What is power requirement for this ASUS GeForce 8400GS 1GB graphic card? Thank you all for your responses... I don't know why they don't list the system requirements (CPU, min. power supplies, ect...)? I went to some of the manufactures' web sites and...

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.

No. It requires at least a 600 watt power supply. See: http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-780/specifications

Looking up the specs for that online, I do not think it would be a wise idea to buy this kind of graphics card. Power isn't the problem, but your ram and Processor might be.

What Zachary said. 650 watts is more than enough power to run that card and a bunch of HDDs, disc drives, and peripherals. You picked a great card, too. Not too loud or hot, plays today's games with maxed out settings at a consign at 60 fps or higher and I've had no driver issues to date. Happy gaming.

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..

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.

I'm running one with the same cpu as well, my power meter on the system shows about 620 watts during game play. I do run two hard drives, 1 HDD and another SSD. Other than that there shouldn't be much difference. You really don't want to run a power supply that close to max wattage, I ran a 650 on mine for a while and went out pretty quickly. I would say upgrade the power supply or go for an Nvidia at the same price range. They usually use less power.

Minimum System Power Requirement = 650 W. http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-690/specifications

I cannot (in good conscious) recommend the ("EVGA Geforce 610 1024...) for any computer that has less than a 350 watt power supply.JL.

This card is not heavy duty gamer card. The power consumption need medium level only. If you have 400Watt power supply in your PC is adequate. Thanks Copystars Support

It depends on what other components you are running, you can use a power consumption calculator to figure it out (http://www.extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp) but its a very high likelyhood you can run this graphics card no problem.

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.

The card itself is rated by Nvidia to use about 155 watts. If your just running one you won't need to buy a real heavy power supply. the computer I built with this card calculated to use just under 400 watts overall (and I put a 4th gen i5, 8 gigs of ram, 2 hard drives, multiple fans, 2 DVD/blu ray roms, and a decent mobo) and I used a 500 watt psu. Just make sure your power supply has the proper connectors ( you will need an 8 pin and a 6 pin connector to power this card, careful not to confuse your 8 pin motherboard connector with your 8 pin video card connector.)

I would not recommend this graphics card, get one with a fan, but if you really want this card, it will work with a computer asking it has about 300 watt powe supply

I know your post was almost a month ago; however if you have not received any help here are the graphic card comparison charts that you need to determine how big an upgrade that the new card would be http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/ As far as how big a power supply that you would need, this really depends on how many hard drives, optical drives, ram, etc. that you have. My suggestion would be 600 is usually a decent wattage for a power supply with an upper end graphics card.

I believe the documentation calls for a 750W power supply, though the power usage of this card fluctuates a lot. I haven't seen the card draw more than 410 watts from the wall, putting my total system under 650W at full load. I have been using an EVGA SuperNOVA NEX750G 80PLUS Gold and it has been running fine.
