Will this card work with a 375 watt power supply?

According to this page: http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-9800gt/specifications , they say you need a 400W PSU. However, it doesn't mean it won't work. If it's a higher quality PSU and there's not a lot else plugged into it, it will probably work fine (375 is quite close, and the 400 number is a rough estimate). I can't promise anything though. It works great with my 430W Corsair PSU though.

Yes, but I would recommend getting at least a 600 watt sometime in the future if you game a lot

It would really depend on everything else in your system. If everything else pulls to much power, and there isn't enough for the video card, it will not preform as well and your power supply will wear out very quickly. I know from experience that too small of a power supply will burn out and need to be replaced. I would recommend at least a 500w.

It only has 300w P/S. I believe the card you want requires a minimum 500w, 600w is recommended.

This power supply will work. I suggest getting a different power supply like Corsiar, Evga, or rosewill. Try and find one that is 80+ certified. I don't recommend this power supply.

the wattage should be fine but you also need supplemental power plugged directly into this card from the psu.

A power suppuy with 600 watts will be enough, make sure it has 2 pci express of 4 and 8 pins, and remember to be sure its compatible with your motherboard

You better upgrade your power supply at least to 400 watt. Check the power requirements of this card.

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

It may run on a 425W PSU but it will run sluggish. Yes the card requires you have two 6-pin connectors hooked to it to run properly. It will run properly if you upgrade the power supply. The card requires a minimum of 500 Watts, but my suggestion would be to go to a 550w at least or a 600w PSU.

for a single card they recommend a 500 watt power supply, so if your running 1 you should be fine.

While it may work for some time I don't recommend using this video card with less the 400W power supply. Best, Martin

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 found the wattage was not as important as the amps on the 12V rail. This card needs two 8-pin (or 6+2 pin) connectors, and my older 850 watt PSU ultimately did not have the right amps to support the card. (System kept shutting off... card had blown out the PSU.) 650 watts should be fine as long as your two 6+2 pin connectors off the 12V rail can support at least 20 amps each.

I am not sure. I have previously installed a 1,000W Power Supply. Sorry I could not be of too much help. Regards!

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/

This card needs a minimum 300 watt PSU according to Nividia web site. sorry Make sure you keep the dust blown out of your computer, it will add years to its life. Ed

It's really more complicated than that, the card itself is 60W TDP (Thermal Design Point). You must consider your system's makeup -- i.e. processor, expansion cards, USB devices, drives, # monitors, and memory. Try searching on "power supply calculators" to see.That said, this card's TDP is so low, most systems should run it fine. A 300W PSU with an i7 CPU and lots of peripherals might have issues.

Depends on the rest of your hardware. This card uses 150w, you will have to calculate the rest on your own. Minimum recommended is 500w.
