650W PSU okay for an RX 9070 XT upgrade?
650 is plenty.
1 hour ago, DNooby said:650W is a tad too close imo, 750 you should be fine, 850 AOK
I have a 9800x3d and 9070 xt and have seen my system draw 560W from the wall when gaming, but that's consistent pull... you have to take into account power spikes
I personally got an 850W, but realistically 750W should be fine ( in fact I've seen 750W be recommended for 9070 XT systems as long as the CPU isn't too power hungry )
edit: and my model is only the light OC variant ( 314W ), some of the other models pull 340W
560W from wall... a 650W titanium PSU is rated to pull 720W from the wall, a 80+ white is rated to pull over 800W (aka the titanium pulls 90watts LESS then the white PSU at 100% load) The power rating on a PSU is about the power it can PROVIDE to a computer, not what it can pull.
you have ALOT of head room. OP can overclock both and be safe
Power spikes are what the 130% OCP is for.
If you are 100% loading your system and its only pulling 560W from the wall, you could have gone with a 500W PSU and been fine DNooby.
