[SOLVED] is 500w power supply enough for a rx 5600 xt ?

[PANTSIRdz]

this is my spec : ryzen 5 1600 + gtx 1050 ti + 16 GB RAM+ psu cooler master 500 w 1 SSD 2 HDD i WANT to upgrade my gpu without changing my 500 w psu so will be safe to upgrademy old gpu to this new AMD card without having problem with my pc power consumption ?

Should be ok, but no guarantees. Recommended is at least 550 watts. Your current GTX 1050Ti doesn't even come close to the power requirements of the RX 5600XT. I know you don't want to, but I'd recommend a power supply upgrade.

Should be enough, but if it is one of the bad CM models I wouldnt

Since you already own the 500W, keep using it, you should be fine. For a new build I would recommend to go a little higher.

I am not sure I'd trust a CoolerMaster unit.

hey thanks for

this is my spec : ryzen 5 1600 + gtx 1050 ti + 16 GB RAM+ psu cooler master 500 w 1 SSD 2 HDD i want to upgrade my gpu without changing my 500 w psu so will be safe to upgrade my old gpu to this new AMD card without having problem with my pc power consumption ?

thanks for all ur replies ..... i calculated my pc power consumption without the GPU and i found it about 250 w i used
Power Supply Calculator - PSU Calculator | OuterVision

... basically that mean my psu could provide extra 250 for the gpu alone and i watch some reviews about the rx 5600 xt power consumption under heavy load ( 160-200 w ) less than 250 w so i guess i am still in the safe zone !

What's the model of the PSU. Coolermaster has some real junk that can't deliver anything close to it's advertised power where it counts and overloading them is dangerous.

What is the model of this PSU?

The 5600xt draws less power than an RX570 in practice, so 500w is fine.

MWE white, mwe bronze, mwe gold?

Cooler master makes many MWE models of varying quality.

MWE 500 ... weird thing the rx 570 has the same typical board power ( desktop ) 150 w as the rx 5600 xt and AMD psu recommandation for the rx 570 is psu 450 w and for the 5600 xt is 550 w

What is the 80+ rating? White Bronze or gold?

If you look at cards like a 1070 it has a 150w board power and 500w recommendation.
A 2060 has a 160w board power and 500w recommendation.

AMD may have bumped the PSU requirement up because of higher-end CPUs out now draw more power than high-end CPUs when the 570 came out.
