Will i be able to use this graphics card with basically any power supply?

Realistically, I wouldn't try it on anything under 300 watts, 350 should work (this is what I have), and anything above that will work fine.

I would suspect that if you're replacing a prior card in your system, your power supply will be adequate. This card does not require any additional power cable to be attached, it gets all its power from the graphic's slot. I would imagine if you have over a 300W power supply you're OK.

Yes, it also does not need to be powered from a 6 or 8 pin power connector.

This graphics card manufacturers specifications call for a minimum power supply of 500 Watts. In the real world I would suspect that if you have a quality power supply of at least 350 Watts it would probably work. That being said, a 350 - 450 Watt power supply may fail at anytime or prematurely. Additionally, no secondary power connector is required...just the PCI Express slot on your motherboard. Good Luck

Can't answer that since it would most definitely depend on what other components you have. This card does not require a lot of power by design, but the total power load would depend on the other components in your system - not just this card.

I believe so... The card doesn't need it's own power supply, so you should be good. It does require the pci-e slot on your board.

If it has a pci-express slot and power/supply has 6 pin pci plug you should be good to go.Make sure you download drivers and AMD applicable performance programs i.e. AMD catalyst. Good Luck.... Rudy

You can use it normally, it will not fry, but you'll need a good power supply with two 8 pins cables only for it. this video card is very big, so need a gamer case.

I paired this card with a 400 watt power supply, and that's about as low as power supplies go. So I'd say you're safe with at least 400 watts.

Yes it would far as graphics card make sure you have high enough watts for power supply

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.

The required power supply for this type of card is minimum 800w (espesially if you plan to overclock) with 2power cables dedicated for this video card, so make sure the number of power outlets from the supply is enough for all you other components (ie DVD drive, hard drive, ect) good luck

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.)

You power supply (PS) should have a connector that will mate with the graphics card. If no, you probably have an under-powered PS and need to upgrade.

Depends if your motherboard has a 240 pin power connector. And yes the power supply comes with 2 six pin connectors and a 4 pin connector so it can handle virtually any graphics cards power needs or connectors. And this power supply could handle my AMD 8 core proccesor with much power to spare so you should be good!

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.

500w is recommended yes, but this cards typical power usage will be around 150w at peak, graphics cards generally don't use all the 500w. To be safe i would highly recommend a 600w psu, just so you can have some head room so you don't bottleneck the power supply.

Should Work for normal usage, though I doubt the 460W PSU will provide enough juice for the card with intensive graphics use.

You can use a 650w psu or any other over the 500w. Just be sure that you have an available 4pin power supply cable to connect the graphic card 6 pins cable.
