Worried about PSU upgrading from radeon rx 580 to rtx 2060..
2 minutes ago, ZeroTwo02 said:So I have a cyber power prebuilt that is a couple years old now.
Specs:
Ryzen 7 1700x
Radeon rx 580 4gb
Corsair 2x 8gb ddr4
Total of 3 terabytes of storage
The red flag came after I ordered the new Rtx 2060 online. I found out that I only have a 430 watt PSU in the prebuilt. Some say the power draw of the rtx 2060 is not that much more than the 580 but I just don't want to fry the card with an inadequate psu. I also would rather not drop extra money on a new PSU and have to rewire the whole system if I really don't have to. Please help! If so any recommendation on a specific psu?
430 watts should be enough, you wont really have much headroom though. If you want to buy a new PSU, I would reccomend the Cooler Master MWE Gold 650w, that is a nice power supply that will last future upgrades.
