Graphics cards without additional power supply

Graphics cards without additional power supply

— graphics cards that do not require a separate additional power supply — such adapters receive all the necessary power through the main connection connector on the motherboard. Modern PCI-E connectors are capable of providing power up to 75 watts; this is relatively small by the standards of graphics cards, so models without additional power usually belong to entry-level solutions with low performance. Nevertheless, such a card may well turn out to be the best choice — for example, if a relatively weak power supply is installed in the computer, and there is no way to change it yet.
