will a 700watt coolermaster power supply power this gpu? or will l need more wattage ?

Yes, as long as you're using only a single GPU and are not running an SLI build.

It depends on what else you are running. I have a Intel 3770k, 2 SSDs and a HDD and it runs fine with a 650 watt power supply.

700 Watt will be more than enough for one GTX 760. I'm almost certain it could run two.

I have an 800watt psu powering the 760 and an additional 560 I have sitting as a physx card. so with just one 760 you should be fine.

This is a really great card. however, your concern is correct. I wouldn't try running it on a power supply that is less then 700w just to be safe. I currently run a 1100w Therm, and have had no problems.

The amount of heat that this GPU produces is too much. I personally use a 1050 Watts Seasonic PSU to stay on the safe side. I think 750W will run it with no problems although http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1851175/650w-psu-sapphire-280x-toxic.html is what you want to read.

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 tried crossfire with 2 7870's gigabyte cards with a 850 watt thermaltake power supply and it wouldn't work. I recommend no less than good name brand 1000 watt power supply. However a 1200 watt would optimal.

As long as your Power Supply is a brand name like Cooler Master or something then yes it will run it fine.Don't listen to the idiots who tell you otherwise. I run cards that required 750 WATT PSU on my 400 Watt Cooler Master already with no problems. Your entire PC won't even reach 300 watts with this GPUIf however your Power supply is a bad one some generic crap it however won't run

You could also visit http://www.coolermaster.outervision.com/ Coolermaster's wattage calculator. Looks like your setup(single card, and 7200rpm drive not green) would be about 483W. Even though TDP doesn't necessarily refer to actual power usage a 780Ti has a TDP of 250W, if it did you'd be looking at 733W. If you don't feel safe enough with that, then maybe bump up to the AX860.

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.

you need at least 550w real watts 80 plus bronze for this gpu. Try with Corsair ax series or thermaltake

Dear friend, I strongly recommend at least 300-350 watts per video card. So just for the cards you would need 900-1050 watts. You still need some more power to the rest of the system. Get that 1600 psu ASAP...

The power needed for the CPU should also be considered. I read somewhere that MSI recommended 500 watts for a system with 1 card. Since you are overclocking the CPU?, and the GPU?, I would recommend a 850 watt PSU at a minimum just to be safe and avoid power issues. Have fun!

I would suggest a more powerful supply than 450W, but these are the specs from the manufacturer.Thermal and Power Specs:97C Maximum GPU Temperature (in C)150W Maximum Graphics Card Power (W)450W Minimum System Power Requirement (W)5Two 6-pin Supplementary Power Connectors

I bought a 750 cause what I had didn't quite worked with this GPU, and I haven't had any problems with it. My advice is that you get a nice performing 600+ watt power supply so you don't have to worry about it. Peace :)
1581455
Yes it will. If you are going to use powerful graphic cards, the 725 watt supply would be best.

The GTX 970 wants at least a 500W PSU, but I've never had it draw that much power, You should be fine, but you might want to be on the safe side and go up to the 500W

The decision on what power supply to pick depends on your whole system and future proof. Google power supply calculator to be certain, but most people won't need more than 550w. Will you be doing overclocking? Are you planning on buying another 6950 in the future and Crossfire them? Are you using H2O cooler? How many hard drives do you have? DVDRW and Blu-Ray player? For a single Graphic card system, a 650w is more than capable.

That depends on the graphic card you will be using.650 WATT FOR SINGLE CARD. 2 GRAPHIC CARDS 750 WATT. I RUN A 850 WATT FOR MY RIG POWER TO UPGRADE.
