I see there are 4 GPU connectors on this unit, what is the max wattage per GPU socket? 30 amp per rail so this could do 360W max per rail/GPU socket?

I did not see where it stated there were 30amps per 12v+ rail. If your intent is to SLI or Cross Fire, you should look for a single 12V+ rail PSU. EVGA makes a 1300 and 1600 that both have single rails. Total the amp draw of each VGA card you are using. Then subtract that total from the available amps of the single 12V+ rail. If there are enough amps left to power the rest of your computer, then you will be fine. The 1300 watt EVGA may be enough at around 100 amps, and is less than the cost of this one. The quality is 100% better as well. I had poor luck with this thing. Hope this helps.

It's around 350w. I had to replace mine with a 750 before I was able to use my GPU. This is a great computer, but it's obvious they got cheap with the PSU.

nVidia recommends a minimum of 450 watt supply with a minimum of 24 amps on the 12+ rail.

If you want to crossfire the gpu's then I would not recommend this power supply. If you are only running one gpu then this power supply would definitely suit your needs.

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-us This 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.

it depends on your motherboard the total power needed but each GPU requires 300watts

250 watts will not cut it unless you are only trying to run the GPU (and you won't be). You need headroom. For this card, you would need at least 450 watts, but I would suggest at least 700 so as not to overtax your power supply. An overtaxed PSU will give you nothing but headaches (such as fried cpus or motherboards).

You need a PSU with 2-8 pin and 2-6 pin connectors for Crossfire, One 8 pin and One 6 pin for a single GPU.Yon should use a 850Watt PSU for a Single GPU, and a 1000Watt PSU for 2 GPU's. I have Corsair RM 1000Watt for my 2 GPU's.

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

It's a 55W TDP card. That means it'll consume up to 55W when under full load. I've seen many guys reporting being able to run this card with their stock 280-300W PSUs.

You do NOT need anything over a 300 watt to run this card. I've seen people running a GTX 670 on a 330 watt.

I believe so, my setup has one single cable that has a seperate 6 pin and a 2 pin connector. You connect them together to make (one) 8 pin connector. Also the adapters are included to power your gpu with a standard molex adapter. So you should be good to go

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.

No. It requires a 450w minimum, and installing it with lower could destroy the gpu

Sure, I run it on a 600watt no problem, it doen't support pci power, just the pci express conection. Not the best for gaming, decent for designing

Of course. It's a standard power supply, and it's only a few MM bigger then an 850 watt unit. It has 4 native gpu hook ups.
