“Does this card require external power? Or can it run off just the slot?”

• Sorry for the other answer which was unreasonably rude. But yes it does require external power. It will require that your PSU has at least a six pin power supply. It is recommended that it is a 400 watt PSU at as a minimum but I am about to put it in a 350 or 375 system myself. There are some cards that do not require any external power, but they're generally going to be lower performance as well.

• If you look at the pictures you can clearly see a six pin connector. If the connector is there you typically have to use it....and mfg states power consumption is 107W and since PCI can only provide 75W I think it's a no brainer.
