I'm upgrading a computer with a power supply that's rated for ~130W to the GPU, so I was considering the 4060 for its low power consumption (115W). However, after watching Linus's 4060 review, I'm thinking about going for the 6700xt and buying a new power supply (it's rated for 220W), but I'm not sure if the extra performance is worth the hassle and cost of upgrading the PSU. Does anyone have any thoughts?

In most cases, you probably won't need to upgrade your PSU, since even RX 6700 XT can work at 500W PSU

But just to make sure, could you share PSU on your system as well?
 

My System: Ryzen 7800X3D // Gigabyte B650 AORUS ELITE AX // 32GB DDR5 Silicon Power Zenith CL30 // Sapphire Pulse AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT OC with mod heatsink on the metal plate  // Phanteks P300A  // Gigabyte Aorus GEN4 7300 PCIE 4.0 NVME // Kingston NV2 Gen4 PCIE 4.0 NVME // 

Seasonic Focus GX-850 Fully Modular // Thermalright Frost Spirit 140 Black V3 // Phanteks M25 140mm // Display: Bezel 32MD845 V2 QHD // Keychron K8 Pro (Mod: Gateron black box ink; Tape mode on PCB and Keycaps) // Razer Cobra Wired Mouse // Audio Technica M50X Headphone // Sennheiser HD 650 // Genius SP-HF180 USB Speaker //

 

And Laptop Acer Nitro 5 AN515-45 for mobility

Country?

Total Budget?

Pc specs?

 

Send photos of the psu and wattage table just to make sure itll be fine, if you need to upgrade your psu dont avoid doing so since used psus exist and you can buy a quality 850w gold like the rm(x) for like 50$ invalidating the cost argument for swapping the psu out
