According to nVidia, the max power consumption for the GeForce 8400gs chipset installed on a card is 71 watts. I suspect that typical is below that value (for the Asus 1 GB version) since the card doesn't get particularly warm.

Minimum 300W or greater system power supply (with a minimum 12V current rating of 18A) is standard for this type of graphics card.

I'm not sure I know what you're asking, but there is no fan, so you don't need a separate power cable. Just plug in to the PCI Express slot and go.

I have a 350 watt power supply and I believe the spec on the GeForce 8400 called for 300 watts minimum. But to be honest I'm not sure. I haven't had a problem up to now. Like I said in my review, I don't play video games on my PC.

Power ConsumptionAccording to the ASUS web site it isup to 75W (no additional PCIe power required) Sorry for being so late. Roy

As long as your motherboard has PCI-Express 16x 2.0 then by any means yes. Be sure that your PSU has sufficient power for this graphic card. According to the official Nvidia website, the minimum wattage is 500 - Link : http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-760/specifications Once you install it, be sure to remove ATI/AMD video card driver and then install a nvidia driver, to avoid possible conflicts loading driver.

The manufacturer says, "The display card requires up to 225 watts of power". Most desktops with an i5 or i7 draw less that 100 watts. A 460 watt power supply is more than adequate. It seems people are always telling you that you need a humongous power supply but anyone that builds computers and/or uses them professionally like I do know this is just hype. I run two computers, a monitor, a 23" LED LCD HD TV, and a lot of other minor items behind an UPS and all of them seldom draw more than 300 watts combined. When playing a high GUI game the draw may go as high as 350 watt for everything. Fred Brooks owner and CEO, H&O PC Solutions

I have put a wattmeter on my machine specifically for your question.I have 1 Corsair SSD, and 3 laptop harddrives in it and one dvd drive, running cpu i7-3770 16gb ram, GeForce 9800 GT grafix card, 1GB DDR3At idle, it is taking 72 watts.Running a graphics stressor program, Unigine Valley Benchmark 1.0, it is taking 117 watts.This is far lower than I thought it was taking. The standard power supply that it came with is 300watts max.Let me know if this has helped.

Hello and thank you for reaching out to us today!The manufacturer specifications for this graphic card state the below:> Power Consumption: Up to 150W additional 6 pin PCIe power requiredI hope this assists you with your buying decision. Have a great day!

This graphics card requires the 6 pin PCIE power supply connector and a minimum of 450 watt power supply that is capable of 24 amps on the 12 volt supply. Depending on your existing system setup, you may need to upgrade.

Truth be told the manufacturer recommends a 400W power supply which seems like a very high wattage requirement? Since they cannot be sure of your system configuration they have to err towards caution to ensure that you have adequate power to drive the card! Here is one of the best calculators I have used to check power consumption resource needs . . .http://www.thermaltake.outervision.com/

Try not buying it used, no 2 year warranty comes with it unless it has been refurbished by the manufacturer.. You will need at least 800w from your power supply to run this card and other parts of your computer adequately.. Of course you can use what ever power supply you want, but everything will be ssslllooowww or unable to perform properly with adequate frames per second, (FPS) for games or streaming videos..

if your power supply is a 500W or above you will be able to power the card. Provided the rest of your system isn't low end or super dirt old, you shouldn't be bottlenecked or have to worry about hardware compatability.If you mean software wise like drivers, well Nvidia cards like to play well with eachother so having an Nvidia card in there and swapping to another Nvidia should be fine if you do not wish to reload your OS.

Hi, Ryan. I can't speak to your specific hardware configuration, but I can give you mine for a somewhat-apples-to-somewhat-apples comparison.I am running this same GTX 650 Ti 2GB in a machine with: i7 950 overclocked to 3.07GHz, 16GB RAM, 1x 64GB SSD, 2x 1TB 7200RPM HDD, 1x 750GB 7200RPM HDD. This machine has a 600W OCZ PSU, and I've had no issues with lack of power. YMMV, of course.This is a great little consumer-level card, probably the best I've owned so far. It has taken everything I've thrown at it (all games on "high" settings) with ease.

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.

I looked up that build and I don't know that the power supply is beefy enough, 250 or 300w is the size I found for it. 400w is the minimum for this card I believe. (mine is 450w and I have had no issues with the card at all.) I can't recommend it for you on that computer, because it would likely cause issues for you. Sorry. :/

The power supply in this unit is a 500W standard PSU. The GPU included is an onboard AMD graphics processor unit (built into the motherboard) and cannot be upgraded but instead replaced. The cost is the cost of the card you referenced, but the power supply is not powerful enough to cover the card. For that, you might want to take a look at our AAC-T7S, which has the same graphics card as the one you list (type, that is, not the exact one) and is built for all the specs in mind. As well, it also has an Intel i7 processor, which is leaps and bounds more powerful than the AMD 8 core included in this system. The AAC-T7S can be found here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HTB0Y86/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00HTB0Y86&linkCode=as2

I performed a serious search for the technical specifications for the AMD Radeon HD 7770 and could not find them on line. (AMD had taken down the original page with specifications, but they could be found in Google cache; there was no mention there of power requirements.) There is a wide range of opinions about the power requirements of the HD 7770. There is some chance that the power supply will do the job; it certainly worked well in my application with a new video card that required more power than came with the machine (The power supply had already been replaced once with a 500w supply, but had become damaged.) I agree with Michael S. Why take a chance. I believe I would go with 600W. I performed a serious search for the technical specifications for the AMD Radeon HD 7770 and could not find them on line.

Check out your spec's at Dell and then compare with NVidia site http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gt-630/specifications The main thing is to be sure you computers Power supply is sufficient. This card requires a minimum of 300 Watts.
