Is an 600 watt psu powerful enough for this card?

This can't straight from newegg . . . . . . 600 watt or greater power supply with a minimum of 42 amps on the +12 volt rail. Two 8-pin PCI Express power connectors or four available 6-pin PCI Express power. So yes I think toy will get away with it.

I use a 650 and I sing just fine... and have for maybe a half year without a hitch. ..

I recommend using something better than a 600 -.- keep in mind ur system needs power too, for the best I recommend 875w+

You can use a 650w psu or any other over the 500w. Just be sure that you have an available 4pin power supply cable to connect the graphic card 6 pins cable.

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

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.

I assume you mean power supply wattage. Recommended is 500 watts. If you are ever going to crossfire you you probably want at least 650. I have a corsair 500 watt psu with an overclocked fx 6300 and this card ocd to 1050 core and 1450 memory. Also have 1 tb hdd, blu-ray, card reader, and 8 gb 2133 ram. Everything runs great!

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.

I have my whole system hooked up to a 750 watt PSU except for my second card, which is hooked up to my 500 watt PSU. So if you're putting both cards on the 750 watt PSU then you should be fine.

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.

Dont worry about it, tha card comes with all the adapters you need, i even used this card with a 600W PSU that came with the connectors just as you described

I got retail box and all the connectors are there. But not all the power supplies are ready for this card. I use high-end power supply. Therefore I didn't have a problem Make sure you have a power supply compatible with two six pin PCI power connectors. You should be running 600 Watt power supply at least. With two separate power channels and six pin connectors on them. This is not a power-hungry card but reliable power supply is very important.

You will want a 500 watt power supply min if your running 1 card. I do not have a program to test the power consumption it dose take a single 6 pin.

No, I would recommend at least a high efficiency 450 or 500 Watt, it may power up but you can damage the card with not providing it enough power or damage your mother board. You may find some calculator that says other wise but I wouldn't risk it. (I burned up this same card and ruined my mother board pcie slot, not for running to little power but my power supply shorted giving unstable power, to little power would be unstable.

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...

This card would require a min. of 600 watt power supply to be safe. Keep in mind the power supply also has to power every other item on the motherboard, you do not want to put too much strain on the power supply. I installed a 600W power supply for this exact card and did not put any strain on the PC.

Yes. I am running it just fine off a 650W PS. Make sure its a decent quality Power supply though.

It may run on a 425W PSU but it will run sluggish. Yes the card requires you have two 6-pin connectors hooked to it to run properly. It will run properly if you upgrade the power supply. The card requires a minimum of 500 Watts, but my suggestion would be to go to a 550w at least or a 600w PSU.
