RX 480 consumption

[Master565]

Hello,im considering buying AMD RX 480 with 8GB DDR5. My question is that can my 500W PSU handle it?

500w should be fine. But you should do some research to see if your motherboard will work. A lot of people are having problems where the card will randomly stop working because the card has some power draw issues.

Most likely it can. However, what make and model of PSU do you have?

I read about it right now and i dont think its gonna be problem in my case as i wont do overclocking and wont play 4K for sure,so i think my MOBA should stay safe
