What is the power requirement I have a 280 watt psu?

sorry, won't go... changing the power supply is gonna be a must. That small amount of power would be hard pressed to even run expanded memory options well.

According to Newegg customer responses this card will work with as low as a 250 watt psu. However, a 400 watt PSU is recommended.

It may be possible to operate this video card on your power supply, I would not recommend it, the card recommends a minimum of 400 watts power supply. What is the feasibility of upgrading your power supply, if you are using a standard case, upgrading the power supply with a compatible one such as the Diablotek DA Series 400-Watt ATX Power Supply PSDA400, it's only about $20.00, then this Video card would be suitable. It is a very good, quiet, stable video card, I use one to drive a pair of 20" Viewsonic displays, one digital one analog, for a 40" wide desktop. Works great . . .

No, your wattage for your power supply should exceed your maximum draw (I'd recommend by 5-10%). My computer only draws 50W max but I got this PSU for other reasons. For me the 72W would work

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.

It specks on the nvidia sight are at 250 watts. They recommend that your system PSU be at least 600 watts or greater.

400 watt or greater is the recommendation for this model. You should calculate how your psu is destrobuting it's power to make sure you can delegate enough to the card

From the AMD web site:ATI Radeon™ HD 5770 System Requirements 450 Watt or greater power supply with one 75W 6-pin PCI Express® power connectors recommended

If it helps you at all, this 280x runs at about 300 watts under a full load, figure out your power consumption from your other components and always leave alittle extra. I always get a power supply to big because then in the future ive got enought for another card or something

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.

400W is the min required for the card as long as you are only going to run 1 and you have at least 1 6 pin pci supplementary power connector coming off the power supply. if there is no 6 pin pci supplementary power connector then the PSU is not compatible.

You better upgrade your power supply at least to 400 watt. Check the power requirements of this card.

Depends upon what is installed in your computer. CPU, hard drive, video card,RAM, motherboard including optical drive all need power. I would say 350 watts and above would be a safe bet.

I don't know the exact wattage requirements for your setup (you have to take into account the number of fans. CPU cooling, number of hard drives and optical drives, etc). But an 850W PSU is almost certainly enough for your rig. You can check out some websites like: powersupplycalculator.net to double check. But I'm 99.99% sure you will have PLENTY left over with an 850W PSU.

Minimum System Power Requirement = 650 W. http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-690/specifications

I have a 700 W in my machine, so I couldn't say from experience.http://www.realhardtechx.com/index_archivos/Page362.htm recommends a 450 W PSU. So 500 W should be enough. :)

As far as the overall watts are concerned, this is enough. There's also enough plugs for all of that (with room for another graphics card or two if you wanted more later). You should be just fine! I love this PSU. Highly recommended.

I have a 430 watt PSU, and it runs perfectly. Those recommended wattages are usually overstated.
