Is this card powered by the PCIe slot or by connecting it to the power supply?

They are powered from the power supply. The PCIe slot is for data transfer.

You will need to connect it to the power supply. Most psu should have the pcie connectors for it, which I believe are two 6 pins.

I would suspect that if you're replacing a prior card in your system, your power supply will be adequate. This card does not require any additional power cable to be attached, it gets all its power from the graphic's slot. I would imagine if you have over a 300W power supply you're OK.

No. It does not require a power connection from the power supply. It draws the power it needs from the PCI-E slot.

There is two pin connector near bottom. But I do not know it is power connector or not. I do not use it. This card does not really use a lot power. Normal PCI slot is enough.

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

I have mine connected by pci-e 2 however a 400+W PSU is suggested unless you want to under clock and under volt

You can do either. But this card requires both available power adapters so take note that power consumption will be high with this card and higher running both

It's should work fine the card does not need extra power. All it need is the power from you PCI Express and you good to go.

You need to use both power supply connections and you would probably need a power supply rated at least 550 Watts (card alone is rated 175 Watts not including any other part of your system.

No. It's powered by the pcie connection. It has an optional power supply adapter, but its not necessary.

I've had a PC with the same card as you. I going to assume your motherboard has the port big enough, and you have the power supply for it. Other than that it's as simple at removing the old and putting the new one in.

It requires one 6-pin connector from the power supply. Source: I own the product and it is my current graphics card.

I got retail box and all the connectors are there. But not all the power supplies are ready for this card. I use high-end power supply. Therefore I didn't have a problem Make sure you have a power supply compatible with two six pin PCI power connectors. You should be running 600 Watt power supply at least. With two separate power channels and six pin connectors on them. This is not a power-hungry card but reliable power supply is very important.

The card should work in any PCI slot. I am not aware of the term "5v PCI slot".

This card plugs in by my experience. If their is an adapter I have no knowledge of it.

Just check your space for the card. This is a physically imposing card which corrects direct to your power source, so also be sure you have existing power lines off your power supply to enable easy hook up. If you don't have the line in place, you can hook it up of course, it just takes more playing around. But the main issue is simply fitting the card in your case. Good luck. We do love its performance.

It is a PCI-E 1x Card (not PCI)I think so, but it'd be best to check Zotac's siteNo special power supply needed, it draws it's power from the slot
