Question GTX 10/16 vs RTX 20/30 , Truth vs Lie ?

This is actually decent PSU. Mediocre quality and would do fine with GTX 1660 Ti.

For 2nd opinion about that PSU, look at PSU tier list,

Pure Power 11 is in Tier B. While Tier A PSU would be better. Still, given that there are FAR worse PSUs out there, Pure Power 11 will do.

Also, GTX 1660 Ti doesn't have high transient power spikes, which would otherwise trip the PSU (that's this specific PSU issue, mostly plagued by higher capacity units, when using beefier GPUs, especially RTX 30-series).


GTX 1660 Ti is 120W GPU, add the rest of the system to it at ~200W and on max load, PC consumes ~320W, making 500W PSU enough (even have some CPU/GPU OC headroom).

Hi again. Update, my new card should arrive tomorrow. Question, I'm worried that more might be wrong than just the GPU that's been dying. Can a dying GPU make Windows act like something more is very wrong? It would try to start, get to where Windows login should be but no display. I'd go to reset the PC and it'd go through repair attempts, crash again. Then every now and then it'd reach the desktop just fine. Is this just the GPU on its last legs or should I be worried more is wrong with my PC? I will say that when it reaches Windows (sometimes) everything else seems fine. Can a dying gpu really make your PC act so nutty?

No display is usually GPU issue. Now, if you kill the power before OS has been able to boot fully and without shutting down properly, OS may think something is wrong with the OS itself, thus producing the repair screen on next boot up.

Also, killing the power prematurely, can corrupt the OS, which is another possible reason why OS repair screen shows up on next boot up.

So, i'd advise against using PC until GPU replacement can be done.

Btw, what CPU the PC has?

It's an i9 10900KF

So, no dice regarding using iGPU until new GPU arrives, since that CPU doesn't have iGPU in it (none of the F-suffix CPUs have iGPU in them).

Yep. I wasn't too thrilled to find that out. At least it's coming tomorrow.
