whats the minimum power supply needed to run this card

No minimum power supply needed - as long as mb is running the card will also.

Per EVGA's website: Minimum of a 300 Watt power supply. (Minimum recommended power supply with +12 Volt current rating of 16 Amps.) Total Power Draw : 29 Watts

This would be a great card but you might want to go to a power supply calculator to see if you psu can handle this card and everything else you have.

I believe the minimum power supply is 500W. I use a 550W and haven't had any problems.

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.

As per the Nividia website: "Maximum Graphics Card Power (W) 140 W Minimum System Power Requirement (W)5 450 W"

As long as you do not have several hard drives, or anything unusual in your system that is drawing extra power, then 600W is fine for this card. I would not personally go below 600W, but it will work.

The videocard needs a 500w power supply with a 6 pin power conector.. this card is a very good product.. but we must check the new amd R7 and R9 series. :)

You need to use both power supply connections and you would probably need a power supply rated at least 550 Watts (card alone is rated 175 Watts not including any other part of your system.

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.

Its a low profile card, the only power it needs is that fro. The pcie slot. So just plug in and go

Assuming you're not running a bunch of other stuff in your computer along with it, yes, 650W is plenty. The card has a theoretical maximum draw of 225W (but only pulls about 170W max).

Dont believe so, on the box it says it requires a 500W power supply, I run a 600W supply with this card.

The TDP of the card is advertised as 150W, although it should be a little lower considering it can still be overclocked within it's physical power input restrictions (75W through pci-E slot + 75W from the 6-pin connector). But yeah, 150W is a safe estimate. As to the wattage required to run a system (i.e. power supply requirement) people will throw random numbers at you like 500W PSU or better, but the truth is that it all depends on the hardware you are running. I suggest you do some google search for a power calculator and do your own math and see what kind of PSU you're going to need.

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.

300 watt with +12 at 18 amps is the minimum recommended for this video card

I paired this card with a 400 watt power supply, and that's about as low as power supplies go. So I'd say you're safe with at least 400 watts.

From the specifications on the EVGA website: Minimum of a 450 Watt power supply (Minimum recommended power supply with +12 Volt current rating of 24 Amps.), Total Power Draw : 140 Watts. So, the PC supply should be capable of 450W but the total video card is 140W.
