Power supply for 6800XT

Triboal

Hello guys!

 

I just bought an Asus TUF RX 6800XT OC card and looking to implement it in my system in the next week or so. I am currently running a Ryzen 5 5600X and not looking to overclock and the PSU I currently have in my system is a 750W EVGA P2 - I was wondering if this is enough or if I should consider moving to a 850W PSU like an RM850x? I'm looking to potentially overclock the GPU but won't be doing it off the mark. 

 

What do you guys think? I just wanted to check and I'm sorry if this is a stupid question. Would rather be safe than sorry.

 

Thank you.

 

P.s. my current build

The EVGA 750W P2 should be fine for that build. You already have it so give it a go.

are there any risks to running this PSU if it's not enough? I only started wondering because the *minimum* PSU requirement is 750W so

If it's not enough the PC will just switch off while you're playing a game.
