Question GPU wattage

[OscarMarrink]

Hello,
I’ve got a question I have a power supply of 450 watt I want to buy a graphics card that uses 215 watt but it says minimum required PSU is 650 watt am I still able to get it because it uses 215 watt or do I really need 650 watt?
inno3d geforce rtx 2070 super gaming oc x3
Unreleased
Corsair SF450 platinum 80
I don’t exactly know when it came out


thanks for helping 🙏🏼

Get a Corsair RM650, and you'll be fine.

Is that the same size as the SF450?

 

[AllanGH]

RM650: 150mm x 86mm x 160mm
SF450: 100mm x 63mm x 125mm

You'll need to measure your case to see if you have enough room for it.

It’s not I can buy the corsair SF750 because I got the node 202

Your proposed card needs a 6 and a 8 pin connector.
That has a potential to use 75w for the 6 pin, 150w for the 8 pin and 75w for the slot.
Your SF450 has two 6+ 2 connectors so it should be able to power your new card.
Of course, you also need power for the CPU and peripherals.
What is your processor, and are you overclocking?
Unless you are overly heavy on the cpu, I would try your 450w unit.
No damage will happen if it turns out to be insufficient.
The most likely symptom will be display artifacts.

Your case requires a SFX format due to the size.
There are now some good/strong SFX units available if you should need more power.

I got the ryzen 5 2600 non-x so I won’t overclock. Thanks for helping me this answer makes me very happy 😊
