Nvidia recommends a 600W PSU for a 3060ti. Although it probably wouldn't be a problem with a 550, ampere cards have a tendency to spike up in power draw, so I'd stick to the recommendation. CX600 should be good enough.

a good quality 550W PSU should run it fine

The 3080 and 3090 had the worst current spikes and the majority of the current spikes were patched out with drivers in December.

No, a 10 year old groupregulated unit is not good enough for Ampere.

based on the list, it's a tier D unit, so it's not particularly good

 

but you can try to use it anyways since you already own it

im saying you should try it, i can see it working, but no guarantees

Double forward with groupregulation. Transient reponse is to slow, has bad voltage regulation and it will be loud. No, it's a bad psu paired with 3060 Ti.

[PAVAN KUMAR D]

damn bought a bad one ill sell it on ebay or other sites

how about for an rtx 3060 12gb is it good for it ?

[--SID--]

No, it's bad for any recent piece of hardware.

[PAVAN KUMAR D]

how about this one is it food enough for 3060ti without facing any problems 

[--SID--]

No, it's still double forward and a low quality platform.

You spend a lot of money. Here in NL I have to spend €1000 if I want to buy a RTX 3060 and Ryzen 5600X. With such expensive components I don't want to cheap out on the PSU. Look for something from Tier A or B from the Tierlist

how about this one ? its on tier b 

[--SID--]

That's the minimum quality I recommand.

[Ezel]

Definitely agree with SID here, you don't want to cheap out on a PSU and fry your expensive components down the line.
