Hello I was wondering if I can get away with using this video card with a 305 watt power supply. It calls for a 350 watt.

If someone could run a high end X1900XT on a 350Watt PSU that was OCed along with a CPU it should take it. All depends on the PSU though.

X800GTO at stock clocks pipes takes ~50W in 3d load. Unlocking to 16P would raise it by ~1/4.
