“Is the power supply adequate for an added graphic card?”

1-5 of 5 Answers

• Not really. The power supply that comes with this PC is only 180w and does not come with any cables to power a decent graphics card. It can do something like a GT 1030 (which doesn’t require an extra power cable) but not an RTX 3050 (which does)

• The 180w power supply, included with the i5 version of this P.C., is inadequate for any kind of gaming graphics card if that is what you are looking for. Even an RTX 3050 recommends a minimum of 400w. You might be able to use a GT 1030 but that isn’t much of an upgrade over the integrated graphics. According to passmark, the 1030 is only about 33% faster.

• The power supply shipped will depend on the processor and the GPU included in the configuration. This desktop configuration includes Intel 13th Generation Core i5 13400 processor, Intel UHD Graphics 730, and the power supply included is 180 watts. If you add a discrete GPU to this desktop you will require a compatible power supply to support it, for more details on GPU upgradation, we recommend contacting Dell Technical Support for assistance after the purchase. They are available on Facebook and Twitter(@Dellcares).
