power connection. If your All-in-Wonder® graphics card requires a 
separate connection to the computer’s power supply, follow these 
instructions for PCIe™, as appropriate.

adequate power supply. A PCI Express® compatible system has a 
specialized 12V graphics card power connector. A 450 watt or greater 
power supply is recommended. Consult your computer system manual to 
ensure the power supply is designed to accommodate a high-end 
graphics card with a peak dissipation above 75 watts.
