ASUS today announced global availability of the GeForce GTX 650-E, a motherboard bus-powered DirectX 11.1 graphics card that's ideal for desktop PCs with low-wattage power supplies The GeForce GTX 650-E combines DirectX 11.1 compatibility and 28nm NVIDIA GPU technology with a mere 60W power consumption, making it a very appealing upgrade option for users looking for a high-performance graphics card at an affordable price.

this is what the tech guy said at CCL online about the 6670 i was going to buy,,
This graphics card uses GDDR3, which is not the same as DDR3 memory in the desktop system. AMD do list this graphics card as wanting a minimum 400W power supply, and there should be a sticker on the power supply of your computer stating its output wattage. -Danlevan... i dont want to buy one that wont work i also looked at the 7000 series too

i was looking on AMD site an they say in spch 400 min,, but reading yr comments if yr right i was thinking of the 7750 looking at the VTX and ASUS 750 with lots of other jargon after that, 1 2 gig ect which 7500 do you think would be best low power and profile

Sapphire Squeezes Radeon HD 7750 Down to Single-Slot Low-Profile
What you might pass away for a bare entry-level graphics card at first glance, could end up being Sapphire's new Radeon HD 7750 single-slot low-profile graphics card. The design is a beneficiary of 28 nm "Cape Verde" silicon, which is found to have good-enough temperatures on its reference-design board. The card is ideal for mini-ITX systems. It relies entirely on the PCI-Express slot for power, and uses a 2+1+1 phase VRM, which utilizes high-grade driver-MOSFETs on its GPU phases.

The card sticks to AMD reference clock speeds of 800 MHz core, with 1125 MHz (4.50 GHz effective) memory. It packs 1 GB of GDDR5 memory over a 128-bit wide memory interface. The GPU packs 512 Graphics CoreNext stream processors. Display outputs include one each of dual-link DVI, mini-DisplayPort, and mini-HDMI. Ad
