CrossFire Ready: Yes
nVidia SLI Ready: Yes

Voltage\Amperage
Number Rail +12V: 2
+3.3V: 30 A
+5V: 32 A
+12V 1: 22 A
+12V 2: 22 A
-12V : 0.8 A

The Geforce website recommends a 550W PSU: http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-480/specifications.
The card itself can draw up to 250-300W of power under stock loads.

But my i ask why would you buy this card? it is considered very dated to be honest. It is listed on amazon for around 140$ (USD).
At this price i would recommend a 750ti. here is a link to a comparison between them: http://gpuboss.com/gpus/ASUS-GeForce-GTX-750-Ti-vs-ASUS-GeForce-GTX-480

It has 4 times less power consumption under load at around the same price. I own a 750 ti myself and it holds quite well in gaming, the new architecture also means that its an overclocking machine - it never really gets as hot as the older Nvidia cards do under...

Hope this helps!
