will this card work with a 850 watts psu???

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.

The recommended system specs for this card is a 750 watt power supply. An 850 will do fine.

Yes, I use a 750 in my box; it obviously depends on your other components, though.

I don't know the exact wattage requirements for your setup (you have to take into account the number of fans. CPU cooling, number of hard drives and optical drives, etc). But an 850W PSU is almost certainly enough for your rig. You can check out some websites like: powersupplycalculator.net to double check. But I'm 99.99% sure you will have PLENTY left over with an 850W PSU.

Presumably yes, if all your system components are in perfect working condition, but you must check with the manufacturers of the components to be sure. I make no guarantees on compatibility. If you have a poor PSU, perhaps not. You also need 2 - 8pin connectors to power this card.

It should work with an EVGA 8400 video card which requires a minimum of a 350 Watt power supply recommended with +12 Volt current rating of 18 Amps, but I would also check to see what your system is rated at. If this is a replacement PSU for an older system, then OK but if it is a new build then I would go with a more reliable PSU.

I found the wattage was not as important as the amps on the 12V rail. This card needs two 8-pin (or 6+2 pin) connectors, and my older 850 watt PSU ultimately did not have the right amps to support the card. (System kept shutting off... card had blown out the PSU.) 650 watts should be fine as long as your two 6+2 pin connectors off the 12V rail can support at least 20 amps each.

It'll work if you have at least a 400 watt power supply, I put it in a build that had a 350 watt power supply and it seemed to work fine, but go with 400 watts or more lol.

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.

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.

Your power supply is more than enough for this card. 300 watts is the minimum requirement, you have 350 watts so you are good to go, my friend.

It will work, the question is for how long. I would certainly chance using this video card with a small power supply. If the power supply burns up, just install a 400 watt (or bigger). Most of the newer computers are relatively low power consumption, and unless you're going to play hi power games, I don't think you'll tax the PS at all. Your mileage may vary!

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.

the card alone at TDP will use close to 250 watts... so unless you have an atom processor and no HDDs... more watts the better ;). Plus most psus are less then efficient, My guess is that 350 watts is more like 300

I'm running two of these on an 850W PSU, so really anything above 350W should be fine, but you might be pushing it at 350W

Hey there, the card has been measured around 220 watts by several hardware reviews, this is also close to what the spec says. Now for a PSU overall power you need to check what's in your system overall. Note overclock causes significant overconsumption (upto 280W in some Vmod cases).

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.

Late answer, so I hope that you haven't had any problems. At full load, this card can consume up to 350W. I wouldn't go less than 750 for a PSU. If you plan on an OC, I'd go even higher. That being said, my CPU, GPU, and RAM are all OC'd. I've also got four HDD and one SSD, five case fans, and a 1050W Corsair. If you're considering spending this kind of money, I'd feel better knowing that the PSU voltage isn't going off course due to an overload, or that the PSU killed itself without taking casualties (fingers crossed).
