The most powerful cards top out at around 100-110 watts.

Now remember, that 110 watts is for the card itself. See the sticky at the top of the forum for a calculator that will help you find out what your power requirements are for the whole computer and not just the card.

If memory serves me right, and sometimes it doesn't, so do some research; I think some of the X700 series of ATI cards are pretty good about not eating power!
