my computer has 300w will this card support it amd athlon 2.5ghz

My Dell XPS Studio also has a 300 Watt power supply and I have had no issues since installing the card

Addendum to my previous answer........... it is indeed on the low side but if you are not playing serious serious games it will be fine. I am running full Blue Ray with no issues

You may try it, although 300W is on a low side and it may force you to go to 450-500W power supply for any further upgrades you may have in mind. I put it in the system with 650W and it works great.

From the AMD web site: ATI Radeon HD 5770 System Requirements 450 Watt or greater power supply with one 75W 6-pin PCI Express power connectors recommended

I ran it with a 300w and it ran fine. However, for the price, there are better cards you can get, like the 7750 and 7770 that aren't very expensive, but perform very well.

I am using the card in a couple of old Dell OptiPlex computers with power supplies that are limited to 305W maximum output; all is well. Unless you have three hard drives or other non-typical loads, my educated guess is that the card will work just fine with your 280W power supply.

280w is more than double what you would actually need to run this thing. It only draws around 30w. The most the PCIE slot can provide is 75w, so you're fine.

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

ud better use a power supply more than 800w. I use a corsair 1000w supply for 4790k and this card.

It's really more complicated than that, the card itself is 60W TDP (Thermal Design Point). You must consider your system's makeup -- i.e. processor, expansion cards, USB devices, drives, # monitors, and memory. Try searching on "power supply calculators" to see.That said, this card's TDP is so low, most systems should run it fine. A 300W PSU with an i7 CPU and lots of peripherals might have issues.

Probably. I have a 750 Watt psu and I run this card, an AMD fx 8350 clocked to 4.9ghz on all cores, 3 ssd, and a 3tb hdd.

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

Yes and no, it may cause issues as the card needs 300w to run, but I ran it on 500w for about 2 months before I upgraded and it caused power surges but as long as your power supply has a 6 pin and 8 pin, then you should have no issues running it, it more depends on its power consumption while gaming

300W If you upgrade the video card, be sure to change the power supply too!

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 would not. It requires 450 watts of power.Source: http://www.amd.com/us/products/desktop/graphics/ati-radeon-hd-5000/hd-5770/Pages/ati-radeon-hd-5770-overview.aspx#3

This card uses 105W. My PC power supply is only 320W but I do not have anything in the other PCIe slots and it works fine.

Make sure that you listen for buzzing noises which might mean that the card is pulling too much power. It should work fine with a 300 to 350w power supply but the recommended wattage is 450w.

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.
