Better to connected an unused power connecter if available ... most high-end cards use a power feed now, as they are goung beyond the AGP slot power limits - they can also tip a system that's marginal for power supply capacity over the edge.

If you have any less than a standard 300w PSU, or a very low quality 300w PSU, then it could be borderline.

Some 300w case PSU's are quite decent (mine survived a bake when the fan failed, and has since been put back in when a supposed 400w dual fan unit started to die on me).

Some unknown name / cheap name PSU's are total junk, incapable of delivering full rating with acceptable power quality.
