How many watts is your power supply?

If you don't know, when you take the case off, it is on the side of the big box that the power cord plugs in to.

Wouldn't it have to be to get any sort of display from the card?

I'm pretty sure that some power would be taken from the bus like older cards...

and I'm just wondering here, what company made the card? and I don't mean nvidia.
