what wattage of psu would you need for this graphics card.
476176
I have a 450 watt psu from cooler master. If youwant to be sasafe about get a 500-650 psu
476177
It all depends on what else you have in your pc. I would go to PcPartpicker.com and place your parts in there and it will tell you a estimated wattage for the whole computer.
476178
I have a 100 watt but I crossfire 2 of these cards. I believe you would be fine with a 600 watt
476179
A 450 to 500 would probably suffice. But the larger you go the more upgradability you will have in the future. PCPartPicker.com to be sure.

450w is recommended at the least it seems. I use a 600w and don't have any issues.

Well on amazom there is a nice cheap 700 watt psu if you want that its called apevia go check it out all cables you need to
476182
I don't know much about apevia but my personal preference is sticking with trusted and proven names this is what I'm using and still have plenty of room to upgrade. Like Dakota W. said go to www.pcpartpicker.com and see what you need then go from there, the compatibility filters will tell you if you select a part that wont work with your build. It makes setting up a build super easy and hassle freeEVGA 600 B1 80+ BRONZE, 600W Continuous Power, 3 Year Warranty Power Supply 100-B1-0600-KR

Hi Steve, i am not sure about the power supply i think it is 450 watts. tiger direct would know. and the graphics card is an add on card, i think the nvidia 640 or 66o and i got this because i have 3 monitors and the next lower price asus didn't handle 3 monitors. i am very happy with this unit.

It would depend on what else is running in your system, but I would recommend 500w+. This particular card is pretty efficient on power. At peak performance it can consume about 160-170watts. That's taxing it pretty hard though. But throw in a couple hard drives, optical drive, fans, and any power consuming usb peripherals, along with whatever your motherboard and processor use, and you will have an issue. Most retail systems come with a 300watt psu and they don't have a ton of overhead. 400 watts isn't much higher. I think you are asking for trouble unless you aren't planning on taxing the system with high end games. I would recommend a 600w but I think you could get away with 500 watts.

depends on other hardware, graphics card, number of harddrives etc. google "psu calculator" and compute your power needs

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

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/

http://www.extreme.outervision.com/PSUEngineThis site will help you with specifics for your computer, but it looks like the R9 290X uses about 330~ watts on its own, so I would want at least 600~650, if you have 80 certified (It has to do with the efficency, most PSUs are that efficient at least, and 80 silver + is more common). If you have a lot of HDDs or things you might even consider going up as high as a 700 watt. I hope this helps! It's a sweet card!

well sure, as long as you are within the recommended OS and processor range. With graphics cards what you are looking for (compatibility wise) is the proper slot (pcie-x16, which represents power draw/data flow rather than size), and enough power to run the graphics card. I would recommend at least 600 watts, if not more,of an 80 plus certified power supply unit, because this card uses 2 molex slots, and around 250 watts on load, and normal system builds use around 450 -500 watts without a gpu.

The wattage depends on what you are currently configured with. You can use Pcpartpicker.com to help determine it. I do recommend this PSU because of it being modular and also supports my two 650ti boosts in SLI. Power cords are long and thin so you can easily manage the cables to be nice and tidy.

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

This graphics card requires the 6 pin PCIE power supply connector and a minimum of 450 watt power supply that is capable of 24 amps on the 12 volt supply. Depending on your existing system setup, you may need to upgrade.

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.

From NVIDIA, Thermal and Power Specs: Maximum Graphics Card Power 29 (W) Minimum System Power Requirement (W) 300 W The power supply you should get is completely dependant on your entire build. But to specifically answer your question NVIDIA recommends a PSU with a minimum of 300W in this case. Sources: http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gt-610/specifications

As far as the overall watts are concerned, this is enough. There's also enough plugs for all of that (with room for another graphics card or two if you wanted more later). You should be just fine! I love this PSU. Highly recommended.

I believe the minimum wattage as stated by manufacturer is 500. But, yes, 600 watts should work for you. I'm currently using the card with a 600 watt PSU with no problems.

You should be OK. I just built a steam machine with a 430w PSU and I'm running this card just fine!

I would suggest a more powerful supply than 450W, but these are the specs from the manufacturer.Thermal and Power Specs:97C Maximum GPU Temperature (in C)150W Maximum Graphics Card Power (W)450W Minimum System Power Requirement (W)5Two 6-pin Supplementary Power Connectors
