Question Hello! Can I run a rx570 using a 450watt psu

[JackXxTheRippeR]

I was hoping to buy a mid-range GPU. My first option was the GTX 1050ti..... But the rx570 supports most of the latest games. So I thought of buying it, but then only I realised the 500 Watt Power consumption
It would be awesome if anyone could help
PEACE!!

You'll be fine.

Amd lists requirements 450w for the 570. 1050ti supports all games as well but 570 performs better, somewhat closer to a gtx1060.

Thank you soo much my duude
Btw you are sure right I have a Corsair vs450 psu

Not the best psu but it's ok, it'll do what you want.

I wouldn't trust that PSU with the RX 570 for long term usage. Sure you can run with it for a small period, but I'd be looking for an upgrade asap(as you said quality of the components is quite bad with the VS series, so reliability is a big question mark with these units). A 500-550W better quality unit will do(Corsair CX or TX models if you're on a budget).

Yaah...... But I'm not in a situation where I can upgrade the PSU
But when I looked up on Amazon the RX 570 strix only took up 165Watts.........soooooooo........
Dose that make the card less powerful or is it just more developed or something?
Btw all the RX 570 are same right?
Since I've seen multiple brands just like the 1050ti
PEACE

165w is what the card will draw at maximum load, it's not a measurement of performance.

Performance between different brands of the same card would only be 1 or 2 fps. Go for a model with atleast two fans incase one fails it's still functional. Noise levels can be another factor in your search. Look at rx570 roundup reviews where a bunch are stacked up and compared.

So I'm guessing the strix Rx 570 is a good buy😃
Thanks everyone for all the help!!

Asus are usually the best cooling cards and quiet. Good choice.

As for the reason why a 450 or 500 watt power supply is recommended for a card that draws less than 200 watts under full load, they're figuring in the rest of the system's components like the CPU, and leaving a good margin of error to account for power supplies of lesser quality. They don't know exactly what other hardware someone will have in their system, after all.
