Question Is 750 watts PSU enough for 5070 Ti?

[alexb75]

I had an older desktop with a top of the line Seasonic 80 Gold Plus PSU (8yrs or so) which is rated 750 watts and 62amp on 12V.

Would this do fine for RTX 5070 Ti or 4070 Ti Super?

I am building with a Radeon 9 7900 (65w) CPU, 32gb DDR5 RAM, 2xSSD, 3xHDD, and an ATX case with 4 fans.

The power calculators say between 650-750 should be fine but I want to make sure it would be running ok based on real life experience and also the age of the power supply.

Thanks

Is it 8 years old or older? I wouldn't rely on that PSU, not with the sort of hardware we're seeing in 2025, instead investing in a reliably built 850W unit, with a native 12V-2x6 connector.

What exact model? Some from that era have shut down issues with recent GPUs.

Seasonic X-750 (SS-750Km Active PFC F3). Has had ZERO issues!

As a general rule, and for the health and long life of your PSU, your peak power draw should be less than 90% of the rated wattage of the PSU. IMHO, you're too close for comfort.
