What is watt requirement for this graphic card?

According to NVidia, this card pulls 49 watts. It does not have any 6 or 8 pin power connectors. As long as you have at least a 300 watt power supply, it will be fine.

Depends on the rest of your hardware. This card uses 150w, you will have to calculate the rest on your own. Minimum recommended is 500w.

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.

170W is what Nvidia's site says for this card. I am not sure how MSI's modifications have affected this.

Check out your spec's at Dell and then compare with NVidia site http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gt-630/specifications The main thing is to be sure you computers Power supply is sufficient. This card requires a minimum of 300 Watts.

According to nVidia, the max power consumption for the GeForce 8400gs chipset installed on a card is 71 watts. I suspect that typical is below that value (for the Asus 1 GB version) since the card doesn't get particularly warm.

I would not recommend this graphics card, get one with a fan, but if you really want this card, it will work with a computer asking it has about 300 watt powe supply

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.

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.

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.

It really depends on what you intend to use the PC for and what peripherals you'll be using. If you're looking for minimum power, then 250 Watts will get you by with a couple of hard drives, an optical drive, and on-board video. Nothing more. Graphics cards will require 350 watts and higher. From there, you'll need to review what the minimum specs are for that graphics card.

You do NOT need anything over a 300 watt to run this card. I've seen people running a GTX 670 on a 330 watt.

I use 650W . I think it is enough. You can search some websites that tells you exactly how much you need depending on your computer.

400 watt or greater is the recommendation for this model. You should calculate how your psu is destrobuting it's power to make sure you can delegate enough to the card

Hi Steve, i am not sure about the power supply i think it is 450 watts. tiger direct would know. and the graphics card is an add on card, i think the nvidia 640 or 66o and i got this because i have 3 monitors and the next lower price asus didn't handle 3 monitors. i am very happy with this unit.

Don't know exactly. Information should be available from video card maker. I am using with a 380W power supply with no issues, but also no gaming. HTPC application.

Also, the important spec to verify on your PSU is adequate amperage on the 12 v. rail. Match or exceed the req'mts. of the graphics card.
