Question 3080 Strix OC 10G on a not particularly high end 750w PSU

[Amethyst02]

I've managed to get this specific card and it's on the way. However, I currently have a 750w Aerocool PSU powering a 3070 Eagle card. I'm linking the specs of the PSU, but it's an Aerocool Aero Bronze 750w unit. I can't seem to insert a picture, probably due to being a new user. So here's the link:

Can I get away with using it? The recommended PSU wattage appears to be 850, but I've seen people getting away with less. Not much lower than 750 mind you. I don't intend to overclock. Manually overclock anyway. I've also read that it's ideal to have 60-70A on the 12v rail. This appears to be 62A.

Thanks

Not a good idea if the psu decides to go down dirty you could end up with a pile of scrap.

Shop for a quality 850w or bigger psu.

I don't see any website that says the 3070 requires an 850 watt where did you read that at?????

i would always get something form the A list, and sell what you have if you don't like it.

In these times I would just go big or go home at get a 1k.
