Graphics card for 300w power supply

[matthewt]

Im looking for a budget graphics card which can run most games on medium-high graphics, i would not be prepared to spend any more than £100.
Ok so i have a P8H61- MX R2.0 motherboard which supports 16 PCI Express 3.0 lane
Intel i5 3330 processor
300w power supply
Could anyone reccomend a graphics card for me, it would also have to be fairly compact as my case isnt huge.

[matthewt]

Ok why is that?

What power supply do you have? You can get a GTX 750 Ti for £114.

But I have a 600W Power Supply Ill see if the 750 will work with a 300W

[matthewt]

Oh i am not sure what brand sorry.. i would just like to be able to run games such as dayz on medium settings.

Nvidia GTX 750 should do it, but 300W power supply is very ambiguous. If it's a no-name that can't deliver those 300W... Anyway, Amazon UK has GTX 750 at 80-90 pounds, Corsair CX430 is 35 pounds.

Its reccomended 400W but people are using it with 300W and they are getting along quite good so you're choice here

[matthewt]

Ok thanks for your help guys

750ti is a very low power gpu, designed to run on most 300w oem power supplies

List the brand/model# specs off your current Power Supply.
Alot of those cheaper ones can't handle a full 300-watts.

If it's a decent 300 watt or better, GTX 750 or 750 Ti should be fine. But that is all. Any higher GPUs and u will want a better PSU.

GTX 750 ti, or GTX 750 if you can't afford the ti version.

Those are the best 2 cards currently able to run on a 300W PSU.

However for 100 GBP you can also get a R7 260X and a new PSU like so:

Asus Radeon R7 260X 1GB Direct CU II Video Card
EVGA 500W 80+ Certified ATX Power Supply

Total: £100.25

I'd suggest the R7 260X as a lot better than the GTX 750 and in my opinion also better than the GTX 750 ti though for some applications it will vary.

NVidias driver support is way better though.

if getting a better power supply, might as well go for a r9 card
r9 270 is around $130, and you can get a quality 500w psu for around $30

$60 more, but the gpu is twice as strong
