Min PSU Recommended

[Tikimeister]

So this is probably a dumb question but, on the new RX6800 XT it says that its minimum PSU is 750. And the PSU I have is a 700 80+ bronze. Would that -50 watts really cause me any problems?

no, but i don't know many 700w bronze rated psus that are good enough quality to be able to handle a rx6800xt. wattage isn't everything. what model is your psu?

I wouldn't use a shiny new expensive gpu with that PSU, especially if it's already a few years old and put of warranty.

i would get a new 750W psu from Tier A in the    PSU tier list

I would upgrade. Get a Gold 750W and you're good.
