Will an EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti SC Gaming work with my Insipron 3668?

Woody J,

Great that it is working. But I doubt that our Dell OEM (original equipment manufacturer) video card clock settings match the retail version. Ours are usually under-clocked.

Hi DELL - Chris M,

I realise that I’m very likely showing just how little I know about PC hardware and the like, but does your reply indicate that the possible non-matched video card clock settings from the third party card I’ve installed could cause a degradation in performance? The PC is currently running like a dream. My main worry was the increased demand on the CPU but the above list indicates that one of the Dell validated cards also requires 75w, this on top of the additional needs of an i7 CPU (my 3668 uses an i5 CPU).

CORRECTION: ... increased demand on the PSU...

"degradation in performance", doubtful. My point was "if" the retail video card has higher memory and GPU clocks, it could push our 240w PSU beyond its capabilities.
