I want to get my friend a GTX 750, but will it run on 300w?

Hey guys. I'm taking a friend of mines shopping for a GPU. At a performance standpoint; the GTX 750 seems like it would be the best for him. However; I see that a lot GTX 750's have a power connector slot.

Since the GTX 750's have a power connector; does that mean they won't run on a stock 300w psu?

This is the card I'm looking at:

Will he be able to run it without a 6-pin connector?

It states on the site that a 200w power supply is the minimum to run the card, but I would also like to know what the rest of your system is like, before i can give you an informed answer.

Yes. See http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-750/specifications "Minimum System Power Requirement (W) 300W"

Per http://www.asus.com/au/Graphics_Cards/GTX750PHOC1GD5/specifications/ "Power Consumption up to 75W no additional PCIe power required"

It's single Fan GPU model so it will run without the 6 pin connecter and as the 750's are most energy effecient they will easily run on 300W PSU without any problems
Off topic: If i were you i would've saved 10$ and bought a 750Ti which is actually much better than 750

Yes. See http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-750/specifications "Minimum System Power Requirement (W) 300W"

Per http://www.asus.com/au/Graphics_Cards/GTX750PHOC1GD5/specifications/ "Power Consumption up to 75W no additional PCIe power required"

Thanks. So I assume that as long as it doesn't have a power connector slot it will work?

Yes.

Yes.

Thanks then we'll get a 750 without a power connector.
