Minimum power requirement is 450 Watts.
Now bear in mind that this is for a complete computer system.
NOT, what just the graphics card requires for power.
Since there is no additional power cable to be connected, to the graphics card, the graphics card ONLY uses UP TO 75 Watts.
This is known because a PCI-Express x16 slot, will deliver UP TO 75 Watts.
If a graphics card requires more power, then a 6-pin PCI Express power cable is used. It will deliver an additional 75 Watts, bring the available power for the graphics card UP TO 150 Watts.

Then an 8-pin PCI Express power cable is used. This power cable can deliver UP TO 150 Watts.
With PCI Express x16 slot, you are now looking at 225 available Watts,
