I have a radeon 6990 hd from ATI and I was wondering will my 500w power supply work with this card without causing any problems

Add average IDLE wattage ~ 37W
Subjective obtained GPU power consumption = ~ 370 Watts
Radeon HD 6990 - On your average system the card requires you to have a 750 Watt power supply unit.
