Is 450 w psu enough for gtx 1070 or rtx 2060

[Jwbsa]

Hey guys, my computer has the following specs; (It is a Lenovo Legion Y520T-25ICZ) 

Intel I5 8400 

gtx 1060 3gb

8gb 2666 so-dimm ram

Ac Bel 450 watt PSU 80+ bronze

256 GB SSD

2 TB HDD  

Logitech mouse and keyboard 

 

I'm thinking of upgrading the gtx 1060 3gb to a rtx 2060 or gtx 1070, so will my 450W psu work fine or should i upgrade psu as well?

 

Thanks.

Technically yes but yours is utterly poor quality and is likely not capable of outputting more than 250-300W. Replace with a CX550 or Be Quiet System Power 0 500W

500W PSU is the minimum recommendation for both.

 

2060 has a rating of 160W

1070 has a rating of 150W

My friend is running his GTX 1080 and Ryzen 5 3600 on his CX450, but that's a good 450 watt PSU. Can't do it on a cheapo PSU.

I agree with everyone else, upgrade the PSU, if it only came with 1 stick of RAM i'd recommend upgrading that also.

Take a picture of the label on the side of the PSU.

300W split across two very iffy rails

Oof, 16 amps on the 12v rail, pretty sure the 1070 needs more like 18. No dice on this one I'm afraid
