will this card run on 300 watts??

I'm gonna be safe and tell you that 300 watts is dangerously low for this card. I would recommend at least a 500 watt power supply. Anything below that and you're pushin' it. You also have to take into account the other things in your build, like CPU and how many Hard Drives you've got. So a 500 would definitely give you plenty of power for the 650ti boost, as well as giving you room for future growth.

No, the card must have a minimum of 400 Watt power supply. The card alone uses 110 Watts. Source: http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=01G-P4-3650-KR#

From the specifications on the EVGA website: Minimum of a 450 Watt power supply (Minimum recommended power supply with +12 Volt current rating of 24 Amps.), Total Power Draw : 140 Watts. So, the PC supply should be capable of 450W but the total video card is 140W.

NO :) if you do try your CPU will get fried cause thats what happened to me on a 350 watt PS

Will it run? Yes ...........will it perform in the way you want it to for the reason you are buying the card in the first place? no! As a rule of thumb any graphics card that requires a 6-pin pcie power connector needs a minimum of 500 watts. This card should have about 600 to run correctly.

You're PSU must have 75 watts free to have this card run. Example, if your computer and its components run at 400 watts and you have a 500 watt PSU you could add this card and have 25 watts left over.

I don't know what your entire system power requirements, but unless you have a ton of extra equipment running you should be fine with 750 watts. I'm running that gpu with a 650 Watt power supply and have zero problems.

as long as you have a PSU with at least 300 watts you should be fine-- if the card needs a pci express cable, you may have to use a molex or sata to pci express adapter- just fyi

280w is more than double what you would actually need to run this thing. It only draws around 30w. The most the PCIE slot can provide is 75w, so you're fine.

A 300 w PSU will probably allow it to operate, but if you can, I would get a better PSU since it affects graphics card performance. I ordered a new 400 w PSU along with this card. Just make sure you know what you're doing if you swap out the old PSU for the new one.

You better upgrade your power supply at least to 400 watt. Check the power requirements of this card.

Yes and no, it may cause issues as the card needs 300w to run, but I ran it on 500w for about 2 months before I upgraded and it caused power surges but as long as your power supply has a 6 pin and 8 pin, then you should have no issues running it, it more depends on its power consumption while gaming

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

The spec sheet says the minimum power requirement is 300 watts for the system and 65 for the card, so it would seem your system is right on the edge.

According to the manufacturer this card needs 550W:http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4102#sp , Power requirement = 550 W

I would not recommend this graphics card, get one with a fan, but if you really want this card, it will work with a computer asking it has about 300 watt powe supply

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.

Yes anything over 300W is more than enough, however i wouldn't chance it. This is probably the most unstable video card on the market. This model is notorious for blue screens after installation. Buyer Beware.

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 card alone at TDP will use close to 250 watts... so unless you have an atom processor and no HDDs... more watts the better ;). Plus most psus are less then efficient, My guess is that 350 watts is more like 300

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.
