“Will card upgrade my Dell desktop to support a 1920 x 1080 res.? Power supply on machine is small so would this card be compatible? I have a Dell desktop that I'd like to upgrade. The highest resolution that it currently supports is 1400 x 1050. I'm looking for a way to get it to support a resolution of 1920 x 1080. The machine that I'm looking to upgrade has a small power supply. This card requires 12v @ 16A (whatever that is). Is this the right card for me? I'm not a gamer so I'm not looking for anything super powerful or high-end.”

That may only be a limitation of your monitor. some older monitors will only run at 1400x1050 or 1600x900. Id recommend looking up your monitor's specs or getting an updated monitor first. You can always return the monitor if it doesn't fix the 1080 resolution issue.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This will surely support 1920x1080. Also it doesn't require additional power.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Mine runs 1920x1080 very well. You'd need to open the side panel of your desktop to see the specs on the internal power supply. I have no idea what yours will say - but for what it's worth, the stock power supply in my Asus desktop (450 W) runs this GPU just fine. It's one reason I went with this GPU, so I didn't have to also switch out the power supply.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It requires a 350 watt power supply
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Firstly I doubt the machine only supports 1400 x 1050, I'd suspect your monitor is your limit there. But in the event I am wrong, this card will allow you to run 1920 x 1080 (aka 1080p). As for if you can use it, I don't see any reason why not since there is no power inputs on the card and the card would have to stick to PCI-x power consumption specs. That being the case, you should be fine. Although if not remember you can always return the card if it isn't compatible.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Need 300 W minimum.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes it would and do not have to upgrade your power supply.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you have a desktop you should be able to swap out for a better power supply, they are usually cheap. Do that first. Once you have the power, buy the card. The reason you are running at low resolution could be one of many. It could be your Windows settings, it could be the wire you are using, it could be what your monitor supports, it could be what your card supports, it could be old drivers. Too hard to say. Sorry.
