It depends on the load.

 

Why, though?

wondering if my psu can handle it

Which model is it?

The power draw of an entire system WILL vary depending on the components you use (i.e. CPU, GPU, RAM, motherboard, etc).

As a general "rule of thumb," a quality built 500W / 520W / 550W will be sufficient for a whole system with a single graphics card -- lean towards the 520W and 550W if overclocking is considered.

250-300w

Around 190w in graphic intensive games. 

Around 230w in power virus Furmark.

According to TinyTomLogan, it's about 150W at stock and 190W when OCed

Should start off at 190w in which it could increase to 250w after overclocking.

190W is the peak possible. AMD rates TDP based on maximum possible with the +20% power target.

The boards' overall power consumption from idle to load is excellent really. Expect an idle wattage of roughly 10 Watts and, when the monitor goes into power save mode, the card throttles down even lower towards 3 Watts. The TDP for the 7850 we measured at roughly 110W and the 7870 at 130 Watt.

AMD advertises the board power at 130W (7850) and 175W (7870), board power is different then the TDP. If you try and visualize the power control settings slider in the Catalyst center, then you'll realize that you can increase it 20% meaning at default the TDP is roughly 20% lower then AMD's 130W for the 7850 and 175W for the 7870.

• Reverse calculate that and at default the TDP for 7850 would be 130Wx0.80=104W
• Reverse calculate that and at default the TDP for 7850 would be 175Wx0.80=140W

According to that a 380 is around 150W at stock and 190W when OCed to the max

Whoa. Totally didn't know that. Cheers for that then.
