220w psu graphics card

[GBH14]

Can someone recomend a decent graphics card to run off a 220w PSU. It will need to have a low profile bracket too.

I dont want to upgrade my PSU as i have a small form case and so I will need to get a new case as well to do that. any suggestions?

something like this

comes with the low profile adapter

and that will be fine running off my PSU?

it looks like it only pulls 49w max so i'd say yes, as it doesn't even have an extra power connector

ive just found - Minimum 300W or greater system power supply (with a minimum 12V current rating of 38A)*, so does that mean it would be no good for me?

was that for that graphics card? also that doesn't add up as 38A @ 12v = 456watts

I found that here - http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=vga-430-c1-1024&source=web&cd=4&ved=0CDIQFjAD&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kauppasatama.fi%2Ftuotekuvat%2FGFX-195%2FGFX-195.pdf&ei=x_b6Tr-3Hcns-gbVmNnCDQ&usg=AFQjCNFcS6PfK2Mx3Kk1U_tRXgqb_4k-4A

that's with an i7 cpu and also a GTS which would probably make a difference

i would say it's fine to run off a 220w PSU

i'm guessing that being as he needs a low profile gpu he hasn't got a standard ATX psu.

I agreee with Damo's point - assuming that the OP has a micro-ATX power supply?
