whats the wattage i need for this? my pc is an HP envy 700 214 with 460 power supply. is that enough?

That should be fine. I'm running a 500 watt right now with this card, which would more preferable for future upgrades.
1497206
You should be OK. I just built a steam machine with a 430w PSU and I'm running this card just fine!

The manual states you must have at least a 500 wattage power supply for the card to work. I have the Raidmax ATX 500 Power supply RX-500af-b and it works perfectly with no problems and i have my amd fx-630 over clocked to 3.8ghz and the xfx on auto boost (using the cd program that come with the card)

It varies on what else you have installed. like if this will be your only graphics card, then it should be enough, but only barely.

Depends on what else you're running but, I would recommend at a minimum a 550 watt unit; 650 would probably be better; 850 if you want to future proof your computer. This all assumes you're using a desktop and not a laptop computer.

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.

I run a 700 watt supply. It is more than adequate. A 320 should be enough. I use an extra fan hence extra power. The card is awesome. Updates regularly highly recommend.

Its a 500 watt power supply you could probably google it. It shouldnt have much effect espically if you are already running a desktop.

That's more than enough watts. It should work with your power supply too. However, I would check any specifics on both manufacturers websites.

you need to add up all of your items in the computer to know what is needed. look at the original setup..it should have listed the power requirements for each item

Depends on what the total system requirement is. 750W is fine for most requirements, way more than needed for most requirements.

A 500 Watt power supply would be fine for you. Your CPU takes 125W and the 640 has low power requirements, 75W I believe, so a 500W PSU is pretty standard for your build. If you are planning on upgrading in the future you might consider a 600 or 650W to save you the cost of upgrading the PSU when the time comes.

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

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.

Hi dude, the box says: "500Watts or greater power supply". If you have a certified (real) 500W PSU, you'll be ok.
1537106
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.

I'm using a 750 watt power supply, and have had no issues. My old PSU was 700 and it was fine in there too.

You better upgrade your power supply at least to 400 watt. Check the power requirements of this card.

I would suggest a power supply of at least 500 watts, such as the Corsair CX500M. This will provide more than enough power for your PC and gpu at a good price.
2080240
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.
