what is the minimum power supply wattage needed for this card?

Don't know exactly. Information should be available from video card maker. I am using with a 380W power supply with no issues, but also no gaming. HTPC application.

Personally, not a clue but these guys know, very handy, just found out about it myself.http://images10.newegg.com/BizIntell/tool/psucalc/index.html

Yeah, what they said. And it only takes up 1 slot in the computer. My TV is hooked up to it also so I can watch streaming internet while having the capability of another monitor.

The power supply must be 350W or greater (with a minimum 12V current rating of 20A). One card which consumes less power is the Evga GeForce GT 430 requiring 300 Watt or greater with a minimum of 22 amps on the +12 volt rail. The lower memory capacity has less heat but less gaming satisfaction, and it's compatible with Windows 7.

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.

You're PSU must have 75 watts free to have this card run. Example, if your computer and its components run at 400 watts and you have a 500 watt PSU you could add this card and have 25 watts left over.

the wattage should be fine but you also need supplemental power plugged directly into this card from the psu.

300 watts is insufficient for this card. I'd recommend a 500w of real power. Don't buy a cheap brand. The longevity and safety of your entire PC rests in the PSUs hand.

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.

I just purchased this card and it requires a minimum 300 Watt PS with a minimum of 20A on the 12 volt rail. This is based on a newer core-i7 processor. I have an older core-i7 and my card seems to be working ok with 18A on my 12 v rail. I am only running One monitor at the moment, but I will have to watch during heavy gaming if my PC crashed or reboots. If It does than I will need to update my Power supply.

Bear in mind, the PSU they "require" isn't about what the card needs; it's an assumption about the overall needs of computers the manufacturer figures might be needed. This card requires no power other than the PCI express lane --- that only supplies 75 watts. So this thing only needs 75 watts or less for itself.

FYI: nVidia is very good at giving minimum power supply requirements:http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-760-oem/specifications

The minimum power supply listed on the box is 350W (350 Watts). There is a side note about having a minimum 12V current rating, as well, which I suspect applies to just about everyone with electricity. I use a 700W supply. As a side note, I do not recommend this video card if you wish to use it for gaming. It seems to work fine for most other things (streaming video, playing dvds, web browsing), but I found most of my games to be quite unresponsive even with severely lowered video and interface options.

the specs on this card's webpage say the minimum wattage power supply required is a 450W, however if your power supply is of low quality (many are) 500W probably wouldn't be enough. personally, i would upgrade to a 600W just in case, and also so that there is more room for power in the future.

That depends on the graphic card you will be using.650 WATT FOR SINGLE CARD. 2 GRAPHIC CARDS 750 WATT. I RUN A 850 WATT FOR MY RIG POWER TO UPGRADE.

I believe the minimum power supply is 500W. I use a 550W and haven't had any problems.

The box of the graphics card recommends at least 450 Watt power supply with 12V@40Amps, which is higher than a lot of cheap 400 or even 500 Watt power supplies have. Specs on a site like newegg will give you the amperage details that Amazon doesn't list.

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.
