In fact all new cards out today seem to require at least that much if not more. I&#8217;m fine with this one, but I still have the issue of finding a 300w low profile box.<\/p>\n<p>now in another thread someone mentioned that the cards dont really draw this much power, yet I&#8217;ve read in other sites that the card will fail if it is under powered, which could lead to both the card and the power supply crashing. I&#8217;m guessing this happens under the circumstances of someone pushing the threshold of the card&#8217;s capabilities right? And if so, where does that put me with running two monitors on it.<\/p>\n<p>Just to throw in a wrench, there will be a third monitors as well thru a primary USB port.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks in advance<\/p>\n<p align=\"right\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\"><i>message edited by pso777<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"iawp_total_views":90},"question-category":[47],"question_tags":[],"class_list":["post-15274","question","type-question","status-publish","hentry","question-category-hardware"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question\/15274","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/question"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15274"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15274"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"question-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question-category?post=15274"},{"taxonomy":"question_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question_tags?post=15274"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
