GPU Question/Help

[edanna]

So long story short I have an onboard shitty GPU from about 2-3 years ago I'm looking to upgrade it because 1. WoW runs at like 10 FPS on all low on fights such as Bot and overall never above 20-30.

I'm looking to buy it from bestbuy even though overpriced I have $100 in gift cards. I'm looking for around a budget of $75-130 preferably around the $100 range. Thanks again MMO-Champions.

You don't really have many options atm, try getting a gtx 1050ti, they usually at 130-140usd.

Few questions http://www.bestbuy.com/site/evga-nvi...?skuId=5679700 vs http://www.bestbuy.com/site/evga-nvi...?skuId=5668701 (Is there much of a difference for the price)

From the bench marks I looked at this seemed better too but I'm dog shit at computer and its on clearance

(So the 960 I linked is sold out in my area. The 950 based on benchmarks seems the best of the other 3? <Clueless> There is 3 left in my area and its the cheapest but is it the best?) Bench mark I'm looking at says 960>950>1050TI>1050 check these 4 cards (well 3 the one isn't avail)

1050 TI 4GB $149.99
1050 2GB $119.99
950 $116.99

The 950 is slower than the 960 and 1050, so that's out, and between the 960 and the 1050 Ti I'd go with the latter even though it's a bit pricier. The two GPUs are pretty evenly matched and the 1050 Ti draws less power and will probably be supported longer.

Since you have $100 in gift cards, if I had to choose between a $20 GTX 1050 and a $50 GTX 1050 Ti, I'd take the Ti any day.

What wattage power supply does your computer have eg a 300w, also does it have any gfx card power connectors eg 6pin pcie.
If you have a 300w and little room then either the 1050 or 1050ti from PNY should be fine

Pretty sound advice, just make sure your PSU isn't totally potato.

Will a Power Supply
Internal 460W (100V-240V)
Handle the 1050? 1050TI?

It will handle the 1050/1050ti no problem ( they only require pci-e slot power @75w). For literally anything else I'd want a picture of the power supply ratings label and confirmation of whether the psu has a PCI-E 6/8pin power connector

Pretty sure I'm going to go with the 1050 and grab it today. http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/p...ocId=c04453446 is my computer that can handle the 1050 right pal?
