power supply size for this card

Right now I'm using a 600wat and it's working perfectly fine. So I don't think you need a big supply for it unless you are trying to run a fast cpu

This card uses 105W. My PC power supply is only 320W but I do not have anything in the other PCIe slots and it works fine.

It depends on the other components in your system. I run a 450w power supply with this card and no issues. If your CPU is sucking up more than average watts you may require more , but this card has a very low power requirement considering pretty good performance.

I looked up that build and I don't know that the power supply is beefy enough, 250 or 300w is the size I found for it. 400w is the minimum for this card I believe. (mine is 450w and I have had no issues with the card at all.) I can't recommend it for you on that computer, because it would likely cause issues for you. Sorry. :/

Hello Emon...I'm not sure. I'm using a slightly smaller card. You will not be disappointed by the unit in any way!!!

you should have min 350 watts ps, the total power draw is 65watts. anything less your taking a chance with you system crashing or worse also PCI-E power connector is is used for more info go to http://www.evga.com/support/manuals/files/EVGA_Manual_EN.pdf this the manual and may give a better ideal

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.

This would be a great card but you might want to go to a power supply calculator to see if you psu can handle this card and everything else you have.

It's actually a very small and compact card! Use very little energy alongside with intel set-up.Minimum PSU wattage is 450W

You may not even need a bigger power supply. It would be worth it to try without changing your power supply first. I'm running an i7 3930k, 32 gb ram, and two of these cards on only a 750 watt... Depending on the wattage if your stock power supply you should be okay!

I have a 850w power supply. A 650 will probably work. But like most things bigger is better and if you're gonna spend the money on a good card I would at least think about a bigger power supply. It's a great card though well worth the price.

I know your post was almost a month ago; however if you have not received any help here are the graphic card comparison charts that you need to determine how big an upgrade that the new card would be http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/ As far as how big a power supply that you would need, this really depends on how many hard drives, optical drives, ram, etc. that you have. My suggestion would be 600 is usually a decent wattage for a power supply with an upper end graphics card.

This card needs a minimum 300 watt PSU according to Nividia web site. sorry Make sure you keep the dust blown out of your computer, it will add years to its life. Ed

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#

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.

You will have to open it and see if you have a PCI Express available and that your power supply has enough amps. amps-at least 24 on the 12V rail. Watts-450

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.

the wattage should be fine but you also need supplemental power plugged directly into this card from the psu.

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.
