my computer has a max 250 watt output, will this work with my computer?

Works fine at 100% load with my 300 Watt power supply. This card was designed to be used in low power settings. Maximum power output or TDP is only 19 watts. For non-video usage the average power drops to only 5 watts. If this card does not work, then you just need a new PS.

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!

My power supply is similar and I have been using it for about a year now with no issues. I also use dual monitors. I'd at least try it out.

Yes, but you can also probably get away with less wattage if you don't have any graphics card with it, I would say look for a 250 watt power supply.

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. :/

Provided there is an open pci slot on the pc (which you can find out by opening it up) and the psu is putting out 400 - 500 watts you should be fine. Upgrading stock PC's can be tricky though, I wouldn't recommend it personally, hard to get it to the standard you want.

Yes, if it is a bronze standard 500 watt power supply. I recommend 700 watt bronze standard power supply if you want to over clock your cpu, memory, and graphics card in the near future. This graphics card has tweaking capability.

Yes it will work, if you not sure on wattage use pcpartspicker.com and it will tell you how much your computer uses. I have a 430 watt and it runs great

Hi Tom. For any card to work you need a couple of things: an available slot on your system board of the correct type and drivers that will allow the card to interface with your operating system. If you have these two things it "should" work. I don't know what mean by a "250 watt PCI card".

In all honesty a 250w power supply means a lack of power and I would question if you had the right hardware to support this card in the first place. Get a larger power supply they are cheap

The specs will tell you that and all other info. on the MSI web. I am running two and use a 1800 watt PS. I would think 800 watts would work but it depends what other stuff you have in your PC like say 6 hard drives or 1 hard drive? G

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.

Yes it will work, any issue you might have would be from the power supply not being strong enough, I would say a bare minimum of a 650 watt psu.

No, your wattage for your power supply should exceed your maximum draw (I'd recommend by 5-10%). My computer only draws 50W max but I got this PSU for other reasons. For me the 72W would work

I have a 400 watt power supply and it works fine.I would try it with the 250w because you can always send it back.

I would be cautious. According to specs for your PC on HP's web site, the HP Pavilion p6733w Desktop has a 250W power supply. According to the specs on the ASUS box, a 400W power supply is recommended by ASUS. My machine has a 350W power supply and I was a bit concerned about that; however, after researching my fears were put to rest and I have had no issues. From 250W to 400W is a pretty big delta and that would definitely be my concern if had your machine.

A power suppuy with 600 watts will be enough, make sure it has 2 pci express of 4 and 8 pins, and remember to be sure its compatible with your motherboard

I use 650W . I think it is enough. You can search some websites that tells you exactly how much you need depending on your computer.

It *may* work with a 250W power supply, but may produce unexpected/random crashes/failures. According to their specifications (http://www.inno3d.com/product/gt630_4gb_single.html) the minimum system power supply requirement is 300W.
