GTX 650 2GB in my ASUS N13219?

[Avi]

Hey there! I would love it if you guys/girls could give me some advice on if I can upgrade my computer a bit.

------------------------------------------------------------------
Current specs:

PC: HP p6-2065sc (if checked correctly)
Intel Core i5-2320 CPU 3.0 GHz.
RAM: 6GB DDR3 1333MHz (If remembered correctly).
Motherboard: ASUS N13219
GT 530 2GB I'm sure it's 2GB but if I check "dxdiag" it says: 4047mb ;O

PSU: HP- D3006A0
AC INPUT(50-60hz): 100-240V~/6A
DC OUTPUT +5.08V /25a , +12v /19a
+3,3V /18A , -12V /0.3A
+ 5,08Vsb /2A
Max Output Power 300W.
------------------------------------------------------------------

So help me out please. Could I put a "ASUS GeForce GTX 650 2GB PhysX CUDA" in there?

Or would I need a better PSU? It says the card only required 75W though.

Would love some answeres and thoughts in the matter :)

over 1g of ram on a gt530 is useless, its not fast enough to use it

gtx650 is a better card, the psu should be ok with the lower power i5

[Avi]

Hehe, I got this card when I bought the computer so. Allright. That sounds good. Does it matter if the GTX650 has 1 or 2GB then? O mean is it "fast" enough to use the extra GB?

[_I_]

650 is close, it has faster memory bandwitdth
youll still need to turn some settigns down in newer games

the ti ver will need a bigger power supply, since its around a 100w card

[Avi]

Yeah. But I've read that many games on Stean don't support Ti? Besides I don't have much money so ^^

[_I_]

the ti is fine with any game that uses dx/ogl
its a similar card, same ram bus width at a higher speed and more cores/tmus

[Avi]

Allright :) Thanks for the input :)

GTX 650 would not work with 300W generic PSU.
Only thing that would work without replacing the PSU is HD 7750.

DXDIAG never displays the GPU VRAM correctly, as it always will display what the VRAM is according to what the OS says it is when counting in the amount of "Shared RAM"

To properly view your GPU's VRAM in Windows, click Start Menu, type sys in Search Box, once the entries come up, click on System Information. Then double-click on Components and click on Display. Your GPU VRAM will be listed under Adapter RAM.

Not a bad setup though for a pre-build. I would not waste my time with a regular GTX 650 however, as it ranks right around that of a GTX 550 Ti or Radeon 6770.

If you really need a GPU upgrade, best bet is to upgrade the PSU as well. You can get a decent one (like Corsair CX600) for fairly cheap. This will allow overall stability and breathing room for GPU upgrade. Then I would look at GTX 650 Ti Boost at the very least. The BOOST is actually right on par with a non-Ti GTX 660.

[Avi]

Allright. I'll try that. Thank you :) But as soon as the size fits and all then all I need is a better PCU?? How much W should I have?

[Avi]

This brings me to my next question in that case...would http://cdon.se/hemelektronik/corsair/corsair-power-supply-750w-cx750-80-plus-bronze-p21291808 fit in my computer? I mean is it compatible with my motherboard, i5 and so on?

That PSU will fit fine.

[Avi]

So I don't have worry about that it wont fit in my computer? As long as the size is right?

Yes, as long as meets/exceeds the ATX12V 2.xx standard and has the needed plugs for your components, then u should be fine.

Overall, most PSUs of the ATX standard are roughly the same physical dimensions. Unless they are for a specific system type, like Mini-ATX or something along those lines.

[Avi]

...wich it was. It's a little deep because my PSU is 5.5 inch long and the "new" one would be 6.3 inch.

Hmm...didn't understand much of that. Hehe. ATX12V 2.xx? So...the cord that goes from the PSU to the motherboard says EATXPWR on the motherboard where that's plugged in. This is really ♥♥♥♥ing with my brain 8[ Why can't there just be a list to check what's compatible with what x3 Where can I see what plugs I have ;O A name or so?

Long as the power supply meets the watts/amps u need for GPU, you should be fine.
The rest pretty much fall into place.

For your system u need the following...
> 24pin Main ATX Power Cable
> 4pin 12V CPU Power Cable
> at least 2x 6 or 8 pin PCI-E Power Cables (depending on what your GPU card requires)

> minimum of 2x 4pin Molex cables (for components)
> minimum of 2x SATA power cables (for ssd/hdd/odd drives)

The chosen PSU far exceeds your needs when comes to the cables. As far as wattage/amps, a CX600 would do just fine. But nothing wrong with going a little higher, like CX750.
