i used to have 1050ti palit stormx without pcie power. maybe some rx 6500 or rtx 3050 version will be able run like that.
yeah but they suck in hash rate compared to the rtx a2000
70 watts and 40mh with no mods. no wire.

the op fucked up he was supposed to buy rtx a2000 or not buy at all.
he wanted slot only and no card compares to the rtx a2000

Didn't you say you wanted decent hash rate?
If you're doing what I think you're doing you're asking for trouble. Don't be foolish.
This is why I agree with you. The OP needs to seriously consider changing his system to accommodate video cards with 1 PCIe power connector.If you're doing what I think you're doing you're asking for trouble. Don't be foolish.
The low-power <75w cards are bad for overall profitability when considering the cost of all the system parts. This is why gaming communities don't like these low-end GPUs either. The best value is usually in the RTX 3060/RTX 3070 or RX 6700 range.
I did build a mining rig with 75w cards in the past. It had eight RX 560 4GB's which did 13 Mh on ETH (the DAG was 3GB back then). I thought I could save $$ on power splitters. But I was totally wrong, since it was 20% more expensive per Mh than a comparable RX 570 rig.
Thanks to everyone for the valuable advice in the end I opted for now on 2 1650 are 75 watts without additional power i know they are not very powerful on hash rate but in the future with a little more availability i will buy better cards

You should have gotten gtx1650 super instead, they have a better hashrate than the normal 1650, anyway I'm glad you make your choice yourself, happy mining.

You know that you can´t mine ETH with this cards? Because they have only 4GB vram?

there are many GPUs in the past that are built the same way and they work very well,
And they are all weak miners. Stop trolling.
IMO there is none. No GPU without extra power connections is suitable for mining.
Mining needs power, the more the better. Arbitrarilly requiring a low power configuration
has a direct effect of the performance.
If your PSU doesn't have the necessary power cable you should upgrade your PSU to
support a more powerful GPU.
If you can read you would have seen that the first post or comment in this section says that a A2000 GPU has no extra power connector on them, they use the whole 70watts from the PCIe slot x16 just like those old gtx750ti back in 2016, I'm sure bigger cards will use less energy as time goes on.Mining needs power, the more the better.

If you could think you'd realize I did, as well as all the replies. Since I have to mansplain it...
The A2000 is an excellent GPU, but not ideal for mining because it's limited to 75W. Low power cards don't scale well,
you need more of them. That they draw all their power from the slot is another issue in itself. It's better for the mobo to use
powered risers.
If you're going to fire up your flame thrower you should put your fire proof underwear on first or you might get burned by the blowback.

I recommend the RTX 3060 12GB LHR even though it has a PCIe power connector. It costs $500 used on feeBay or $530 on Newegg. Each card can get 44 Mh total (18 Mh ETH + 26 Mh CFX) at 130w DC.
A RTX3060 needs an extra 6/8pin power connector to run, OP said GPUs that takes all needed power from 16x PCIe slot only, A2000 is a perfect choice for this requirement I don't think there is other like A2000.

nvidia rtx a2000 comes in 6gb and 12gb versions.
550 for 6gb
800 for 12gb
550 for 6gb
800 for 12gb
A2000 39-41Mh/s Eth @70watts pcie slot only.
I need your opinion please i want to buy a new mining gpu that has a decent hashrate but does not need supplementary power, which takes power only from the pciex16, suggestions?
