Question 3060ti underperformance/crashing

[drumslayer]

I recently got a 3060ti (yes I know it’s outdated now). My system currently is a prebuilt that I’ve upgraded, and I’m concerned that I’m not getting the full performance out of the 3060ti. The system has 16gb ram, a R5 2600, and a 550w PSU. When I looked up minimum power requirements for the 3060ti, it said 550, so I assumed I’d be fine. However, based on benchmarks I saw my GPU is underperforming pretty substantially on a few games (warzone 2, apex) and I can’t figure out why. Apex also crashed mid game, and blue screened my PC. All my drivers are updated, is it possible I need to upgrade my PSU? Any troubleshooting help would be appreciated.

Get a quality 650w or larger psu.

Get a quality 650w or larger psu.

So do you think the crash was due to the power supply?

I second this. A quality unit is very important for the stability of your system. And yes it can causes crashes/BSODs.

I also agree. Get a quality PSU.
