Could you tell me the power requirements of this card, wattage and range of power used to see if my Power Supply will handle it?Thank you

The required power supply for this type of card is minimum 800w (espesially if you plan to overclock) with 2power cables dedicated for this video card, so make sure the number of power outlets from the supply is enough for all you other components (ie DVD drive, hard drive, ect) good luck

Depends on the rest of your hardware. This card uses 150w, you will have to calculate the rest on your own. Minimum recommended is 500w.

you will be perfectly fine i have a 430 watt psu currently and i never even get near t going over that. this graphics card uses only about 80 watts on average. The only time you need to worry about wattage is when you get higher end cards or more of them.

the specs on this card's webpage say the minimum wattage power supply required is a 450W, however if your power supply is of low quality (many are) 500W probably wouldn't be enough. personally, i would upgrade to a 600W just in case, and also so that there is more room for power in the future.

Doing some research it's maximum power draw is 150w although most of the time will be much since it regulates power based on how hard you push the card. The minimum power supply to use is a 500 with a 6 pin aux power connector. Personally I would have at least a 600-700 just to allow for future upgrades.

Sounds like that's a 250 Watt power supply. It doesn't hurt to use a beefier power supply, so a 400W would fulfill your power needs very well. I don't know why companies put puny power supplies in things. As long as it has the connectors you need for your motherboard and hardware, it should do fine. The person who got this supply put in his computer says it's been working fine.

It's really more complicated than that, the card itself is 60W TDP (Thermal Design Point). You must consider your system's makeup -- i.e. processor, expansion cards, USB devices, drives, # monitors, and memory. Try searching on "power supply calculators" to see.That said, this card's TDP is so low, most systems should run it fine. A 300W PSU with an i7 CPU and lots of peripherals might have issues.

The card itself is rated by Nvidia to use about 155 watts. If your just running one you won't need to buy a real heavy power supply. the computer I built with this card calculated to use just under 400 watts overall (and I put a 4th gen i5, 8 gigs of ram, 2 hard drives, multiple fans, 2 DVD/blu ray roms, and a decent mobo) and I used a 500 watt psu. Just make sure your power supply has the proper connectors ( you will need an 8 pin and a 6 pin connector to power this card, careful not to confuse your 8 pin motherboard connector with your 8 pin video card connector.)

I think it will work. I didn't try it with a 500w power supply. But you can check it with yourself by checking the ampearage. Check the ampearage of the +12v rail. If it have a value of more than the card requires it will good to go..

The TDP of the card is advertised as 150W, although it should be a little lower considering it can still be overclocked within it's physical power input restrictions (75W through pci-E slot + 75W from the 6-pin connector). But yeah, 150W is a safe estimate. As to the wattage required to run a system (i.e. power supply requirement) people will throw random numbers at you like 500W PSU or better, but the truth is that it all depends on the hardware you are running. I suggest you do some google search for a power calculator and do your own math and see what kind of PSU you're going to need.

I run a 700 watt supply. It is more than adequate. A 320 should be enough. I use an extra fan hence extra power. The card is awesome. Updates regularly highly recommend.

Hey Ken, The 860w will work great. You can get away with a 650w or better if you choose. (running one card)

It depends on how many other things you have in your system, but 850w should be more than enough. I'm running my card on a 550 W PSU right now. As long as you have the needed power connections off your psu you are golden.

It may run on a 425W PSU but it will run sluggish. Yes the card requires you have two 6-pin connectors hooked to it to run properly. It will run properly if you upgrade the power supply. The card requires a minimum of 500 Watts, but my suggestion would be to go to a 550w at least or a 600w PSU.

This card needs a minimum 300 watt PSU according to Nividia web site. sorry Make sure you keep the dust blown out of your computer, it will add years to its life. Ed

The wattage of the card is 95WI would double check your wattage but just from that info I can calc 404w for the full system.I would look into getting a larger PSU. I always over shoot my systems on wattage.

No your perfectly fine since this card is a low power consumption card. Now it depends on what kind of processor you have. If you have intel you may need to upgrade it. If you have an amd like a 4100 your perfectly fine. If you have that processor and gpu it only requires 240 watts
