My existing computer configuration includes: a motherboard, MSI H81M-P33; 2GB of RAM; an Intel Pentium G3220 processor; a 500W power supply unit; and a Radeon R7 250 with 2GB of video memory. I recently purchased a GTX 1050 TI 4G with a 128-bit DDR5 memory interface, and after examining my power supply, I discovered an unused 6-pin connector. Considering that I’m not highly experienced with computers, I would appreciate your understanding and guidance as I proceed.

The graphics card lacks a six-pin connector, according to this specification: https://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop...ifications. I believed it received its total power requirement (75 watts) directly from the expansion slot.

Some GeForce GTX 1050 models necessitate a six-pin connector for power. Employ a six-pin PCIe cable to connect the card from your power supply unit.

I appreciate your response very much. It appears to have a six-pin connector, and my PCU does indeed possess the port shown in the image. Could you clarify whether MSI offers compatibility with this graphics card?
