That's a good question.

I have no idea why that card is working in a PCIe x16 slot rated at only 35 W.

The specs have to be wrong, or because he installed the card in the wrong slot, it is not using its full power.

The PCI express revison of the slot in your PC is 2.0, as you can see from the chipset specs from Intel at the link below.

I have the older 8200 Elite CMT with the Q67 chipset, PCIe x revision 2.0 and I am running the GT1030 in mine just fine.

so card needs x3 i got x2 means? lower performance?

and finally 😄 i can install the new card to improve frames? 75w from pcie? both gtx 1650 and gtx 1050 ti says 75 from pcie...

[Paul_Tikkanen]

Yes, you probably won't get the maximum performance out of the 2.0 slot but there is nothing you can do about that.

Certainly the 1050ti is going to run circles around the GT 710 you have in there now.

[dimi21]

im not going to have problems with power? ty!

[Paul_Tikkanen · Accepted solution]

Nope.

Your power supply meets the 300W requirement and the PCIx slot is rated at 75W.

Just make sure you plug the card in the black video card slot, not the white one.

Also check your GT710 to make sure that is in the black slot.

It is a common mistake to install the card in the wrong slot, since they look exactly the same.

thank you very much.... i think ill go for the gtx 1650... a low profile one fan 😄

[Paul_Tikkanen]

Anytime.

Glad to have been of assistance.

Please post back and let us know how the graphics card upgrade went.

Have you buy the GTX 1650 Card? Which model?

Does it work fine?

I'm interesting to install a new GPU card.

[dimi21]

yeap works fine.. currently im playing rainbow six siege and warhammer martyr....

(my i3-3220 is a bit old would need an upgrade but ok...  8gb ram and im running windows 7 which gonna stop supported from january 2020)

it works nice.... im having the msi with 1 fan the small one aero itx....

but since motherbaord can handle 75w other cards that dont need extra pin will work too... i think...
