I install this graphic card, into a computer that has 300 watt power supply...but I get no display...why?

The power supply question has been answered numerous times.300 watts is OK. Check your cables unplug and reseat the video card. If you have a built in video card you may have to disable it from the bios. It is possible that you received a defective unit as well.

Did you uninstall all previous Video Drivers? Also start out with a simple VGA cable. Make sure you are direct connect with VGA cable computer to monitor.

I have only installed to 500 watts or more. Probably not enough power from PSU!

The power supply in this unit is a 500W standard PSU. The GPU included is an onboard AMD graphics processor unit (built into the motherboard) and cannot be upgraded but instead replaced. The cost is the cost of the card you referenced, but the power supply is not powerful enough to cover the card. For that, you might want to take a look at our AAC-T7S, which has the same graphics card as the one you list (type, that is, not the exact one) and is built for all the specs in mind. As well, it also has an Intel i7 processor, which is leaps and bounds more powerful than the AMD 8 core included in this system. The AAC-T7S can be found here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HTB0Y86/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00HTB0Y86&linkCode=as2

It doesn't look much different to me except for that eyefinity technology but it claims to do the same thing. I had to put a new power supply in with my Video Card, a Corsair 600W. The one you're looking at only requires 300W or better so you wouldn't have to swap out your power supply unless you're looking for AMD Crossfire technology, you'll have to go to a 400W power supply. My video card is very big and take up a lot of room. For the money, it looks like you have a found a comparable card for $100 less. I have had no problems for a year with my card and just this past Sunday, removed it and put it in my new PC with no issues. Good luck sir.

Update the bios on your motherboard. This will help. The newer Gigabyte graphics cards need the latest bios drivers for your motherboard as well for some reason. The same happened to me on my dell and with my custom witha a Gigabyte motherboard. A more powerful power supply would be recommended as well.

With the factory power supply, I have the EVGA GTX 650 installed in my system. Be sure to plug-in the 6 pin cable from the power supply to the video card. (required) Here's the link <http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-1024MB-Graphics-01G-P4-2650-KR/dp/B00966IU4M/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid;=1387125518&sr;=8-1-spell&keywords;=EVGA+GXT+650>

300 Watt should be able to support the current spec right now. But in the future if you are planning to upgrade to a higher end graphic card, I do recommend a larger power supply.

Depending on what else you have, and if you over clocking your CPU or the GPU it won't work. 750W is your best bet. I'm stuck in the same boat as you cause I'm trying to buy two but it won't work but I'm not trying to buy another PS

I have hooked it up to my PC and it looked fantasic. The resolution is the same as yours IIRC. Check you VGA cable, it almost sounds like it is too long or it is bad. It should look really nice when you have it working right. Also check to see how old your video card is, older cards may have trouble since it is an odd resolutions. Check the manuf web site to see if there are updated drivers. Ernie

It sounds as if either your card is bad or your monitor is bad, try using a different monitor connector. If this does not work, reinstall your old card, does the monitor receive a signal? If so it seems as though thr card is bad, begin return procedures

my system has a 350W power supply..does that mean i am ok getting this card? or do i need a separate 300w supply? sorry i am new to this... any insight would be appreciated... thanks

I would look at the specs for your motherboard and make sure it supports PCI-E which most do now as opposed to the older Accelerated Graphics Port. The other two things to consider is this card uses two PCI-E 6 prong plugin so checking your Power Supply to make sure it has that capability and last but not least this card is very long so making sure you have the room to accommodate the card. This is a two PCI-E card meaning it uses one slot and covers one other slot because the awesome cooling effect pushes hot air out the back of the case. That is alot to take in but this GPU is one of the best cards I have ever owned and does impress.

My bet is still a power issue. While it came with the upgraded power supply I'll bet they also added upgraded the video card. When I ordered mine I also ordered a 700w power supply.

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

Cycle through the source selections on the monitor. Make sure you're using the top PCI-E slot, the one closet to the CPU. Remove the video card and then put it back in. What code is being displayed in the Debug LED of the motherboard? Try disconnecting the cable then reconnect it. Try a different cable if possible. Please give more information, the more the better. Is this a new build? Was it previously working? There is the possibility of that old PCI-E card just not working in this newer PCI-E 2.0 mobo, even though technically the slot itself is backwards compatible with older cards, you will run into situations where it will not work. Please give as much information as possible though. Also list the system specs including the power supply, CPU, memory, HDD, etc

John, I'm sorry. It turns out that the problem with my computer was unrelated to the card. As for upgrading your PSU, I'm not sure if I would be able to give you useful advice.

Do you have your video cable plugged into the new card or the graphics output on the motherboard? What is your motherboard and what type of connection are you using?

Well I'm using a bronze 500 watt and it's working. I did have to use a programme called Asus gpu boost to restrict the draw to the card but it works fine. The xfx website does state you need a minimum of 750 watt to run it so yours should be fine if it us at least bronse rated
