I was wondering how big of a power supply I would need it order to run this graphics card?

I replaced my 350 with a 600 w , seemed to improve the whole operation as a BF4 gamer. Not a big job if you pay attention , one wire at a time. Good luck

A power suppuy with 600 watts will be enough, make sure it has 2 pci express of 4 and 8 pins, and remember to be sure its compatible with your motherboard

This is from the EVGA web site:Minimum of a 500 Watt power supply. (Minimum recommended power supply with +12 Volt current rating of 30 Amps.) An available 6-pin PCI-E power connector and an available 8 pin PCI-E power connector Total Power Draw : 170 Watts

It requires one 6-pin connector from the power supply. Source: I own the product and it is my current graphics card.

Forgot to mention, these cards do not require any extra plug ins from your power supply. That should give you an idea how little the video card needs.

I would suspect that if you're replacing a prior card in your system, your power supply will be adequate. This card does not require any additional power cable to be attached, it gets all its power from the graphic's slot. I would imagine if you have over a 300W power supply you're OK.

It depends on how many other things you have in your system, but 850w should be more than enough. I'm running my card on a 550 W PSU right now. As long as you have the needed power connections off your psu you are golden.

It really depends on your graphics card. I have this, 8GB of RAM, and a Radeon HD7770 with a 550W power supply and it's plenty.

you will be perfectly fine i have a 430 watt psu currently and i never even get near t going over that. this graphics card uses only about 80 watts on average. The only time you need to worry about wattage is when you get higher end cards or more of them.

Should work fine, card is fairly small and does not need more than like a 450w ps.

Doing some research it's maximum power draw is 150w although most of the time will be much since it regulates power based on how hard you push the card. The minimum power supply to use is a 500 with a 6 pin aux power connector. Personally I would have at least a 600-700 just to allow for future upgrades.

Check power requirements for your new graphics card. Chances are you will also need to upgrade the power supply.

yes. make sure your power supply has enough wattage and amps for the card you plan on putting into your pc. The power supply unit itself should have the amps and wattage rating on it. The amps you should look out for are below the +12v rail. This rail will be the main connector for the graphics card. if not, you can always buy one on amazon.

It depends on what other components you are running, you can use a power consumption calculator to figure it out (http://www.extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp) but its a very high likelyhood you can run this graphics card no problem.

I looked up that build and I don't know that the power supply is beefy enough, 250 or 300w is the size I found for it. 400w is the minimum for this card I believe. (mine is 450w and I have had no issues with the card at all.) I can't recommend it for you on that computer, because it would likely cause issues for you. Sorry. :/

The one I had lasted 3 years running almost constantly. My video card went bad and took it with it. I upgraded to an 800 Watt Thermaltake model when I replaced the video card. You didn't mention what else you are running like additional hard drives or DVD / CD drives. It's a good, dependable power supply, so it may be all you need. Personally, I would go a little bigger.

I believe the recommended minimum power supply for two GTX 780 cards is 800W. From personal experience though, it is always better to have a power supply that exceeds the recommended minimum. I think your best bet would be to go with the 1000W.

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.

300 W power supply is enough to run this card. There are no separate power supply cord or connection is necessary.
