MEDION ERAZER P66041 (MD 34254): Adding Geoforce GTX 1650

[skotlanti]

I'm trying to swap the graphics card in my son's MEDION ERAZER P66041 (MD 34254) [MSN: 10022640] for a Geoforce GTX 1650. Do we need an additional power cable, and if so what spec.?

Thanks.

Hi,

It is a Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1650 D6 OC 4GB Graphics Card GV-N1656OC-4GD V2.

Here's the Amazon link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08KHPQQXM?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

I hope that's enough info.

Thanks

Hi @skotlanti ,

I´m a bit unsure, bout my opinon, due to the fact, that I didn´t find any similar configuration of your system with a B360H4-EM in combination with a GTX 1650 D6 OC 4GB card. The 1650 has a bigger power consumption as the 1050, whichg can turn out to be a factor becaus of your current PSUP , which has 250 Watts.

I´d give it a try

As Major_TOM already mentioned the chosen GTX 1650 needs an extra portion power which it gets through a 6-pin yellow-black powercable.

But your  Fortron FSP250-50MDN hasn't got such an extra cable. It provides 250 W in total. Which should be sufficient, except the missing extra 6-pin cable. 

So the graphic card (and performance) depends on the 75 Watt the PCIe x16 slot provides. Maybe you should keep in mind to get a stronger PSU (Power Supply Unit) which utilizes the full power the GTX 1650 can offer; to give your son more fun with the better graphic.
