[SOLVED] 2060 power consumption

[Frank Effe]

so i'm wondering if should i buy or not a 2060 considering that i have a ryzen 5 1600af, 16gb of ram and a Thermaltake Smart of 500W (80+ ofc) as PSU. I've seen a lot of benchmarks about the wattage consumption, but the results are waaaaaay different. Anyway, what's the average wattage for gaming of a 2060?

2060 Peak at ~ 166 watts.

The RTX 2060 is rated for 160W, give or take 10%.

The reason why so many review sites have different measurements is because many of them measure system power consumption. So it's entirely dependent on what computer they throw it in. Tom's Hardware, Tech Power Up, and I believe Gamer's Nexus are the only ones I've found that bother measuring just the video card.
