[SOLVED] NVIDIA GEForce RTX 3060 Ti / Power Supply

[Len Brown]

My son just purchased the NVIDIA Supernova G3 Serries and looking at the card and his power supply he does not seem to have an available power cable from his power supply. is the video card compatible with the Supernova G3 Series and Power Supply? Is there a recommended power supply for this card?

Thanks

NVIDIA Supernova G3

If the PSU really does have a name of "NVIDIA Supernova G3" then it is a fake. SuperNova G3 is made by EVGA.

Now, if you'd even have the lowest wattage G3, 550W, then it does have three PCI-E 8 (6+2) pin cables that can be connected to GPU,
550W unit specs: https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=220-G3-0550-Y1

G3 series consist of 550W, 650W, 750W, 850W and 1000W units. So, do you have genuine EVGA PSU and what wattage it is? Also, was the PSU bought brand new, or from 2nd hand market?

Btw, RTX 3060 TI is 200W GPU and 650W PSU is good fit for it. 550W PSU is a bit too less to power it.
