Hey everyone, i was looking to put together an htpc and i have some stuff laying around, so i only need a graphics card. Now the thing is, i only have a 300 watt PSU, and it doesnt have any left over cables, so are there any graphics cards with hdmi that suck power from the mobo?
AMD Radeon HD 6670
Hmm 75 euros here in europe, i have a good deal on the passively cooled 5670, woukld that be any good? else ill just go for the the 6670.
Most lower end graphics cards aren't going to have to use connectors from your PSU because they don't utilize enough power. Just go with anything that will run HD video and you'll be fine.
the most powerful low profile card at the moment is the 7750, it does not use any PCI-E power pin connectors
but if you just want HD video a 6670 will be PLENTY, pretty sure a 6570 could handle it and newer intel intergrated like 2500/4000
