Gt 1030 vs gt1050 or 1050 ti

[The Stranger]

I am new to PC gaming so I don't know a lot; I'm building my first computer. I recently bought a Dell Optiplex 790 with a core i5 2500, quad core 3.3 ghz, 4 gb ram and 250 hdd( but i have a 2 tb external). The pcie slot is limited to 35 Watts so I thought about getting the gt 1030 because i wouldnt have to upgrade the power and it is a 35 watt card. But then I also thought about getting the GTX 1050 or 1050ti that has a 6 pin for power because the pcie slot only supplys 35. I will mostly be playing games like overwatch and battlefeild, gta, i really want to play some survival games like dead by daylight on pc... but i can play the more graphic oruebted games on xbox for now anf upgrade later if need be.
I guess what I'm asking is it a big deal to run a 75 watt card on a 35 watt pcie slot? Do I need to get a GPU that has a 6-pin 4 power to make this work? And also im wondering when they wome out with new graphics cards. I dobt want to spend $175 on this gigabyte 1050 ti gaming processorbif they are gona come out with the next gen in a couple months. Please no look at other forms this is already been asked answers, I have done a lot of looking and I'm tired of it lol. Thank fotmr the help guys.

New or used? If you bought it new you got scammed. I wouldn't pay more then 100-150 usb for a machine like that.

Don't bother buying a GPU for a machine like that it will not fit in the case and the PSU will most likely not be powerfull enough since the PSU in those dell prebuilds only supply enough power for the stock configuration.

Start saving up for a whole new PC and don't buy old used prebuild Dells.

if you buy a desktop pc, at least you should have better performance than laptops!
with these cards, you re going to have less performance than a gaming notebook!
in desktop pc builds you must take in consideration another level of gpus (titanx for example)

If you want to use that system the 1030 is the best option

It is the mid size tower i know it will fit. I onoy paid 130 for it. I can fit the dual fan 1050 ti gaming from gigabyte, all i will have to do is disconnect the front usb ports for it to fit. My question is more about when do they release new generations of graphics cards and if i shoulf get the gt 1030 to hold me over or if i should just get the gtx 1050 or 1050 ti.
I also am wondering what would happen if i bought a 75 w gpu and put it in a 35 w pcie slot. I am mostlikely buying the one with the 6 pin for power if i go with the gtx 1050 or the ti.

Will i be able to play the games i want smoothly, i know i wont have the best resolution.

If you put a 75w card without a power connector into a 35w slot it won't work

Probably at midsettings and 720p

Your i5 is also slightly better than their i3

Also next gen Nvidia cards probably will take another year

Don't get the 1030, get a used 750Ti instead as it's better in almost everyway.

After testing these cards for almost 15 hours straight I've finally found a winner. But should you buy Nvidia's $70 GT 1030, AMD's $80 RX 550 or can a used $50 GTX 750Ti still hold it's own an beat...

Not price, $70 v $110

The 1030 is overpriced anyway...

I have seen videos of people running the smaller profile gtx 1050 ti with the 35 wat slot. Is it straining their system, or not letting the card work to its full potential? Since the new nvidia cards wont come out for a while is it worth it to spend $175 on a gigabyte gtx 1050 ti gaming gpu since it has the 6 pin for power, i would also have to buy a new psu if i go this route so its going to be considerably more pricy. Is it worth the money, is the 1050 ti a good match for my cpu or even the regular 1050

Isnt the 1050 better than the 750? Its like the same price

I meant as an alternative to getting a 1030, though the 1050 is slightly better than the 750Ti.

besides AKing no offense you asked recently alot about hardware and the community here made a build for you as you clearly needed help with it. This hardly makes you an expert to start giving advices about pc building.

A GT (not GTX) 1030 is NOT a gaming GPU and therefor for new PC builds even when on budget a terrible choice as you pretty much can trash it in a short time if you want to play higher then with lowest settings. So a used 750Ti goes for far less and still has way more performance. If you need an absolt low cost GPU you take a used one from older generations.
If you can afford then 1050 Ti is the lowest you should go nowadays as you mostly need more then 2GB VRAM.
Nvidia just release 2 month ago the Titan Xp and Volta is coming already. GTX-20 Gen. will proberly come this year already and might even in Q3.

Are any of these new processors being released im my budget of around 170 at most, or should i just go with 1050... and since my pcie slot is only rated for 35 watts, do i need ome with a 6 pin. I have seen youtube videos of people with the optiplex with the 1050 ti without 6 pin working. Just wondering if it caises strain on gpu or ehat the deal is.

well the GPU's are connected with pins to the PSU they dont collect all their power through the PCIe slot witha few exeptions like the 1050 and 3GB 1060. I seriosly doubt that they will be in your price range when released but then all other GPU's cost going to drop drastically. So if you dont want to wait for the release of the new GPU's go with a 1050 better yet with a 1050 Ti which has 4GB VRAM that also helps alot.

Thabks man, do you think the 1030 would hold me over till the prices drop. Just to play like overwatch and some other less graphcly intense games.

Why would you spend $70 on a GPU that goes in the garbage can after a few months? Then it is better to just buy the overpriced GPU.
