I have a gateway DX4860 with a 300w PSU, the item description says it recommends a 450w PSU. Will this card work for me without a PSU upgrade?

It depends what you will use it for. My only purpose was a digital monitor with an old Dell Optiplex and I doubt I have your 300 Watts. Also to update what I could do with it regarding video but not gaming with a console. The other site I use for computer parts recommends 400 watts if that's the case.

The power supply that I'm using is 400W on a Gateway system. Seems to perform pretty well and I've had no problems so far.

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.

Yes it will work. I was running mine on a 500W psu. You won't get the PCI-e 2.0 speed from the card with a PCI-e slot, but it will still work.

Dont worry about it, tha card comes with all the adapters you need, i even used this card with a 600W PSU that came with the connectors just as you described

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.

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.

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.

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

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

I believe the minimum wattage as stated by manufacturer is 500. But, yes, 600 watts should work for you. I'm currently using the card with a 600 watt PSU with no problems.

I'm using 850W one for cross fire. I think 450W would be fine for single card, but it depends on your other hardwares.

No, your wattage for your power supply should exceed your maximum draw (I'd recommend by 5-10%). My computer only draws 50W max but I got this PSU for other reasons. For me the 72W would work

Should work fine, card is fairly small and does not need more than like a 450w ps.

Make sure that you listen for buzzing noises which might mean that the card is pulling too much power. It should work fine with a 300 to 350w power supply but the recommended wattage is 450w.

No. I would not recommend a 300w PSU. I have a 550w PSU with my installation.
