Answer» so i was thinking about getting a new GPU and a friend of mine suggested his which is AMD HD 7770 2GB
my specs are I5-2400 3.10GHz
8GB RAM
my question is will it bottleneck with the cpu and will it be able to play new titles such as the witcher 3 on 1024x786 and med. settings ?Not sure what you mean by "will it bottleneck with the cpu".
We would need to know more about your setup, such as ram speed, motherboard, make/model of pc, hard drive or solid state drive, etc.
Also, the 7770 is an older card. If you have a set BUDGET, you might be able to get a newer/better card. If it's free, just install it and see if it's better.
to get a detailed report on your system's specs, get Speccy from here; https://www.piriform.com/speccy/builds
in Speccy, click File > Publish Snapshot > Copy to Clipboard > Close.
now you can paste(Ctrl+V) that link into a post.A 1050ti is $150.00 bucks right now...best value/performance card out right now...Okay so i just installed the card but when i press the power BUTTON nothing happens, i can see the screen light which means the case has electricity RUNNING through it but everytime i press the button nothing happens
Also i should mention that my MAX wattage for the PSU is 350W
And i libe in egypt so that 150$ card is probably 1000 L.E+Double check to see if the graphics card power adapter is plugged in. I double checked and its plugged in
Can this happen due to low wattage ?I dont know how to explain this but this time i connected my graphics card WITHOUT the 6 pin power cable
And it now works fine
My question now is, will this continue to work fine or will it blow up eventually ? Probably won't blow up. I wonder if it has some sort of low power mode built-in. It might be throttling down to compensate. Most graphics cards I've used SIMPLY won't work if the power is disconnected, though.
What's the rating on your power supply?i really don't know what you mean by rating
all i know is that im using an HP-COMPAQ 8200 elite mini tower
when it comes to PSUs im a bit of a noob sorry
but i really want to know if i should continue with this method or not

Wattage.... but the computer model helps too.... looks like you have a 320 watt power supply. You need a 450 watt power supply based on card specifications.
But i can see the card's fan spinning which means that it works
Right ??!No,
The fan takes nothing to power up...you cannot run that card on your current PSU...So what would happen if i continue using it ?

Not sure..... but let us know what happens!
I'm suspecting it might have some sort of low power mode that lets it work that way. But I have no way to be sure.
