Should I Upgrade PSU After Fitting Seperate Graphics Card?
A knowledgeable friend recently diagnosed that the problems with my old Acer M3910 desktop were caused by the onboard/intergrated GPU. He fitted a seperate Geforce 210 graphics card into the apropriate slot. Everything now works fine.
Today, just out of curiosity, I was watching a video about installing new mother boards and CPUs in old PCs. In the video he mentioned that if you change from intergrated to seperate GPU you should upgrade the power supply to one with a higher output.
As everything is running perfectly, do I need to change the 250W unit that's fitted at present? I don't use the pc for gaming, just browsing, watching videos, etc. Thanks for any advice.
