can i run this with a 305 watt powersupply

*Minimum 350W or greater system power supply (with a minimum 12V current *rating of 20A)3 This was from PNY website so no it won't work on your system unless you also upgrade your PSU. If you meant you have a 350 watt PSU & mistyped it then yes it will work

It runs on max150W when not overclocked but the psu your system needs depends on other parts so I would say if you're not overclocking your cpu a normal system would be fine with a 500W psu

I wouldn't try it. I have used it on both a 500 watt and a 550 watt PSU with no issues. If 225 w is enough for the other components your machine, you probably don't need this GPU's capacity (not that it is extreme, but it is decent). If you want to stay with 225w PSU (and there may be nothing wrong with that if it meets your needs) , look for a cheaper GPU.

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

You shouldn't, but it depends on what else is on your machine. I have 3 hard drives and added this card, which only uses 110 watts, and it's working fine with a 500w PS. That's one reason I selected this card because of it's low power consumption.

My SFF PC is running off a 250W power supply so I guess if your CPU is not the power hungry type (mine is the low end dual-core 3M cacahe 2.7GHz type), 300W probably will be okay.

Yes, 500 watts should be more than enough. Make sure that you use a decent brand name PSU.As mentioned below, if you are running a massive overclock on the CPU or try to overclock the GPU then you might run into some issues. On stock clocks and with a normal build you should be absolutely fine.

I'm running this on a 300w and it's runniing fine. I have a 500w but it's too big to fit in my case lol, but it runs just fine with the 300w so I'm not concerned.

Yes you can. Just make sure to account for other hardware as well. I've seen this card go up to around 120 watts under load.

Not sure - if it says it needs 350 watts then it probably does to run effectively or maybe even at all - I've used it with 400 watt and 550 watt power supplies and I know it works great with both of those... RH

In the specs, 300W its the minimun requirement. But that depends on your other hardware attach to your PC (Hard Drives, Fans, Optical Drives, Etc). You should calculate how much PSU power its needed for your PC using a PSU CALCULATOR. Here this one its from Cooler Master: http://www.coolermaster.outervision.com/ The optimal use of a PSU its 20% 60% and 80% usage of watts. You cant use 100% of the PSU, `cause that 20% missing its mostly gone in heat if your PSU UNIT its "RATED 80PLUS". I recomend going for 60% usage, so your power supply will be more eficient and deliver less heat.

yes it would, but if you're upgrading the PSU, why not go a bit higher in wattage? I'd personally get at least a 525w for this system. They did upgrade the stock PSU to a 500W, but it's a no name that I wouldn't trust and doesn't have enough connectors to do anything but run the rig as is.

300 watt is the minimum requirement. It will run on this power supply but it would be better to have a bigger power supply

You're PSU must have 75 watts free to have this card run. Example, if your computer and its components run at 400 watts and you have a 500 watt PSU you could add this card and have 25 watts left over.

You are going to need a slimline power supply for that computer. When looking up on here just use slimline and the wattage you would like. 300w should be more than adequate for that machine. Good Luck

Tower pc correct? My only concern is powersupply needs 800 watts or more and if it will fit.

I cannot find requirements on the power supply, I personally have a 500W unit. I have no reason to think a 300W would not work. You should be good.
