Hi I am thinking of buying a 5070ti once the prices drop to ~MSRP. I currently have a Corsair HX850 Platinum PSU. I am wondering if I should invest in an ATX 3.0 PSU to accommodate power excursions. From what I read it looks like my old PSU is ATX v 2.4 and its 850W rating might not be able to handle the power spikes from the 5070ti. Anybody agree/disagree?
If it's a good idea to upgrade the PSU, anybody have any recommendations? I assume 850W is a good choice to go with? My favorite go-to brands Asus/Be Quiet!/Corsair only get blue ratings for the ATX 3.0 PSUs in the tier A list at the cultists list. Am I correct in thinking this is because they don't have professional reviews?
Also I currently have an old GSync only monitor so unless AMD has a totally superior GPU compared to the 5070ti then I think the 5070ti is the way to go.
Thanks!
