Will this card work in a Gateway DX4200-UB001A...I have a 300W power supply but does the card need its own power supply cord or connection?

It works fine on my stock dell, which has a weak power supply. I don't recall there being a separate power supply input.

No direct connection to power supply necessary or possible. Whether your existing power supply will be adequate is more a question of how many hard drives and other components are powered by it.

300 W power supply is enough to run this card. There are no separate power supply cord or connection is necessary.

Per the EVGA website you need a "Minimum of a 350 Watt power supply".You didn't mention what type and model PC you have. If it is an HP they come terribly under-powered. I would upgrade your power supply. Do not try and use that card with anything less than a 350 watt power supply. I'd get a bare minimum of a 450W power supply.

Bear in mind, the PSU they "require" isn't about what the card needs; it's an assumption about the overall needs of computers the manufacturer figures might be needed. This card requires no power other than the PCI express lane --- that only supplies 75 watts. So this thing only needs 75 watts or less for itself.

IT should work, it only uses 30 watts so it depends what else you have going. It dies not need a power cord,gets its power from the PCI port.

I have agree with the others here, as long as you have a PCIExpress slot(preferably 1) it should power it. My only question is what kind of computer are you putting it in. If it's a Dell, Hp or Gateway it won't work cause these manufacturers require specific components that are adapted for their systems.

According to the manufacturer this card needs 550W:http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4102#sp , Power requirement = 550 W

Can't answer that since it would most definitely depend on what other components you have. This card does not require a lot of power by design, but the total power load would depend on the other components in your system - not just this card.

It's should work fine the card does not need extra power. All it need is the power from you PCI Express and you good to go.

I got retail box and all the connectors are there. But not all the power supplies are ready for this card. I use high-end power supply. Therefore I didn't have a problem Make sure you have a power supply compatible with two six pin PCI power connectors. You should be running 600 Watt power supply at least. With two separate power channels and six pin connectors on them. This is not a power-hungry card but reliable power supply is very important.

I dont believe it plugs right into the PSU but it does recommend a 330w power supply which could cause the card to short out earlier in its life. It should be fine but You never know. It's a decent video card too.

NVidia's online calculator says the stock (non-overclocked card) will work with a 300W power supply. This one should as well. It has an on-board power regulator that prevents it from drawing more than 75W. See NVidia dot com/content/HelpMeChoose/fx2/HelpMeChoose.asp?lang=en-us This does have the 6 pin power supply connector for a cable from the power supply to the card, on the top edge near the mounting bracket.

Yes. According to Sony you should have one PCIe x16 lane open. This card requires your system to have a minimum power supply of 300 Watts which you should have ~305W.

400W is the min required for the card as long as you are only going to run 1 and you have at least 1 6 pin pci supplementary power connector coming off the power supply. if there is no 6 pin pci supplementary power connector then the PSU is not compatible.

It says that it takes up to Power Consumption up to 75W no additional PCIe power required. And from what I read in PC Mag your PC consumes about 70 Watts under Load so if you don't have multiple Hard drives or Using alot of USB devices you should be good with this card with your power supply. Here is the article I found in PC Mag. From what I read I would say yes it would work fine. But the PC is getting a little outdated to so I don't know how much performance you would see from this card. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2255115,00.asp

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 supply that I'm using is 400W on a Gateway system. Seems to perform pretty well and I've had no problems so far.

This graphics card requires a minimum 350Watts ... I have it with a 600 watt generic psu and pci express x16 1.0 port and works perfect.
