[SOLVED] Is a 500W PSU enough for a 3060 Ti-3070?

[BabyLor67]

Hey guys, I'm upgrading my GPU and I wanna know if I can get away with my XFX XT 80 PLUS BRONZE 500w PSU without upgrading it. I'm planning to get a RTX 3060ti or RTX 3070.
I'm on a tight budget so currently I could upgrade either the gpu or the power supply, not both. Do you think it is better to buy a power supply of about 850w to have plenty for future improvements and then with savings plus the money I can get from selling my current gtx 1060 6gb buy the new GPU?

Sorry for my English, it's not my first language.

The 3060 Ti recommends at least 600w. The 3070, at least 650w.

I would not recommend using with your current PSU.

Yes, having a quality, higher capacity PSU (like the aforementioned 850w one) would give you flexibility for future upgrades.

That's a very bad group regulated unit made by RSY. It's recommended to replace it anyway.
