I think its to low, it depends on what system you have, but i still think 460 is to low, i have 750..

The manufacturer says, "The display card requires up to 225 watts of power". Most desktops with an i5 or i7 draw less that 100 watts. A 460 watt power supply is more than adequate.It seems people are always telling you that you need a humongous power supply but anyone that builds computers and/or uses them professionally like I do know this is just hype. I run two computers, a monitor, a 23" LED LCD HD TV, and a lot of other minor items behind an UPS and all of them seldom draw more than 300 watts combined. When playing a high GUI game the draw may go as high as 350 watt for everything.Fred Brooks owner and CEO, H&O; PC Solutions The manufacturer says, "The display card requires up to 225 watts of power".

The number of watts that your power supply manufacturer specs out isn't the whole story. You need to look up how many amps it can put out on the different "rails" it has. Either the product page where you bought it from or the sticker on the physical device should say. Take the number of amps on the 12V rails (add them up if there's multiple values) and multiply by 12. That's how many watts you have for your GPU and CPU (and some other small bits.)

it needs a minimum 500w power supply with a minimum 12 volt current rating of 38 amps.Don't just get the minimum, get at the least 600w, more if you can afford it.

I paired this card with a 400 watt power supply, and that's about as low as power supplies go. So I'd say you're safe with at least 400 watts.

Has to be a 600W one, 460 isn't enough. Mine was too and the video killed my motherboard!

yes, you should be fine considering psus work best when theire at their limits. you can also use teh asus psu calculator here, http://support.asus.com/powersupply.aspx, to give you an idea of what you need. Just put in your specs and it will tell you the RECOMMENDED psu wattage which is always more than enough. 600 is fine.

The recommended minimum is 450w. However, my machine only uses a 192w when I'm using my my GPU at 100% on a i5 3570K. I think it will work fine on a 400w, but continuous use at 100% GPU may lead to a short life of your power supply.

Yes anything over 300W is more than enough, however i wouldn't chance it. This is probably the most unstable video card on the market. This model is notorious for blue screens after installation. Buyer Beware.

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.
638875
Yes, it is. However, you should check consumption of other components of the system and you should bear in mind that recommended PSU for this adaptor is 1200W.
1533982
yes, just make sure your power supply can handle it. at least 450 or 500 watts

Should be fine. I have this card and a 550 watt psu and haven't had any issues since I got the card a few months ago.

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
2080240
Yes, 500 watts should be more than enough. Make sure that you use a decent brand name PSU.As mentioned below, if you are running a massive overclock on the CPU or try to overclock the GPU then you might run into some issues. On stock clocks and with a normal build you should be absolutely fine.

Hi dude, the box says: "500Watts or greater power supply". If you have a certified (real) 500W PSU, you'll be ok.

you should be fine as long as you arent planning on running a super high end graphics card with it because 500w might be a little bit low for some of the major graphics cards. but if you're just gonna run something like a 6850 or something you should be just fine. hope this helps

Yes, if it's an atx mobo that is an atx psu., but you should be more specific about your power needs. Is 750 enough or too much? Find a psu calculator online. It will help you.

Yes, if it is a bronze standard 500 watt power supply. I recommend 700 watt bronze standard power supply if you want to over clock your cpu, memory, and graphics card in the near future. This graphics card has tweaking capability.

Your power supply is more than enough for this card. 300 watts is the minimum requirement, you have 350 watts so you are good to go, my friend.
