Hello, to elaborate onto the title, I am referring to this particular card (https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA7HN5J47815). This particular GPU has the dual fan setup, so I was afraid that I'd have to get a better PSU than I already have to run this, however, if this doesn't require external power just as models like the EVGA model, with just one fan, that would be great. Thanks for reading guys.

Generally, if a card comes WITH a PEG connector, it requires external power. Some companies made 750ti's which did require an external connector. Most did not and kept it in the 60w envelope. For example, the Asus GTX 750ti OC requires a 6 pin because it might be very close or over the 75w target, while the Asus STRIX GTX 750ti OC does not have that connector.

So - look at the pics and specs. If you see a 6 pin connector, you need one. If you don't have a 6 pin, you don't.
