[SOLVED] Is a 450 Watt PSU able to handle an RX 5700 XT or RX 6800 without any stability issues?

[MacTavish08]

Hello everyone. I'm looking forward to purchasing an AMD RX 5700 XT or the newer RX 6800, even though there is somewhat of a price gap in between those two. I absolutely need to know if I can run any of those on a 450 W PSU. Mine is a Corsair CV450 with 80+ Bronze efficiency and it has the required 2x6+2 pin power connectors. Despite that, I am worried that the power draw will be too high and PSU wouldn't be able to handle it, since I don't have any sort of measurement tool to calculate it. I am currently running a system with an I5 10400, 16GB of 2666mhz Patriot Viper RAM, Gigabyte RX570, B460m-Pro4 Motherboard, a 1TB, 240GB and 120 GB S-ATA SSDs respectively, along with a 1 TB WD Blue HDD. I'm waiting for some opinions or suggestions on whether I can safely buy one of the aforementioned GPUs and not have to worry about anything. Moreover I would like to find out if there's any way to measure power draw via some sort of software.
Thanks in advance!

No.

Especially not a Corsair CV series.

i would go at least for a 650 watts and if you could chose a modular one you will find a lot of software for this power draw on the net .

Your PSU. Get a new one. At least 650watts. Get a quality unit

i

i have a 450w psu at the moment and its not doing well, im getting crashes on my pc, and they reduce when i undervolt my gpu but i still get them. I recommend that you get a higher wattage / better quality power supply mate.

i got a rx 5600 and a vs450w Corsair PSU
