I just want to know how much power this card needs, it says there is a recommended wattage of 350w, does it really need that much? I know some companies bump that number up just to be safe so how much by itself does it draw?
 
Solution
the gpu draws 49w on full load.. but since you have a mobo,cpu,ram and what not.. manufacturers bump the recomendation up to 250-350w more just to be safe
A pcie slot can deliver up to 75W to power a graphics card. Since a GT620 does not need a 6 pin aux power lead, you can presume that 75w is the max.
The recommendations will include a normal amount for the cpu and some peripherals.
They also allow for cheap psu's that overstate their capabilities.
