I know 750w is recommended, but would a Corsair CXM 600w power supply be enough for this card?

Should be okay if you don't overclock it or your cpu. It's running fine on my cheap 700watt cooler master extreme

You always want more power than what is suggested. It will run but will put extra wear in the 600w power supply. Took a fast look if you are spending this much on the graphics card take a look for yourself. You can find a decent 850w-1200w for under $300. I did see one under $100, when you can you want to double the power requirements.

If it helps you at all, this 280x runs at about 300 watts under a full load, figure out your power consumption from your other components and always leave alittle extra. I always get a power supply to big because then in the future ive got enought for another card or something

I'd get the 600 (or possibly higher, depending on future upgrades; dual video cards etc) to be safe. there are lots of resources to determine how much of a power supply to select. google it...

Nope. On the box it says a minimum amount of power to operate properly. I think a 350W power supply is not sufficient to run this card. Plus, you will need extra 2 peripheral power connectors if you do not have a 6pin power connector to the PSU

Hello Pizurro, AMD and XFX website recommends 600w PSU, but depending on the cards, HDD and other components on your RIG a 500w is fair enough. For Crossfire you'll definitively need a 750w.

Considering how this psu failed in 6 months when i have been doing heavy duty gaming.. I think the answer is no. But if you were asking if this unit can supply enough wattage for your build, the answer is yes. UNLESS you are running SLI/Crossfire, in which case go for an 750 or 800W.

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.

750w is enough for this card. It does require 2 - 8 pin power connectors so make sure u have that on your psu. And HIS makes on of the best air coolers on the market. As long as you have good airflow in your case you won't need to worry about heat.

I know your post was almost a month ago; however if you have not received any help here are the graphic card comparison charts that you need to determine how big an upgrade that the new card would be http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/ As far as how big a power supply that you would need, this really depends on how many hard drives, optical drives, ram, etc. that you have. My suggestion would be 600 is usually a decent wattage for a power supply with an upper end graphics card.

I would suggest a power supply of at least 500 watts, such as the Corsair CX500M. This will provide more than enough power for your PC and gpu at a good price.

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.
2055935
Yes it will. Are you adding components? If not, 600w may be a bit high. The only reason to go 600 is if you're adding power-hungry components like a gaming video card. As an upgrade straight up, and considering the OEM PSU is only 350w, you can consider 380w,430w or 500w 80Plus bronze models from Corsair (CX or TX series), Antec (Earthwatts) or Seasonic (expensive but topnotch). Hope this helps.

I don't know what your entire system power requirements, but unless you have a ton of extra equipment running you should be fine with 750 watts. I'm running that gpu with a 650 Watt power supply and have zero problems.

500w is recommended yes, but this cards typical power usage will be around 150w at peak, graphics cards generally don't use all the 500w. To be safe i would highly recommend a 600w psu, just so you can have some head room so you don't bottleneck the power supply.

Yes, it recommends a minimum system PSU of 500W. 600W will be fine as long as you are using this as a single card (not SLI). Do yourself a favor and get a good PSU from a reputable brand (e.g. Seasonic). Don't skimp on the quality of the PSU to save a couple bucks.

No, a 750 watt would be more than enough, if you want to space get a modular power supply but isn't needed. Corsair has great power supplies.

Yes 750w will be fine, if you want to go sli in the future though you're going to need to more wattage.

I am using a Corsair CX 750M power supply on it and it works great! I am NOT overclocking though.
