[SOLVED] Is 750w PSU enough for RTX3070?

[Acorniscute]

Is 750w 80+ gold enough for a RTX 3070?

Depends on the power supply and all the other parts used.

750 watt gold gives no information some are rather bad.

It should be, but no matter what I would still calculate my power budget and verify.

@Acorniscute um... Yes. According to Nvidia you should be fine with a 750w psu.

Good luck!

upvotes are highly appreciated

750w is meaningless without knowing the exact psu. We need full pc spec, make and model of psu and gpu.

In principle, even 650W should be enough even for an RTX3080. In practice though, many 750W PSUs struggle to provide sufficiently clean power to keep RTX3070s and up happy.

It really depends on the specific PSU and what else is in your system.

What is the make/model of the proposed psu?
If it is of high quality, then yes.

If it is a cheap quality unit, then do not use one, regardless of the claimed power or gold rating.

What is the make/model of the 3070?
Some factory overclocked units need two 8 pin power connectors vs. the normal one.

As long as it is a good quality PSU and is actually capable of delivering 650W. If you check the nvidia website you will find this for 3070 " Required System Power (W) = 650 ".

The power supply i have is:

, and I'm gonna get ASUS's Rtx3070

That's a good power supply.

ASUS's Rtx3070 recommended PSU is 750W which is MIN imo. You should also consider future upgrades or Overclocks.
I would recommend an 850W Gold certified unit of reputable quality and efficiency to be safe. Seasonic Focus gold are well worth the expense with 10 years Warrantee.

Very good choice and I expect it is ok. You really should list your whole pc spec including the exact 3070. Not all 3070’s have the same power requirements and there can easily be >100W difference in power requirements for the cpu.

 

[geofelt]

You are good.

Check my sig.
I use a asus 3070 that needs two 8 pin connectors.
I use a seasonic focus 750 with no problems.
Testing with passmark, I saw the 3070 at 100% with no power issues.
I monitored the actual power draw with the APC ups powerchute app.
That said, there is usually minimal price difference between 750w and 850W. Today, I would try to buy 850w. The psu will only draw the power it needs, regardless of the max capability.

That's a good PSU.
I've had absolutely no issues with fully overclocked equipment and this PSU (see sig).
