If you get a card with a 6-pin or 8-pin power connector, then it will not pull all power through the x16 slot.


For example, a 1650 super (at 100Watts) can pull 50 watts through 6 pin and 50 watts through the x16 slot.

If the power limit in Afterburner is lowered to 80%, then 40 watts through the 6 pin and 40 watts through the x16 slot.


If you get a graphics card without a power connector, then all power comes through the x16 slot.

I believe there are some 1050 Ti with power connectors but not all.


There is also the AMD 5500 XT but it only has 8 pci-e lanes, which means pci-e 3.0 x8 on your motherboard.

Some gpu have 6 -pin power connectors and some have 8-pin power connectors.
