What is the minimum power supply wattage required?

Bear in mind, the PSU they "require" isn't about what the card needs; it's an assumption about the overall needs of computers the manufacturer figures might be needed. This card requires no power other than the PCI express lane --- that only supplies 75 watts. So this thing only needs 75 watts or less for itself.

per instruction on the box 350 watt or greater power supply with a minium of 20 amps on the 12 volt rail.

It doesn't take much at all. You don't even need an extra power connector. It all comes from the motherboard.

Honestly, no. The graphics card technically needs 400 watts, I changed out the 350 with a 750. The computer should have at least a 400-450 watt at a minimum.

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.

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

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.

400 would be pushing it. I have a 600w and it does fine. I would say the minimum would be 500w but it really depends on your total power consumption system wide.

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.

This graphics card requires a minimum 350Watts ... I have it with a 600 watt generic psu and pci express x16 1.0 port and works perfect.

The power supply must be 350W or greater (with a minimum 12V current rating of 20A). One card which consumes less power is the Evga GeForce GT 430 requiring 300 Watt or greater with a minimum of 22 amps on the +12 volt rail. The lower memory capacity has less heat but less gaming satisfaction, and it's compatible with Windows 7.

According to this cards specifications on Newegg.com, 400 Watts is the minimum.

The TDP of the card is advertised as 150W, although it should be a little lower considering it can still be overclocked within it's physical power input restrictions (75W through pci-E slot + 75W from the 6-pin connector). But yeah, 150W is a safe estimate. As to the wattage required to run a system (i.e. power supply requirement) people will throw random numbers at you like 500W PSU or better, but the truth is that it all depends on the hardware you are running. I suggest you do some google search for a power calculator and do your own math and see what kind of PSU you're going to need.

I'm not sure what the minimum power supply is , but i put it in a 12 year old Dell 4400 that can't have a very powerful power supply if that helps.

can't really tell .All depends on how your pc is configured. I personally used a 650w

You will need at least a 400w power supply. But it does depend on the other components in your computer. You can figure this out by adding up the power usage of all your components. You will want your power supply to provide more power than you need. You can search on line for power supply calculators. They will make determining your power supply needs a little easier.

500 watt minimum with 2 8-pin PCI-Express connectors. It comes with an adapter if you only have 6 pin connectors.

Recommended is a 300w minimum power supply. The EVGA GeForce 8400GS 1GB SDDR3 requires a 350w min. PSU.

You will want a 500 watt power supply min if your running 1 card. I do not have a program to test the power consumption it dose take a single 6 pin.
