Does anyone have a 5700 and willing to give me information? I currently have a 450w PSU from Corsair and I was wondering if I can run a AMD 5700 GPU w/o problems? The website says a 600 watt minimum but I feel like the req's are always exaggerated... 

 

Same thing for rtx 2060/2060 super, will a 450w be fine for it?

 

Current specs

2400g APU

16gb ram

b450m ds3h gigabyte mobo

450 watt psu corsair

HOLY SHIT WHAT?!?!?!!!?

Tell me you'e trolling me.

 

The CX is the better of the three and is a topology that works well with any graphics card.

450W is enough. I've thrown a i7 8700K/Vega 64 at one before.

 

But no, the watts aren't all that matters. The inside quality matters too, but the CX will be fine.

Naw man, if you think all PSU's operate the same and they're all fancy boxes with a wattage label on them then you don't understand the question you asked does require knowing more than just who made your PSU and what the wattage is. 

 

It's far more complicated than you give it any credit for.
