You should get 500 watts and that's way more than enough for that RTX 2060.

 

I've seen people using RTX 2080s inside of a PC using a 330 watt psu.

why would you recommend a PSU that's way more than enough? If the 450 watt PSU doesn't cut it, why would a 500 watt PSU do it?

what specific model PSU?

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

I would get at least a 650w, no matter what other people are saying that 550w is enough

That's my Estimate and reason why 450 watts IS enough but having the extra 50 watts is Great for Overclocking.

I think a 500 watt psu Because the CPU takes about 97 Watts and the GPU takes up 240 watts.

The RTX 2060 operates sub 200 watts. This PC shouldn't draw over 400 watts under max load.

that makes no sense. How is this setup going to draw anywhere near 650 watts?

Of course you are right, but he constantly keeps recommending way oversized PSU-s, and convinced, that SS is the best, the rest are lightyears behind. Kind of a delusion.

 

For the OP @supercater500450w is enough, 550w is plenty. A 2060super RIG will draw ~ 300watts under load. Less, if you undervolt (which is recommended anyways)

Life is really challenging. I don't always suceed: )

What PSU? One that can actually output 450W or one that is garbage?

yes, you did. Why? 

 Just a result of undervolting. MSI GTX1080 GamingX at stock ~ 258 watts. UV-d: 180watts.

Before:

749815_297300_gpu-z_1080.jpg

After:

749815_297300_gpu-z_1080_2_2.jpg

 

The stock BIOS settings for this card is way too generous. I highly recommend undervolting them. Note also the 11 degree of Celsius difference in temperatures under load. Definitely recommended. The temperatures alone worth it imho.

mention a downside to undervolting.

 

i know one, but its more of a thing you test for when you do undervolt.

I personally would not go below 650, plus it adds some headroom for any future upgrades you might want.

No, it's not, there are strong trend in power consumption decrease in fact, unless you stick to Intel 14+++++++++nm CPUs which increase ST performance by 2 percent, increasing power draw by 20 percent with each generation. Unless you plan to make multi-GPU build or get Threadripper, good 750W PSU would be more than enough, or even 550W if it's for gaming.

Edit: what PSU it is anyway ?

Eh, it's meh PSU, and 1000W may not be enough for 2xRTX2080Ti's in fact depending on usecase and CPU.

depends on it's efficency and if you want to overclock

What PSU efficiency has to do with that ? And OC'd i7 9700k + RTX2060 would draw just about 420W in stress tests. It's much lower in games.
