What types of PSUs R u guys running? I have a 320 watt that should be enough to power that card but idk can anyone help me out here

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.

it's 65watts, so it all depends what else you are running. I'd suggest to use a power supply calculator online to figure it out.

320 watt sounds low. I use Corsair Builder Series CX 500 Watt ATX/EPS 80 PLUS (CX500) without problems with that video card.and MSI Computer Corp. DDR3 1600 Intel LGA 1155 Motherboards (H77MA-G43).

Mine runs a Radeon 7970 6gb and this card on a 650w gold certified psu without issue. Can't speak to running it solo, though.

My computer uses a "Logisys 350W Micro ATX Power Supply" only 20 bucks on OUTLETPC.com, but they take about 2 weeks to get it to ya. it is also MICRO, so it may have trouble mounting it to your case if its rly big.

I needs 230 watts per card. 2 of them sum up to 460 watts witch will leave a very small room for CPU RAM Motherboard and HDD. You need a PSU thats at least 1000 watts to run 2 of them I'll recommend 1200 watt so you leave room and that way your PSU runs cold. You don't want all the heat a PSU generates when near 80% of usage. Even more when shopping for a new PSU make sure that a big part of the power is in the 12v rail. In electronic Power = Voltage * Current . in this case voltage is 12 current is what your PSU says on the box (you can check this while shopping) so. Power for 12 V = 12V * 56 = 672 watts for 12 V. This is an example Going back to you PSU u have 4 rails of 12v. @ 20Amp each. If you use 2 for each card ull get Card 1: 12v@40A = 480watts card uses 460 - 95% ( danger) Card 2: 13v@40A = 480watts card uses 460 - 95% ( danger) They are too close to the limit 95% and you have no room for CPU and Motherboard. They take about 150w more. And you only (at best) only have 40. Hope this helps for more info google search PSU watts explanations or ask me again.

Should be fine. I have this card and a 550 watt psu and haven't had any issues since I got the card a few months ago.

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

It's a 19W card. Unless you're running an Intel Extreme edition CPU or an 8-core AMD CPU, you'll be well under the power limit for your power supply.

I think you must upgrade your PSU to 400w , check the system requirements from this link- http://www.gigabyte.com.lk/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4380#sp .

I would try out your 650 watt to see if it works ago before you spend anymore money. I am currently using a 850 watt PSU. If it does not work you can always order a new PSU later.

Hi dude, the box says: "500Watts or greater power supply". If you have a certified (real) 500W PSU, you'll be ok.

400 watt or greater is the recommendation for this model. You should calculate how your psu is destrobuting it's power to make sure you can delegate enough to the card

Dont worry about it, tha card comes with all the adapters you need, i even used this card with a 600W PSU that came with the connectors just as you described

Hey Ronel, I have a 750 watt power supply that I am using with this card. However, a standard power supply one with no less than 350 watts should be enough to run the card with no problems. I would recommend getting a 400 to 450 watt power supply if you will be using this card for gaming.

This graphics card requires a minimum 350Watts ... I have it with a 600 watt generic psu and pci express x16 1.0 port and works perfect.

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.)

Mine is in a Dell that had a 300w that went bad. I replaced with a 600w and have had no issues. When I did research before I bought the card, the suggestions that I read were a 400-500w psu

It should work. I have a stock psu and it works fine. It is a low consumption card

You need to use both power supply connections and you would probably need a power supply rated at least 550 Watts (card alone is rated 175 Watts not including any other part of your system.

Hmm... I think a 500W PSU would be ok, but are you overclocking the CPU? If so, then I would recommend checking the necessary wattage for the GPU. I'm using a 750W PSU, but I think other people have used less. I would research this further since I'm not 100% sure 500W would suffice. I'm sorry if I couldn't be more helpful.
