No the Geforce 750 requires at least a 400W power supply.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You'll need to upgrade the power supply, I recommend to 700w but I hear 500w is minimum
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Without having eyes on your rig, I do know that you probably have the proprietary PSU that came with the XPS. I'd be willing to bet last week's paycheck that it does not have the 6 or 8 pin PCIe plug necessary to provide the extra power to run this card. And at 375W, you wouldn't have enough power to spare for it anyways. Personally, I wouldn't put this card in anything that offered less than 650W but the manufacturer might be a little more lenient so, I would start there to see what they say. I can't tell what type of processor you have and if your current graphics are integrated with it because a processor upgrade could possibly be the most prudent solution for your situation. Its a very simple swap, once you do the homework as far as compatibility, performance, features, etc., and I've seen LGA 775 processors going at very modest prices lately. Especially since Intel released the 6th Gen CPU's a couple months back. Good luck and don't be intimidated by doing it yourself. The web hosts myriad videos, articles, and tutorials on this subject if you're willing to do the legwork.

Then look at what you want to install and if your new card is equal to or uses less power you won't need to upgrade you power supply. A word of caution though, any swap in original parts, you need to look at the power requirements first.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It should work. I installed one of these in a Dell Studio XPS 8100 that has a pretty weedy power supply too and it worked fine, and also took up a ton less space in the case than the OEM Radeon 5770 card. Runs quieter too, which is nice!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Should work fine. I've just finished a build with this card that's pulling under 300w. I'd seriously consider getting a new power supply just for the peace of mind. The ones that come with prebuilt systems are unrated and notoriously unreliable and good power supplies are not very expensive either. Good luck!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.im using a 300w max power supply u shouold be fine
