What PSU wattage does this card require?(can i run it using a 460 watt? or do i need a 600 as i cant find a wattage anywhere)

From what I've read, the card draws a bit less than 300W under a heavy load so a 450W will work just fine. But, I'd go with a newer 450W with a 12V single rail. A SSD would give you more headroom too.

I went out and got a 700, just to be safe. Runs like a champ on that. ^00 might be borderline. I wouldn't go any lower than that.

Heres the specifications for this cards wattage from a reputable review site. I use a Rosewill RG630-S12 630w psu with 40ish watts on the single 12volt rail. http://hothardware.com/Reviews/NVIDIA-GeForce-GTX-650-Ti-BOOST-Review/Perhaps it should run on your PSU, but it would have to depend on how many amps or power to your 12volt rails you got and what else is using your power IE; cpu/HDD/extra pci cards. The card is a single 6 pin Connector for power. Hope that helps.

Hi, Daniel: If i understand your question correctly, you are asking about what the power supply better for the GTX650Ti... my suggestion is 600W that i am using right now! hope this helps... Forest

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?

Per the EVGA website you need a "Minimum of a 350 Watt power supply".You didn't mention what type and model PC you have. If it is an HP they come terribly under-powered. I would upgrade your power supply. Do not try and use that card with anything less than a 350 watt power supply. I'd get a bare minimum of a 450W power supply.

I have my whole system hooked up to a 750 watt PSU except for my second card, which is hooked up to my 500 watt PSU. So if you're putting both cards on the 750 watt PSU then you should be fine.

Dont believe so, on the box it says it requires a 500W power supply, I run a 600W supply with this card.

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.

That should be fine. I'm running a 500 watt right now with this card, which would more preferable for future upgrades.

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 just purchased this card and it requires a minimum 300 Watt PS with a minimum of 20A on the 12 volt rail. This is based on a newer core-i7 processor. I have an older core-i7 and my card seems to be working ok with 18A on my 12 v rail. I am only running One monitor at the moment, but I will have to watch during heavy gaming if my PC crashed or reboots. If It does than I will need to update my Power supply.

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.

As long as you do not have several hard drives, or anything unusual in your system that is drawing extra power, then 600W is fine for this card. I would not personally go below 600W, but it will work.

No, I would recommend at least a high efficiency 450 or 500 Watt, it may power up but you can damage the card with not providing it enough power or damage your mother board. You may find some calculator that says other wise but I wouldn't risk it. (I burned up this same card and ruined my mother board pcie slot, not for running to little power but my power supply shorted giving unstable power, to little power would be unstable.

According to Newegg customer responses this card will work with as low as a 250 watt psu. However, a 400 watt PSU is recommended.

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.

You always want more power than what is suggested. It will run but will put extra wear in the 600w power supply. Took a fast look if you are spending this much on the graphics card take a look for yourself. You can find a decent 850w-1200w for under $300. I did see one under $100, when you can you want to double the power requirements.

Doing some research it's maximum power draw is 150w although most of the time will be much since it regulates power based on how hard you push the card. The minimum power supply to use is a 500 with a 6 pin aux power connector. Personally I would have at least a 600-700 just to allow for future upgrades.

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
