will a 300 watt power supply do?

yes.i used it with the power suppyl that came with this: Apex TM-524-3 Black Micro ATX Mini Tower Computer Case with 300W Power Supply and it worked fine.i also used it with the power supply that came with my old lenovo thinkcentre and my old dell optiplex, and i'm pretty sure those power supplies are 300w or less.

My SFF PC is running off a 250W power supply so I guess if your CPU is not the power hungry type (mine is the low end dual-core 3M cacahe 2.7GHz type), 300W probably will be okay.

Yes it will. Power supply shouldn't be a factor. I'm running with 600 watts on my backup with zero issues

You have to look at the power supply you have - if it is 300 you cannot go below, but you can go higher on the power supply. Just make sure it fits in your slot. You can find the watts on your hardware. Hope this helps!

With a pc like that I would have to say yes but I would go with something bigger but first make sure your power supply is 300 watt or bigger

That's more than enough watts. It should work with your power supply too. However, I would check any specifics on both manufacturers websites.

It would really depend on everything else in your system. If everything else pulls to much power, and there isn't enough for the video card, it will not preform as well and your power supply will wear out very quickly. I know from experience that too small of a power supply will burn out and need to be replaced. I would recommend at least a 500w.

No, or at least not well. This unit would be massively underpowered. find out how many watts your old power supply was running. then add a minimum of 200 more. look for bronze, silver or gold in the title. take a hard earned lesson from me and don't cheap out on your power supply.

You may try it, although 300W is on a low side and it may force you to go to 450-500W power supply for any further upgrades you may have in mind. I put it in the system with 650W and it works great.

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. If a power supply says it's 300w, you will actually get less than that.

yes it will it is a good card,and is also game for gaming,and can work good with a 300 watt power supply. so far all my games work including high graphic games run well. i also overclocked it to 860 core,and it performs well with zotac firestorm overclocking tool. it was a good buy. hope this helps take care

I suggest you buy a converter which supports power at least 3 times larger than what you really need, this will make you less trouble. Thus for your PS, 500W seems good enough.

Yes it would far as graphics card make sure you have high enough watts for power supply

That depends on the amount of peripherals you have ie: PCIe cards, hard drives, dvd drives ect....a 300 w power supply is more than enough to run a processor by itself but the amount of other components you are trying to run will determine the amount of power you need.

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.

I installed this on my grandson's computer with 350watt power supply. Only one hard drive and one dvd/cd drive. As long as you don't have a lot of power consuming additions you should be ok!
