[SOLVED] Rtx 2080 psi requirement

[tilomilo777]

Can a 500w psu support an rtx 2080?
My specs are:
I5-8400
16gb ram
1tb hard drive 120 gb ssd

A high quality 500w should do. Though, the recommended wattage is 650.

500W is not enough go with at least min 650W+ 750 or 850 preferred so there isnt any lack of power with other hardware

600W is surely enough power provided that you don't aggressively overclock your CPU and your card only has 6+8 pin pcie connector. But that is the minimum I would go with, and it better be a tier 1 PSU. You really don't wanna cheap out on PSU for $800-ish graphic card.

With that said, there are plenty of 650W Tier 1 PSU out there right now that cost less than $70 USD.

I don't think you would need 750w or 850w, although these do provide the peace of mind.
