I have a i5 4690, 8gb ram, 3 case fans, a evga 650 watt gold psu and all the usual stuff, can i runt this gpu on my system safely with no limit pushin

Not really, although you might be just fine and probably safe, but you will be pushing limits. It all depends on what you are doing, for how long, and the quality of your PSU. The requirements listed on the box are 750 watts (or more) with one 150 watt 8 pin pcie power connector and one 75 watt 6 pin pcie power connector.

Definitely, I use a 650W PSU and I haven't seen any temperature issues with the card whatsoever in my mid tower PC
1973405
Computer specs should be adequate, just allow the video card to "breathe" properly by allowing some space in the tower, my recommendation is a full or ultra tower if possible.

Im running mine with a corsair 750 w power supply and it is running fine. Im not one hundred percent sure but maybe give pcpartspicker a try and just put what you have andd the graphics card to the build.

Of course. It's a standard power supply, and it's only a few MM bigger then an 850 watt unit. It has 4 native gpu hook ups.

Yes, just be careful not to overclock your GPU or CPU too much, this PSU can't power that much. Otherwise should be fine.

Mine runs a Radeon 7970 6gb and this card on a 650w gold certified psu without issue. Can't speak to running it solo, though.

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 probably need a bigger psu. this card uses alot of power! also be warned, this card is not small! its a very hefty card taking up 2 1/2 expansion slots! and it is over 12 inches long! so be warned if you have a mid tower case, as it may not clear cd/hdd drive bays!

Well any computer can run anything if you upgrade it enough. So basically with those upgrades you're simply asking if the stock NVIDIA GPU that it comes with can handle it, and I'd say probably yes. But it may be more economical to find a tower that has a better CPU and power supply and invest in a top of the line graphics card for it.

You will need to upgrade your power supply to have stable performance with this card. I recommend at least a 500 watt.

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.

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.

The power needed for the CPU should also be considered. I read somewhere that MSI recommended 500 watts for a system with 1 card. Since you are overclocking the CPU?, and the GPU?, I would recommend a 850 watt PSU at a minimum just to be safe and avoid power issues. Have fun!

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.

Look up the wattage of the graphics card, but the answer should be "yes", if you don't have too much crazy stuff

I'm gonna be safe and tell you that 300 watts is dangerously low for this card. I would recommend at least a 500 watt power supply. Anything below that and you're pushin' it. You also have to take into account the other things in your build, like CPU and how many Hard Drives you've got. So a 500 would definitely give you plenty of power for the 650ti boost, as well as giving you room for future growth.

250 watts will not cut it unless you are only trying to run the GPU (and you won't be). You need headroom. For this card, you would need at least 450 watts, but I would suggest at least 700 so as not to overtax your power supply. An overtaxed PSU will give you nothing but headaches (such as fried cpus or motherboards).

You will have to upgrade you PSU to at least 400w for to run some games, I would recommend a 600w or above. I have a corsair tx650 and it runs cool even with a lot of power demand.

You can use a 650w psu or any other over the 500w. Just be sure that you have an available 4pin power supply cable to connect the graphic card 6 pins cable.
