Solved What Is The Best Graphics Card That Will Run On a 220w PSU?

What is the best graphics card that will run on a 220w PSU?

I have an Acer Aspire x1301. It came with a discrete Geforce 210, but it’s just not up to par to run Star Wars new MMO. I’ve checked into replacing the PSU to get a good card, but it appears it’s some proprietary model and unless I swap the case I’m stuck at 220W.

Other than the hard drive and dvd drive, I’m not running anything else on the PSU. What’s the best low profile GPU that I could run here?

Thanks in advance

      There’s 6 different PSUs listed on that page, all 220W. The one you listed has 14A on the +12v rail. Here’s a link:

      Looks like a TFX type. Here’s a 300W unit with two +12v rails at 18A each:

      From what I can tell, your Acer didn’t come with that graphics card, so why did you buy it? The 210 isn’t a gaming card & a little searching would have told you that.

      If you don’t want to pay for a new card & a PSU, this Radeon HD 5570 should work with your current PSU & give considerably better performance:

      EDIT: See response # 16 for PSU info.
