I'm on an 850w xfx PSU. I plan on crossfiring my 280x in like 2 weeks. Does this have enough; not power, but hook up for that?

yes it does. I have four r9 280x sapphire vapor-x running on two of these and a 5870hd as well

It has 2 pairs of six pin + eight pin connectors. That means it has a 6 pin and 6+2 PIN on the same lead and has two of these leads. If you need 4 eight pin connectors and don't have any adapters you'll be S.O.L.

Yes, I have a 290X & 7950 running on this unit with 7+ inches of extra cable on both PCI-e power cable leads. This Unit has been running 24/7 on full load for weeks!

I have this card running with an amd A10-6800k apu on a 430 watt Corsair CX 430 power supply. It's rated at 32 amps 12v, and I'd consider that the bare minimum.Just do the math, 32 amps * 12v is 384 watts. This card draws 150 watts under load, leaving me with a little over 200 watts for the CPU and other devices. So my setup is fine, but if you have a higher end i7 or AMD FX CPU, you'd need a bigger power supply.

I have a mining rig and a kill-a-watt. I also have 2 PSU's. I've seen the kill-a-watt read about 75w increase for each of these cards plugged into the 2nd PSU. However I've never tested the increase off the 1st PSU, power that it pulls from the Mother Board. I've only heard antidotally that they pull 50w from the MoBo.

my system has a 350W power supply..does that mean i am ok getting this card? or do i need a separate 300w supply? sorry i am new to this... any insight would be appreciated... thanks

Yes i have a 750W PSU and it should be even enough for a crossfire with two of these GPUs

I tried crossfire with 2 7870's gigabyte cards with a 850 watt thermaltake power supply and it wouldn't work. I recommend no less than good name brand 1000 watt power supply. However a 1200 watt would optimal.

Hi robert,Sorry for the delay, I used a watt meter to see how much my system was using. I have a big CPU cooler and this graphic card and I was reading 300 or so watts at the wall receptacle. I lean the way of others. While you could probably get by for a while with your power supply, solid voltage = stability in the computer world. If your PS is always near its limit, you may run in a lot of issues. A PS is fairly cheap and easy to install. I have a seatronic 750 S series to give me room for expansion in the future but it may be an overkill. A good 650 would be just fine for sure.Regards Hi robert,Sorry for the delay, I used a watt meter to see how much my system was using.

No, the minimum PS requirement is 750W. XFX actually recommends their 850W PSU. Even though it's ambiguous as to what kind of PSU they're referring to, you're hard pressed these days to find anything less than 80%+ effecient. Nominal consumption for this card is between 150-200W, even at 100% efficiency, that's not much left for your cpu and other components, depending on what you have.

Well I'm using a bronze 500 watt and it's working. I did have to use a programme called Asus gpu boost to restrict the draw to the card but it works fine. The xfx website does state you need a minimum of 750 watt to run it so yours should be fine if it us at least bronse rated

I'm running 2 cards (not CF) and a 125 watt cpu all at full power and my ups shows a power draw of around 450 watts. but the single card and 125 watt cpu is reading around 330 watts. follow the recommended wattage, 500w i think, but even in a 2 card cross fire, you won't need more than 1000W, beyond 1Kw is excessive.

I used a Lepa MaxBron 1000W 80PLUS Bronze Hybrid Modular ATX Power Supply I also ran r9 280, plus all the normal computer parts. Hope this out

I use a 750w psu for 2 of them in a crossfire configuration, works like a dream.

The PSU has 2 six pin plus 2 connectors on the same cable. I used it to fire up a i7 920 with 1 HD6450, powered by the board. there was not enough juice. Removed it, and have not found a use for it yet. You should be in the market for a single rail, 750-800 watt, with 60 plus amps on it. This power supply doesn't produce good numbers after 35% load.

the wattage should be fine but you also need supplemental power plugged directly into this card from the psu.

the card alone at TDP will use close to 250 watts... so unless you have an atom processor and no HDDs... more watts the better ;). Plus most psus are less then efficient, My guess is that 350 watts is more like 300

Yes, but it also depends on your total system requirements. The 650Ti Boost is specified to draw about 150W at peak. I am using mine with a bronze-certified 450W Silverstone ST45SF, which was the highest power mini-itx supply I could find at the time. I haven't had any problems, and my system is in the range of 60% - 70% of the PSU's capacity. But I'm running a relatively low power CPU (i5 3350P), a single GPU, 1 HDD, and 1 CD drive. If you have a lot of power-hungry hardware you may want to do the power calculation.

I was running an Antec 850W and it was fine. But, when I bought another card to run in Sli, I had to bump it up to over 1000W. I think it will all depend on what else you are running.
