Hi

Ive read some conflicting reports on how much wattage you need for this card. Could anyone shed some light on if 550w is enough, or if 550w is cutting it close.

Cheers

What's the rest of your system?

Single card? If so easily enough. I have yet to see my pc hit 300w at the wall even with the gpu heavily overclocked while benching. Noraml gaming use is in the 220-250w range at the wall depending on the game.

taken from the palit website for this card

"Graphics Card Power 170 W
Minimum Recommended System Power 500 W"

so should be plenty
