A GeForce GTX 275 requires you to have a 550~600 Watt power supply unit at minimum if you use it in a high-end system.

So here's my power supply recommendation:

System with GPU in FULL Stress = 420 Watts.

Our normal system power consumption is higher than the average system. I'd say in total on average we are using roughly 50 to 100 Watts more than a standard PC due to these high-end settings and then add to that the CPU overclock, water-cooling, UV lights, optical drive and HDDs. The ASUS motherboard also allows adding power phases for stability, which we enabled as well. Next to that we have energy saving functions disabled for this motherboard and processor (to ensure consistent benchmark results). The new test PC is based on Core i7 965 / X58 based and overclocked to 3.75 GHz. Sidenote: We recently upgraded our test-platform, which by itself utilizes a lot of energy. Looking at it from a performance versus wattage point of view, the power consumption is really good with the new 55nm products. Looking at it from a performance versus wattage point of view, the power consumption is notВ as bad as I expected it to be. We'll show you some tests we have done on overall power consumption of the PC. So then, first off, he 55nm GeForce GTX 175 (55nm) has a ~219W TDP. The card will work straight out of the box.

We install our driver, reboot and you should be good to go. Once the card is installed we startup Windows. The PSU is an extremely important component in your PC. I do recommend you buy a decent PSU with some reserves, always. Just slide the card into a free PCIe x8/x16 slot, connect the DVI cable to one of the DVI connectors, connect both the 6-pin power connectors to the card.Д®specially with a card like this.

Installing the card into your system will be a fairly easy job. Right, at this stage we are going to insert and connect the graphics card into our test setup.
