450w With 980?

[RhymeGG]

Hey, I'm buying a PC with a 980, and a 4770k today as a project/resell build. It's got a 980 windforce, 4770k, 16gb ram, with a 450w 80+ gold seasonic FM series PSU, wondering if this will perform under heavy gaming. Currently i have a 2060, ryzen 5 3600 and 16gb of ram running on the same PSU, and it works fine no matter what. Curious if the older tech will still be fine on a lower wattage PSU.Thanks!

Probably ok. Wouldn't try heavy OC'ing on it

the card is about 230 watts on the high end, with the 4770k consuming about 150 with a hefty overclock, closer to 100 without. worst case scenario, that's a little under a 400 watt load, so that's cutting it pretty close when you factor in motherboard and other devices, but for normal usage, especially gaming, doubt it would ever run into problems.

Not planning on doing any overclocking, But if i do it would be minor adjustments on the GPU clocks

Cool, Thanks! Just wanted some more opinions because my 2060, ryzen 5 3600 run just fine off 450w.

Also, I went to Seasonic's wattage calculator to put in the exact specs, and it says itll draw around 436 under load. Is that still fine?

yeah, those calculators always err a bit high. I just checked the psu page, it's rated for 450w continuous output (meaning you could safely put a constant 450w load on it 24/7). So even if you have peak power draws of 436w you'd be fine.

Awesome. Thank you!!
