What is the minimum power wattage that this card will take?

If you are going to go with 500w or 450w, make sure it is a high grade power supply, and not a cheap off-brand model

I have this card running with an amd A10-6800k apu on a 430 watt Corsair CX 430 power supply. It's rated at 32 amps 12v, and I'd consider that the bare minimum.Just do the math, 32 amps * 12v is 384 watts. This card draws 150 watts under load, leaving me with a little over 200 watts for the CPU and other devices. So my setup is fine, but if you have a higher end i7 or AMD FX CPU, you'd need a bigger power supply.

500w is recommended yes, but this cards typical power usage will be around 150w at peak, graphics cards generally don't use all the 500w. To be safe i would highly recommend a 600w psu, just so you can have some head room so you don't bottleneck the power supply.

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

I'm using 850W one for cross fire. I think 450W would be fine for single card, but it depends on your other hardwares.

I have 700 watt in mine and it works just fine as long as you don't want to over clock I am running a amd phenom 2 965 black edition running at std clock of 3.4 GHz when I tried to over clock is only time I had power issues with that card..

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.

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.

The required power supply for this type of card is minimum 800w (espesially if you plan to overclock) with 2power cables dedicated for this video card, so make sure the number of power outlets from the supply is enough for all you other components (ie DVD drive, hard drive, ect) good luck

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.

According to this cards specifications on Newegg.com, 400 Watts is the minimum.

550W is more than enough. Just make sure you plug the power wire into the card without pinching the small wire located at the card connector. This card requires 500W so you have more than enough power. Also install the Afterburner software that comes with this card as it is easy to monitor the temperature of the card and increase you fan speed settings if it starts running hot due to some games. I am very pleased with this card.

This card uses 105W. My PC power supply is only 320W but I do not have anything in the other PCIe slots and it works fine.

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).

That's strange, you need minimum of 500 watts to run one of these cards. What exactly are you doing with your computer? Is your computer connected to it's own isolated power outlet?

They want a 600 watt supply for one. So figure about 300 watts each card. I'd do 900 watts at the minimum.

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

can't really tell .All depends on how your pc is configured. I personally used a 650w

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.
