What is the minimum power supply needed?

I would say it depends on your build. But for the graphics card alone at least 200 watts. However all parts combined along with this card I'd reccomend at least a 600 watt. I have a 750 watt myself.

according to tigerdirect 500w is needed http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=8573338&csid;=_61

The power load with one monitor connected at full load is listed by www.anandtech.com as 284 Watts. This will be increased if you use more than one monitors. So going on the assumption that you are only using one monitor plus CPU at no more than 125 W and the rest of the components. I believe 500 W would be sufficient but to be careful I would get at least a 550 W power supply.

I bought this card a year ago and I run 2 24" monitors at 1080p and my 500W works great. I also run a FX6300 along with the card. Surprisingly I also bought the card for $189 new from Newegg.

I have a 750. It works really good. I would assume a 500 would suffice as it pulls about 180

I am not sure what the min. is, but we are running a 1500W for this gaming rig. It has TWO of these cards on an ASUS Republic of Gamers Crosshair-V Mobo, 4.7 AMD 9650 Black Processor and more fans than the Browns. Might be overkill, but I can run everything at 100% and my LED's don't even dim. I know that doesn't answer your question, but always but all the power supply you can. Better too much than not enough.

From the Sapphire website (always check with the manufacturer, not other retailers): 500 Watt Power Supply is required.600WattPower Supply is recommended for CrossFireX™ System.

it depends on your motherboard the total power needed but each GPU requires 300watts

you need to add up all of your items in the computer to know what is needed. look at the original setup..it should have listed the power requirements for each item

the specs on this card's webpage say the minimum wattage power supply required is a 450W, however if your power supply is of low quality (many are) 500W probably wouldn't be enough. personally, i would upgrade to a 600W just in case, and also so that there is more room for power in the future.

From memory a 400 Watt PSU is needed. I went 500 Watts just so I could have a little extra.

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

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.

You are right. Doesn't need own power connector but PSU should be minimum 450w

It just need to be plugged into the USB port of your computer. You will need a fairly good PSU otherwise it will be unstable.

From the website: Minimum of a 350 Watt power supply. (Minimum recommended power supply with +12 Volt current rating of 18 Amps.) Total Power Draw : 49 Watts http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=01G-P3-2621-KR

You will need about 150 watts of power and a spare 6-pin PCIe power connector on your PSU. It looks like you're using a Corsair 80+ 430 watt PSU, so it should cover these.It all depends what other components you have in your system. It looks like you could with something like an Intel Core i3 or an AMD FX-4300, with a fair amount of buffer.A good place to get an estimate of how much power your PC needs would be PC Part Picker (just google it).

Sorry I'm AMD all the way, but your motherboard mfr and/or the card mfr should have recommended power supply requirements on their sites...

Probably. But to be certain you should make a list of all the power consuming parts in your PC and use a power calculator to determine the safe minimum size power supply for your particular computer. There are several free power calculators available online. One that seems to be recommended a lot by consumer PC forums and blogs, and the one I'm most familiar with, is the Extreme Power Supply calculator: .outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jspJust fill in the blanks with your parts and it will provide a minimum power requirement, and a recommended power level.Frank

Depends on what else you're running but, I would recommend at a minimum a 550 watt unit; 650 would probably be better; 850 if you want to future proof your computer. This all assumes you're using a desktop and not a laptop computer.

Yes, it recommends a minimum system PSU of 500W. 600W will be fine as long as you are using this as a single card (not SLI). Do yourself a favor and get a good PSU from a reputable brand (e.g. Seasonic). Don't skimp on the quality of the PSU to save a couple bucks.

It's actually a very small and compact card! Use very little energy alongside with intel set-up.Minimum PSU wattage is 450W

Assuming you have the rest of the computer at similar quality I would look at a 750 to 800 watt supply

I would get one with at least 700w from a good brand, 600w is the minimum requirement for it
