How long could this power a 500 watt desktop?

It was seldom used for the first 4 months, then I realise it was not taking a full charge and it got progressively worse worse

It should be well more than enough to cover it. That combination, even overclocked, should use around 500W of power, taking into account everything you'll have in your system.

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

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.

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.

barely!!! if you don't have too many other things going on it will work other wise get at least 500 watt power supply and that would be better

I'm not sure, but it can't be much. I have it running in a 250w slim desktop system. Seems fast enough, but the fan noise is pretty loud if you run any sort of a game that uses the graphics.

I am not sure. I have previously installed a 1,000W Power Supply. Sorry I could not be of too much help. Regards!

The manufacturer says, "The display card requires up to 225 watts of power". Most desktops with an i5 or i7 draw less that 100 watts. A 460 watt power supply is more than adequate. It seems people are always telling you that you need a humongous power supply but anyone that builds computers and/or uses them professionally like I do know this is just hype. I run two computers, a monitor, a 23" LED LCD HD TV, and a lot of other minor items behind an UPS and all of them seldom draw more than 300 watts combined. When playing a high GUI game the draw may go as high as 350 watt for everything. Fred Brooks owner and CEO, H&O PC Solutions

It should work just fine. Provided you have a big enough power supply. I personally use a 500 watt

300 Watt or greater power supply with a minimum of 18 Amp on the +12 volt rail

Sounds like that's a 250 Watt power supply. It doesn't hurt to use a beefier power supply, so a 400W would fulfill your power needs very well. I don't know why companies put puny power supplies in things. As long as it has the connectors you need for your motherboard and hardware, it should do fine. The person who got this supply put in his computer says it's been working fine.

well you may find you need more than 200 watt transformer. i got a 500 and run all my U.S. stuff on it. ie TV, laptop.. hard drives :)... ps stay away from the one with the usb port. its junk.....

I believe the minimum power supply is 500W. I use a 550W and haven't had any problems.

Most likely not, you simply wouldn't have enough current available. I wouldn't use anything less than a 750 W

yes, as long that is not too old and is a good brand, i tested with a 500w (new) cheap generic power supply and works well too.

Yes, not sure what you are asking either, but the reply from uberzilla should help! It is also my understanding that you don't need to worry about going too high on the watts, although there's no point in wasting your money for more watts than you need to power your system/graphics card.
