How would Video Card Performance be affected if the computer only meets the minimum power requirements?

If I had a computer with a 350 Watts power supply, but i want to upgrade to a stronger video card, but most newer cards say 350 Watts minimum. What should i do?|||if it meets the minimum it will work the minimum is calculated with just a little room to spare|||Put in a bigger power supply...|||it is better to have more power and not need it than it is to need it and not have it. System stability will be degraded.



Get a bigger power supply.



Also, you need to check out your MOBO. many of the newer cards drag more power than the mainboard can stand, and main boards get blown out.
