Will this card run on a 450 Watt power supply?

It should run fine. But check and make sure it will with everything else on your PC.

300 watts is insufficient for this card. I'd recommend a 500w of real power. Don't buy a cheap brand. The longevity and safety of your entire PC rests in the PSUs hand.

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#

That should be fine. I'm running a 500 watt right now with this card, which would more preferable for future upgrades.

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.

Truth be told the manufacturer recommends a 400W power supply which seems like a very high wattage requirement? Since they cannot be sure of your system configuration they have to err towards caution to ensure that you have adequate power to drive the card! Here is one of the best calculators I have used to check power consumption resource needs . . .http://www.thermaltake.outervision.com/

I think it will work. I didn't try it with a 500w power supply. But you can check it with yourself by checking the ampearage. Check the ampearage of the +12v rail. If it have a value of more than the card requires it will good to go..

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

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.)

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

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.

No your perfectly fine since this card is a low power consumption card. Now it depends on what kind of processor you have. If you have intel you may need to upgrade it. If you have an amd like a 4100 your perfectly fine. If you have that processor and gpu it only requires 240 watts

you will be perfectly fine i have a 430 watt psu currently and i never even get near t going over that. this graphics card uses only about 80 watts on average. The only time you need to worry about wattage is when you get higher end cards or more of them.

You will want a 500 watt power supply min if your running 1 card. I do not have a program to test the power consumption it dose take a single 6 pin.

I am using a 650wattt power supply. The card needs a power source other than the mainboard.

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

My suggestion would be a 450 watt power supply. I had just upgraded to a 600 watt before I bought the card. When I researched this card originally, people said that the original 300 watt would work but I think it needs the extra wattage.
