What is the power supply needed for this graphics card?

400w although this card is a waste of your money get a card with ddr5 memory

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.

If you use a branded or certified power supply (i.e. thermaltake, antec, coolermaster, etc), 420W should be enough (at least 700W for a generic power supply). There are several power calculators in the web so you can be more specific (i.e. aditional fans, lights, drives). I made a calculation with a mid range processor (core i5) and 2 x GT630 (crossfire), and still did not need more than 420W. I hope that helps.

Doesn't have connection for power supply. After 3 months it's working fine.

I have 350 watt and the card is fine. I wouldn't use anything less. The only problem I have is that when I connect my monitor via HDMI, the display output is larger than my screen.

found this forum post. according to it: "...a minimum of a 500 Watt or greater power supply." www.tomshardware.com/forum/348776-33-radeon-7850

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.

From the AMD web site: ATI Radeon HD 5770 System Requirements 450 Watt or greater power supply with one 75W 6-pin PCI Express power connectors recommended

The EVGA GeForce GT 630 1024MB GDDR5, DVI, VGA and HDMI Graphics Card 01G-P3-2632-KR requires a minimum of a 350W PSU. I upgraded my PSU to a 480W for a very reasonable price from a local merchant.

The card at max usage requires about 140W, so I think with a 450 Power Supply would be fine for a whole system.The card require only one extra PCIe power supply connector. My previous GTX260 requied two.

The card calls for 550watt power supply minimum on the box. I run a Corsair TX650 to power it and my hardware with a i5-3570k CPU. I think a 750watt would work well if you want at least that. :)

300 W power supply is enough to run this card. There are no separate power supply cord or connection is necessary.

No. It requires at least a 600 watt power supply. See: http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-780/specifications

You power supply (PS) should have a connector that will mate with the graphics card. If no, you probably have an under-powered PS and need to upgrade.

This graphics card requires a minimum 350Watts ... I have it with a 600 watt generic psu and pci express x16 1.0 port and works perfect.

Assuming you're not running a bunch of other stuff in your computer along with it, yes, 650W is plenty. The card has a theoretical maximum draw of 225W (but only pulls about 170W max).

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/

it is. on the safe side i went with a Antec TruePower Quattro 850W Power Supply. this graphics card requires TWO 8pin adapter for ultimate performance capacity.

no it's not. You need at least 550W to get the full potential of this card.
