Hi, I have the trident 3 11400f model and was thinking of upgrading my gpu to the 4060. It would appear from specs online to be running on similar wattage to the 1660. Would this likely work without a change in power supply? I currently have an original 230w which i would be happy to change if I could find an oem 330, which was been hard in the UK. Thank you.

As I said above a few posts before yours a 230W adapter is fine for a vanilla 4060, it's likely a 5060 would be of similar wattage as well a couple of years from now as Nvidias xx50 and xx60 series will now continue to use designed for mobile chips.

Yes PCI-e is NVMe.

My MSI Trident 3 vr7rc-020us currently has a NVIDIA GTX 1060 3gb card. I know based on my PC that I can put in a GTX 1060 6GB card. I wanted to specifically if a MSI GeForce GTX 1060 Aero ITX 6G OC 6GB GDDR5 Graphics Card would work. There are so many options that it is a little confusing.

Thanks

Hello everyone, I have bought a used msi trident 3, seems to have a mix of 8th gen and 9th gen parts
i5 8400
gtx 1660 6gb oc
512gb ssd
16gb ddr4
In system settings it says h310 b920.
I am wondering if I should put a 2060 (30% of what i paid for this thing, or 3060(69% of what i paid for this), or the lower power 4060(90% of what i paid for this pc ($430 used cad) if I will be okay with the existing 220w psu, as well as if my computer is easily compatable with the delta 330w psu. Thanks

It can be upgrading to RTX 2060 and RTX 2070 and power supply also upgrading to 330W.

Thanks for your response but why not the 4060? It has a much lower power draw than both of those cards and could probably keep the original 230w psu?

I literally answered this two posts above you. If you wanna just ask questions to go Reddit.

Be smart dude, it's a forum, not like that been asked a hundred times already.

FYI for anyone keen on purchasing a 330W adapter, the SlimQ 330W is smaller and lighter with a touch more power headroom. I've been told It can output up to 450W for short periods so it appears better than the OEM version which the specs say tops out at 400W. You will need to purchase the appropriate adapter for it which is on their site. It's about$70 USD more expensive which is probably better spent on a system with better thermal management but hey.. I thought it was worthwhile mentioning.
