How much power consumption? I have a 220W PS (HP Pavilion S5750Z) with dead on-board graphics. I see the specs (elsewhere) "require" a 300W PS.

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.

This graphic card need at least 300 power supply if you have 220 this card can't work and your computer I have this problem now

The box for the XFX AMD Radeon HD 5450 clearly states it requires a 400 watt or greater power supply. A certified power supply is recommended.

I have minimal wattage from my power source. the rating is for max need. mine runs my media center without lag i don't know about games but i am very happy with my graphics. i think you have more than enough wattage. and you can't beat the price

I added one to a Dell Optiplex with a 255 watt power supply and it works fine.

300 watts is insufficient for this card. I'd recommend a 500w of real power. Don't buy a cheap brand. The longevity and safety of your entire PC rests in the PSUs hand.

I looked up that build and I don't know that the power supply is beefy enough, 250 or 300w is the size I found for it. 400w is the minimum for this card I believe. (mine is 450w and I have had no issues with the card at all.) I can't recommend it for you on that computer, because it would likely cause issues for you. Sorry. :/

Nice card! It consumes about 180-185 W. Depending on what you're running it in and how much stuff you've got in you're box, you may want to bump it up a notch. You can check the AMD site (or call them) if you have doubts. The site should have recommended PS ratings.

300 Watt should be able to support the current spec right now. But in the future if you are planning to upgrade to a higher end graphic card, I do recommend a larger power supply.

Greetings,Great question!Your power consumption will definitely vary depending on the components you install. A good starting point for a basic configuration (65W TDP CPU, A couple of hard drives) will be around 100W. Make sure you check the power requirements of any large components you decide to add (e.g., video card).Best regards,MITXPC

I was running one of these with an older PC Power & Cooling 430 W PS, never had an issue. If you are going to overclock it, you are going to have a tough time with two of them on anything less than an 850 watt power supply. But that has been my experience; your mileage may vary.

It can depend upon a number of things. What takes the most power is truly your Graphics card, followed by your CPU followed by Hard drives, followed by RAM.You can probably get away with a good 550W power supply. I went Corsair Professional Series on my build, and have had 0 problems with power. I'm running a 750W.

I would not recommend a 300 watt PS with this board. It's a low end board, would advise 550w or more.

I seriously doubt you are using anywhere near your power supplies rated maximum. I have a 1000 watt PS connect to this UPS. Normally, it draws less then 300 watts. Even gaming, I've rarely seen it over 500.

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.

I have not idea? The power supply is pretty nice and I am very happy with it but I am only using it on at P7-300.

Hmmm... When I upgraded the PSU, I believe it was around 250 watts or a bit less than that. For sure, it wasn't over 250 watts.

That depends on what else you have in your system - how many and what type of hard drives, how much RAM, fans/coolers etc.In general, these days I would lean towards 1000W power supply as 750W is cutting it close. Just your video card will consume anywhere from 250-300W under max load. My system is xeon based, and xeon CPUs take less power, and I also have an older, less power hungry video card, and I have 1000W Power supply.ps. This is not a "GPU" but "PSU".

The manufacturer says, "The display card requires up to 225 watts of power". Most desktops with an i5 or i7 draw less that 100 watts. A 460 watt power supply is more than adequate.It seems people are always telling you that you need a humongous power supply but anyone that builds computers and/or uses them professionally like I do know this is just hype. I run two computers, a monitor, a 23" LED LCD HD TV, and a lot of other minor items behind an UPS and all of them seldom draw more than 300 watts combined. When playing a high GUI game the draw may go as high as 350 watt for everything.Fred Brooks owner and CEO, H&O; PC Solutions The manufacturer says, "The display card requires up to 225 watts of power".

Hi. I wouldn't try it with less than 500W. Obviously it doesn't consume that much, but if you're thinking of upgrading to this card, you probably have a couple hard drives, a higher-performance CPU and so on, and would need that much for other reasons. I had a 400W PS that was unable to power my system a few years ago, resulting in BSODs and random freezes, so I changed that out for my current 600W supply, which does just fine. I have an 8-core CPU, this video card, an SSD and four hard drives. I just had a look at EVGA's specsheet about this, and it says minimum 350W PS. I would imagine that is in a minimal system with nothing else hooked up. If you have any plans to upgrade anything in the future, being stuck with a tiny power supply will limit your options. I'd say start your search at 500W and if you find a good manufacturer of a more powerful one that's reasonably priced, get it.

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.
