Question Looking to upgrade wonder if my PSU can handle it

[mugiwhy]

hey noob question here but I'm looking to upgrade my gpu to the 9070xt (open to the normal 9070 if its a massive upgrade in your opinion over my 6700xt) and was wondering if my PSU (Thermaltake 650w 80+gold) my cpu is a Ryzen 7 5800x3d, current gpu is a RX 6700xt. (sidenote I really dont want to upgrade psu's if I dont have to)

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

my PSU (Thermaltake 650w 80+gold)
Thermaltake is the brand of the PSU while 650W is the advertised wattage of the unit. 80+ Gold is the advertised 80+ efficiency rating for said unit. What is the model of the unit and it's age?

I'm looking to upgrade my gpu to the 9070xt
The Sapphire Nitro + is the one that will come with the horrendous 16pin connector, you will need to change your PSU for sure. Which one are you looking at?

For a new high performance graphic card you should have a minimum of a 1000 Watt or higher Wattage PSU for extra headroom for your system. Just a suggestion. Cheers.

It is a Toughpower GF1 premium (2021) and i have had it since 2021. For your second question I'm really looking at all brands.
