 400W, then there is a power margin of 150W, which can ensure the stable operation of the system.

For your situation, in addition to your power problem, I also consider a question is whether the 400W power supply you have on hand has an additional power supply interface, and whether it supports this graphics card?

That is to say, in addition to sufficient power, you also need a power supply interface with eight ports.

According to the figure below, you can see that this power is barely strong, and I believe that it will be especially significant if you turn on high image quality.

What I suspect is not that he can't drive the belt, but that if you turn on the high image quality, the performance may be stretched.

The band is moving, but you also need to explain the power of your motherboard, CPU, and main hardware. Because it's just that the power of the graphics card GTX 1660 Super is roughly below 150W, and the remaining power is not enough for other hardware use, so you have to calculate it yourself.

Barely able to move, not a card on the line, n card is more energy-saving.

It's a pity that there is a shortage of diseases in the United States now, and there are no games anymore, and the graphics cards are running at low power consumption.

If the power supply on the computer does not have a graphics card interface, you need to buy a large 4D interface to connect the graphics card 6pin power supply cable, the specific installation steps are as follows:

Step 1: Prepare a large 4D connector to connect the 6pin power supply cable of the graphics card.

Step 2: Locate the two large 4D ports on your computer's power supply.

Step 3: Connect the two large 4D ports on the computer power supply and the large 4D connector of the graphics card together.

Step 4: Install the discrete graphics card on your computer and find the 6-pin power connector on the graphics card.

Step 5: Connect the 6-pin power connector of the graphics card to the 6-pin power connector on the graphics card, so that the power cable of the graphics card is connected.

It's very simple, just plug in the corresponding interface.
