It comes with a 300 watt power supply, isn't that small? Would you recommend installing a larger power supply?

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.

It'll work if you have at least a 400 watt power supply, I put it in a build that had a 350 watt power supply and it seemed to work fine, but go with 400 watts or more lol.

Why not? It's always recommended to purchase more power then your computer needs. That is what I have read anyway.

No. It doesn't required separate power plug. Your 300W power supply will be fine. It is a good vid card.

I have an hp p7-1003 that had a 250 watt power supply factory so I had to upgrade to a 450 watt. They recommend at least 350 watt though

If it is the same as the reference design then no additional power supply is necessary, it will run off the bus as it is only 60 watts. 300W power supply should be adequate.

I remember swapping out a power supply for a friend that had the slimline architecture. 300 watts was enough and it did fit into the computer. Be sure you have the screws lined up.

Yes, it is a 3000 watt supply. It would take exactly half the power of the unit. Furthermore, there is a meter indicating how high the power that you are using from the unit as a safety if I am not mistaken. I use it to power a humidifier, air purifier, playstation 4, tv, and a computer at the same time. It is worth the money.

It should work just fine. Provided you have a big enough power supply. I personally use a 500 watt

I am actually using a 300w PSU and everything works just fine for the past week (i7-4770, 8G ram, two HDs). But don't try to take my word and keep a 300w psu for long bc it's supposed to be dangerous to your equipment. I've ordered a 500W PSU and will replace as soon as it arrives.

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!

No. And the company sucks. Look elsewhere and overestimate your watts by 50%. So go to 300 watts.

it depends on the rest of your system but this GPU isn't a power hungry . only uses 65watts max so it do'll find on a 300 watt PUS :D

barely!!! if you don't have too many other things going on it will work other wise get at least 500 watt power supply and that would be better

350 watt is way too low for this. You will need at lest a 600 watt power supply

That's what I've got it plugged into. Works great (for the power consumption - I only have a 300W supply)!
