[HELP]May gforce 6600gt works on 300W power supply?

[numan]

Plz tell me I have 300Watt power supply.I decided to buy gforce 6600gt. But every gforce 6600gt recommends that there should be 350Watt power supply. Then what should i do, upgrade my power supply to 350Watt or gforce works on 300Watt power supply. If i run it on 300W then what is the difference?

Hello

upgrade my power supply to 350Watt

Minimuim means just enuff to make it work.
Recomended means, min that'll work stable.

If you already have a 300w psu, then I'd recomend a 400w or 450w
but be sure you buy a good quality one such as.
ennermax
antec etc.

a good calculator that'll let you know the right wattage.

it may work but when you play a game that needs that extra bit of power your computer will not be able to do it, and most likely will freeze.

If the psu is a good brand it may work with 300w. I ran my 6600gt on a 350w and had no problem. If you have a basic system(1hd, 1 optical, 2 or less memory dimms, cpu not oc'ed, etc), it may be enough. I doubt it'd hurt to try.

What About MSI Radeon 9800pro. Will it work nicely on 300W. Does the slowness of game is due to power supply?
