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.

No, a minimum of 500 watt power supply is needed and a 650 watt power supply is recommended by XFX.

I have the 650w version. It says on the box that could run two 75w graphic card and a 50w cpu. I have only one gtx 250 sli, with like 10 fans and several lights. It's running fantastic. However yours will require around 700w for two of those cards. I would recommend getting 750w for overclocking or even more expansion down the road. I'm jealous btw I'm sure that card is awesome.

Well I'm using a bronze 500 watt and it's working. I did have to use a programme called Asus gpu boost to restrict the draw to the card but it works fine. The xfx website does state you need a minimum of 750 watt to run it so yours should be fine if it us at least bronse rated

It depends on the other components in your system. I run a 450w power supply with this card and no issues. If your CPU is sucking up more than average watts you may require more , but this card has a very low power requirement considering pretty good performance.

No, I would recommend at least a high efficiency 450 or 500 Watt, it may power up but you can damage the card with not providing it enough power or damage your mother board. You may find some calculator that says other wise but I wouldn't risk it. (I burned up this same card and ruined my mother board pcie slot, not for running to little power but my power supply shorted giving unstable power, to little power would be unstable.

It depends on what you're really planning to run for your video card. I use this card with two Radeon HD 7790 1GB cards in CrossfireX and it runs fine. But if you were to go any higher than that with video cards, you're going to want a bigger PSU.

The TDP for a GTX 780 is 250W. Unless you're running a LOT of hard drives or some cpu with a huge power draw, you should be able to use this power supply with power to spare. I think it's unlikely that the rest of your pc is using 250W. I am running a crypto mining system with 4 video cards (each with a TDP of 150W) with this supply and it's only pulling 700W from the wall. Let's assume about 15% efficiency lost to heat so.....that implies that the system itself is actually only drawing about 600W from the PSU.

That would be cutting it close. Save up for a decent 600 watt power supply because even if you could run it you would be stressing out your power supply and would decrease its lifespan. You might want to consider getting something a little less power hungry like a gtx 760 or r9 270 as they should be fine on a 430 watt psu. A r9 270 uses much less power and peaks at only 170 watts at its limit.

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.

Dear friend, I strongly recommend at least 300-350 watts per video card. So just for the cards you would need 900-1050 watts. You still need some more power to the rest of the system. Get that 1600 psu ASAP...

The power supply must be 350W or greater (with a minimum 12V current rating of 20A). One card which consumes less power is the Evga GeForce GT 430 requiring 300 Watt or greater with a minimum of 22 amps on the +12 volt rail. The lower memory capacity has less heat but less gaming satisfaction, and it's compatible with Windows 7.

I have this card running with an amd A10-6800k apu on a 430 watt Corsair CX 430 power supply. It's rated at 32 amps 12v, and I'd consider that the bare minimum.Just do the math, 32 amps * 12v is 384 watts. This card draws 150 watts under load, leaving me with a little over 200 watts for the CPU and other devices. So my setup is fine, but if you have a higher end i7 or AMD FX CPU, you'd need a bigger power supply.

You could run this on a 150w power supply as long as it wasn't garbage. It has no external power requirements, so the most it could possibly draw is 75w. This card won't even come close to that. The recommended 350w is extreme overkill because some people have extremely low quality PSU's that come with cases.

It does not say anywhere on the box what it recommends for power supply. I am running it on a 250 watt power supply and it works great. I dont have any extra stuff drawing power on the computer. And no on needing the extra wire. It just draws its power from the PCIe X16 slot, so you will need one of those. (make sure its an X16 slot and not just a reg PCI slot.

No. It requires a 450w minimum, and installing it with lower could destroy the gpu

I just purchased this card and it requires a minimum 300 Watt PS with a minimum of 20A on the 12 volt rail. This is based on a newer core-i7 processor. I have an older core-i7 and my card seems to be working ok with 18A on my 12 v rail. I am only running One monitor at the moment, but I will have to watch during heavy gaming if my PC crashed or reboots. If It does than I will need to update my Power supply.

The minimum power supply listed on the box is 350W (350 Watts). There is a side note about having a minimum 12V current rating, as well, which I suspect applies to just about everyone with electricity. I use a 700W supply. As a side note, I do not recommend this video card if you wish to use it for gaming. It seems to work fine for most other things (streaming video, playing dvds, web browsing), but I found most of my games to be quite unresponsive even with severely lowered video and interface options.
