Alright so where do I start...
I own an X51 R1 - one of the first release X51's with an i7 2600 and a GTX 555 OEM Card. I'm starting to notice FPS lag in newer games, which can only mean one thing... my GPU just can't handle some of the more strict requirements on new games and is starting to fall behind the times!
I've seen some pretty cool threads with some major graphics card upgrades inside this little box using the adapter plate that comes with the case.
Nvidia has released the GTX 750 Ti Maxwell GPU - which comes with a minimum 300W PSU requirement (my external is a 330W PSU for my R1). However, the EVGA cards for sale say they require a 400W PSU minimum with 20 Amps on the rail. (seen here: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487025) and this card takes its power right through the rail.
So here are my questions:
Will the 330W External PSU handle this card?
Will the dimensions fit?
Will the case adapter that turns the GPU sideways deliver the power required to this card (since that's where the power comes from)
Has anyone tried this yet?
Please advise.
