Question Is 650w psu enough for rx 6800 xt

[DoubtingCastle]

Hi, so I recently got a xfx rx 6800 xt merc319 but, I returned it because it had coil whine. So, I saw on amazon that the red devil 6800xt was on sale for 600$ and I know that this is overall a better card so I bought it (it still has not yet come). But I looked at the psu requirements and it says 850w and I only have 650w.



PC Specs:

Gpu: Soon to be the Red Devil 6800 xt

Cpu: Ryzen 5 5600x w/ stock cooler

Ram:2x8gb ddr4 ram

Motherboard: asus strix rog b550-f

Psu: seasonic focus 650w gm

HDD: 1

SSd:1

M.2:1

All accounts are that a 6800xt requires 750W supply as a baseline.

Does your 650w supply even have the 3x 8 pin connectors required?

The card only requires 2x8 pin which I have.

Are you asking for permission to do something that probably wont work and might damage components?

An old 650W supply that is suddenly faced with 40% more draw might blow up or fizzle out. OTH, it might work.

I mean im going to be using 144hz and vsync, so doesnt that reduce powerdraw?
