GT 710 to GTX 1050 Ti

sandy700

I have been given a GTX 1050 Ti graphics card to replace my GT 710 graphics card.

However my computer case is narrower than a standard case so I cannot fit the GTX card into it.

Is it worth my while buying a new standard size case and transferring everything to it so that I can fit the GTX graphics card or will the increase in performance not be all that noticeable?

Or is there some sort of adapter that I could use?

Windows 11 OS.

Do you need the new graphics card?   Increased performance at what?  General computer use no difference.

The GT 710 is an archive budget cheap as chips card.

The GTX 1050 Ti (while best part of five/six years old now) will wipe the floor with it in every way - assuming you need the performance.

If all you do on the computer is go on the internet and type the occasional letter and do nothing gaming wise, its pointless putting the card in.  If you game it may be worth doing.

Also you will need a decent power supply to run that card, or at least something with a decent amount of output.
