R9 390 power consumption

Hemanse

So im picking up my MSI R9 390 tomorrow, pretty much just wanna be 100% sure my PSU is up to the task, i know that AMD draws quite a bit more power and my last card were a MSI 770 Lightning.

Ryzen 7 3700x, MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX, 16GB Ballistix Elite 3600MHz, MSI RTX 2070 Super Gaming X Trio, Corsair RM750x V2

Yes it you can could comfortably do it on a 550W heck there's someone on the forum who runs a 290 on a 400W

It's more than fine - a good quality 500W PSU is enough to OC a 390 on :)
850W is enough for a R9 295X2 OCed to the limits ^_^

Hell, it's even enough for a GTX 580 MARS 2
