As title says i'm looking to buy an XFX Swift AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Gaming White 16GB GDDR6 GPU.
In the details it recommends an 800w PSU, Since I wanna undervolt it by -80mV, is my 750w PSU gonna be fine then? I just wanna add that my CPU isn't very power-hungry either as it's the 10900 non-k version.
 
Solution
Adata XPG Core Reactor 750W 80+ GOLD

And here's rest as of today

• Case: Lian Li 011 Dynamic
• Motherboard: ASRock Z490 STEEL LEGEND
• CPU: Intel Core i9-10900
• GPU: Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3070 GAMING OC rev 1.0
• AIO: Corsair iCUE H150i ELITE CAPELLIX White 3x120mm
• RAM: ADATA XPG Spectrix D60G 32GB (4x8GB) DDR4 3200MHz CL16
• SSD: Crucial MX500 1TB Sata III


Short answer no at least a 800w is minimum according to there website

Would not run on anything less then that

As Ohio buckeye has already stated do not skimp it's a good way to have a paper weight of a system
As title says i'm looking to buy 9070 XT, XFX Radeon RX 9070 XT Swift Gaming White 16GB GDDR6 to be exact. In the details it recommends 800w psu, since i wanna undervolt it by -80mV is my 750 psu gonna be fine then? I just wanna add that my cpu isn't very hungry either as it is 10900 non-k version.
PSUs are rated by maximum continuous load and you don't want to do that for long time, 75% of that at most. That GPU draws up to 304W and rest of system is probably less than 400 so in theory real 750W should be enough. I wrote "real 750w" because many PSUs can't sustain full power for long (overheats and becomes unstable) so make and model is important.
 
You’re spending hundreds on a new 9070xt and then skimping on the part that could fry your new card…. Do what you want but the better idea is to replace your power supply with a better unit or get a lower power card. You might consider the 9070 non xt.

But I won’t recommend what you said in the opening post, especially not knowing what power supply you have. I always like having a little extra headroom on the power supply so you aren’t running at it’s maximum all the time.
 
What is the EXACT model of your power supply?
