Does this card require a power supply connection?

Yes! This PCIe Card requires the desktop computer's power supply plug into it. In order to make the Firewire connections work.

if you're asking about the card itself - no. It gets powered by the PCIe bus. If you're asking about the devices plugged into it - it all depends. If you're trying to run something that requires 1 Amp @ 12 VDC - then you need an external power supply for your device. If you're trying to run a SSD/HDD in an external box - then the card on the bus power should power up your device reasonably well.

No. It's powered by the pcie connection. It has an optional power supply adapter, but its not necessary.

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.

sure you need them both, AMD recommends a 500watts power supply or greater to run this card so if i where you i wont do any risk

There is two pin connector near bottom. But I do not know it is power connector or not. I do not use it. This card does not really use a lot power. Normal PCI slot is enough.

Yes, it uses a PCI-E x16 slot on the motherboard, and doesn't require any extra power supply.

no. It's powered thru the PCIExpress slot on the mother board. Just pop it in and you are good to go.

If your using an external USB device that has its own power supply (i.e. external HD that plugs into the wall) I'm pretty sure you don't need to power this card.

You can do either. But this card requires both available power adapters so take note that power consumption will be high with this card and higher running both

It's a standard PCI-X card which plugs into your motherboard. The power supply required is determined by the chassis you are using and the motherboard's requirements. As long as your computer's power supply provides enough power to supply all the components in your computer it should work fine.

No minimum power supply needed - as long as mb is running the card will also.

no it's not. You need at least 550W to get the full potential of this card.

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

Yes, this card is very slim and occupies only 1 slot. Also, no external power is required.

I believe so... The card doesn't need it's own power supply, so you should be good. It does require the pci-e slot on your board.

Nope. On the box it says a minimum amount of power to operate properly. I think a 350W power supply is not sufficient to run this card. Plus, you will need extra 2 peripheral power connectors if you do not have a 6pin power connector to the PSU

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

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