Is 700w just a gratuitous number to make the card look beastly or  is a 700w psu a necessity?

A good 550W unit is more than enough. That number is for people trying to run this card on a Diablotek 1000W PSU they bought from wallmart for 9.99$

because AMD's power limit isn't measured from the power connectors, some brand simply rate the card as high as the power connectors can take in spec, hence 700w recommendation. For standard overclocking, expect 250w max power draw from the card itself.

550w is enough as long as it's a good unit, it's that simple.

 

Do you need help picking one?

I've only ever done one build over  10 years ago with a  corsair psu @500w. I was looking into some reasonably priced corsair psu,  something around 600w

Just need to get to grips with the certifications... Gold 80+ etc

I can recommend Corsair and EVGA gold rated PSU's. I have a 550W corsair  in my mediaserver and a 650w G2 EVGA in my current gaming rig... Both modular, so loads of spare cables.

System 1: Gigabyte Aorus B450 Pro, Ryzen 5 2600X, 32GB Corsair Vengeance 3200mhz, Sapphire 5700XT, 250GB NVME WD Black, 2x Crucial MX5001TB, 2x Seagate 3TB, H115i AIO, Sharkoon BW9000 case with corsair ML fans, EVGA G2 Gold 650W Modular PSU, liteon bluray/dvd/rw.. NO RGB aside from MB and AIO pump. Triple 27" Monitor setup (1x 144hz, 2x 75hz, all freesync/freesync 2)

System 2: Asus M5 MB, AMD FX8350, 16GB DDR3, Sapphire RX580, 30TB of storage, 250GB SSD, Silverstone HTPC chassis, Corsair 550W Modular PSU, Noctua cooler, liteon bluray/dvd/rw, 4K HDR display (Samsung TV)

System 3 & 4: nVidia shield TV (2017 & 2019) Pro with extra 128GB samsung flash drives.

You can recommmend all of them ? Just based off 2 units ?

I've used them in the past in other builds... the a non modular 550w Corsair one that I had in my old gaming rig... I used to upgrade my mums PC. That's now 9yrs old and still going strong and has been used pretty much 24/7 for that entire time.

 

So yeah... I can recommend them based on their reliability, and the one in my mediaserver has been going 24/7 for over 5yrs now.

 

Just bear in mind that PSU's degrade over time, that 550w won't be 550w a few yrs down the line... So don't build a system that 'needs' 500w with a 500w PSU...build it with a 600-700w good quality one.

 

The Red Devil XT is rated at what... roughly 280-300w? (I'd have to look up numbers to be certain), we don;t know what CPU is being used or if any overclocking will be done. So let's assume that a decent Ryzen 3xxx series like the 3700 will need up to another 100w (95w part with room of any OC), intel 9900 series is about 95w too but overclocks better so you'll want to allow for more draw.

 

Then you've got case fans, ssd's, maybe a HDD and so forth... 550w is the absolute minimum you need... I'd be recommending 650 at least.

 

Try this PSU calc to give you an idea of what you need.

lesson one: corsair and evga doesn't manifacture psus, they're from companies like cwt and greatwall

 

lesson two: NEVER judge on company, for example evga has some horrible 80+ gold PSUs, and corsair in the past as well

 

lesson 3: outervision is crap, it overestimates way too far

1: You can say that about almost anything... companies source parts from the same suppliers

2: I can't think of any company that hasn't had a bad product at some point.

3: There are loads of those sites out there, I just grabbed the top one in the list from a 2 second search as an example.

 

Anything else you want to be pedantic about? :)

exactly, that's why you should never judge per company, but like... ever seen the g3 in testing? then you'll talk differently

well, you picked the most popular bs that's out there... like... my system would pull around 750w on it, while I'm running it off a 550w psu
