Is 550w psu enough for r9 380 for gaming...

somebody said it is somebody it isnt i dont know help hah

A good 550W PSU is plenty for an R9 380 + normal CPU.

But to fully answer your question, we would need to know:

- What is the rest of your system (mostly CPU)?

- What specific PSU is this? Brand and model number.

I wouldn't trust that to be perfectly honest.

This PSU only has 300W on the +12V rail, which is where your CPU and GPU take power from. The CPU and GPU would use about 100W and 200W respectively.

 

Getting something better like Corsair CX550 seems like a better idea.

voltage*amperage = watts

Most PC parts are +12v at this point, which is why I brought it up.

The wattage of the CPU and GPU are measurements which can be found in reviews.

Running a 200W GPU is just not something I could comfortably recommend on this PSU

I know for the watts😂 and you got a point its a little weak psu i would buy 1050 bc it doesnt consume as much but its more expensive i dont know
