Sometimes...it's hard for people to understand where they can find that. 

There is google for that or just ask a question on where to find that. We are here to help and all op has to do is ask.

 

If they cant find it its on the side of the psu on the sticker.

i heard the gtx 1080 ti can play 4k games when games around its time was released like 4k fallout 4

Yes at medium settings. Sometimes high. That was almost 6 years ago by now games got a lot more intensive and a 3060 being arpund 1080ti levels of performance will simply do worse.

This is just the usual nonsense that gets perpetuated around PSUs. A 1660TI draws around 120w. The 3060 draws around 170.

 

So if a 1660ti is happy on a 350w PSU, why would a card that draws 50w more suddenly require a 700w unit?

 

A 3060 is not a power hungry card and 500w is plenty, so long as its a quality 500w unit and not trash tier.

This.

 

Thats why im trying to figure out what psu op has too. Because evga has bad, good and ok psu's. 500w is plenty fine in this case if the psu is good.

You can get them even smaller., but 460 is definitely a wattage you can get. Some reviewers describe it as a soft lower limit as your get into an area where the manufacturers usually don't wanna overspend on good parts as people won't pay for it
