Recommended low power card
My friend purchased a cheaper HP desktop that has only an integrated graphics card. I looked at the specs on his power supply a ways back and it's only a 300 watt power supply. I know this doesn't leave him with very many options, but I can't seem to find a good way to tell what amount of wattage is needed for cards (on say newegg). Can anyone recommend a low power card that would be acceptable for gaming (preferably with GDDR5 and under $100). I don't want to pick him a card that won't work on his system.
And yes, it does have a pcie 2.0 slot, and it's not a low profile bracket.
Thank you to anyone who can help.
