This card is amazing for its price, I am running a 430watt thermaletake psu, it says that card requires a 26amp 12v rail but I have an 18 amp and its been running strong for a while now, only bad thing is that the card can run hottt but not too hot
I am using a Emachine Single core 2.4ghz processor LE-1620 and i have only 250 PSU and it works perfectly. Just make sure you don't have alot of junk in your rig. I only have one Hard drive, one external hd, and one sound card , thats it.
The Temps at idle are 60c, when gaming depending on the game stays at 63c.
@somervillearron those things are for stock components and barely meet minimum requirements for them so I'd advise you to buy a decent PSU from corsair or OCZ at newegg.com.
Corsair psus are reliable but more expensive. Coolmaster and ocz are very cheap and just as reliable.
The question is what exactly has changed to get this rather dramatic improvement in efficiency? Are there fewer VRMs on the unit? I doubt the latest 40 nm technology is being used, NVidia hasn't released a 40 nm GPU with this many shaders yet.
I have this card.

wait, do you need a 6 pin power connector for this card cause i've looked at the model and i can't find it.

No i just bought the card from best buy sale for only 70 bucks, the card is long, and i hope it fits in my rig, but you don't need a power connector.
enjoy!

Nope, and you don't need a high end PSU either. You can run this card on a 250w psu.
