Will this card work on a 225w power supply?

I wouldn't try it. I have used it on both a 500 watt and a 550 watt PSU with no issues. If 225 w is enough for the other components your machine, you probably don't need this GPU's capacity (not that it is extreme, but it is decent). If you want to stay with 225w PSU (and there may be nothing wrong with that if it meets your needs) , look for a cheaper GPU.

No, I wouldn't recommend you use this card with such low PSU. If you can't upgrade your power supply I would go with a 7750 instead. It would be better if you upgraded the power supply and buy a better card than either though.

It will absolutely not. You will need a new power supply unit of at least 800w to prevent any overloads that could fry your computer.

This card will work... Barely. It's a passive heatsink card, so no fan to draw extra power. As long as your system is otherwise stock, and there aren't any other power draining components, it will work.

It only has 300w P/S. I believe the card you want requires a minimum 500w, 600w is recommended.

It should work fine on any 300 watt or more power supply. It's total draw is only going to be 75 watts as that is all the power that can go through a PCI-E slot and this card does not have an extra power connection.

I have this card and use it with a 850w XFX pro 80plus gold PSU and never ran into any issues, card uses up to 500w, and if you are using an intel CPU you should run beyond 750w of pek power, I run a 4790k with a seidon 240m water cooled slightly overclocked to 4.5ghz, and on max usage got 789w, so you will be fine

NVidia's online calculator says the stock (non-overclocked card) will work with a 300W power supply. This one should as well. It has an on-board power regulator that prevents it from drawing more than 75W. See NVidia dot com/content/HelpMeChoose/fx2/HelpMeChoose.asp?lang=en-usThis does have the 6 pin power supply connector for a cable from the power supply to the card, on the top edge near the mounting bracket.

That's more than enough watts. It should work with your power supply too. However, I would check any specifics on both manufacturers websites.

I have no idea! Sorry. Mine is a 255W and it works for that one. Not sure about compatibility with anything else.

The required power supply for this type of card is minimum 800w (espesially if you plan to overclock) with 2power cables dedicated for this video card, so make sure the number of power outlets from the supply is enough for all you other components (ie DVD drive, hard drive, ect) good luck

You will need to upgrade your power supply to have stable performance with this card. I recommend at least a 500 watt.

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.

Your power supply is more than enough for this card. 300 watts is the minimum requirement, you have 350 watts so you are good to go, my friend.

Check the clearance for the card and the amps and wattage on your power supply. If all is right then yeah it will work.

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.

Yes, it would work perfectly. Just need to plug it into the PCI x16 slot and you would be good to go. Of course, you would a good enough power supply for the card too. 500 watt or higher PSU should do the trick.

as long as you have a PSU with at least 300 watts you should be fine-- if the card needs a pci express cable, you may have to use a molex or sata to pci express adapter- just fyi

According to the manufacturer this card needs 550W:http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4102#sp , Power requirement = 550 W
