Question Seasonic 620w PSU is enough for RTX 2070super

[davidty1996]

I am planning to buy a Gigabyte RTX 2070 super Aorus. Is 620w psu enough for that card? Thanks

Provided it has the necessary PCI-E power cables (it should), it's more than enough.

3rd that. As long as it has the required connectors it will work.

To elaborate, im assuming you are mentioning a m12 or s12 620w. Both are well built hut very dated so there are better options available.

Thanks to all who replied. When I was checking the GPU website, it says that recommended PSU is 650w. I just have to confirm it here. lol

Kind of surprised by that. I had no idea the 2070 Supers needed so much power. At any rate, as long as the power supply has 2 x 6+2 pin power connectors, you should be good to go.

Thanks for the help.

I was viewing the website of Seasonic about my PSU M12II Evo it says here:

Connector	Connector Count	Cable Length
Main Power (24/20 pins)	1	1 x 610 mm - modular
CPU (8/4 pins)	1	1 x 650 mm - 8/4pins modular
PCIe (8/6 pins)	4	2 x 550 + 100 mm - modular
SATA	8	2 x 400 + 120 + 120 + 120 mm - modular
Peripheral	5	1 x 400 + 120 + 120 mm - modular 1 x 300 + 120 mm - modular
Floppy	1	1 x 101 mm - modular

I kinda dont get it. Hehe. sorry.

PCIe (8/6 pins)4

That's all you need to know. Your card needs 2. You have 4.

I'd still recommend to go for a 650w, even if the manufacturer includes more thsn enough cables, they do recommend 650w..

no it isn't required but I'd recommend to if you have a good enough budget

Not unless you are doing something really crazy with the rest of the build. All we know so far is the GPU. What does the rest of the system look like?

I checked Pcpartpicker and it says in estimated wattage = 439W. Is this accurate?

The 2070 super is 95% of a 2080, so it would make sense they would have the same reccomended psu.

You should be abke to get buy with the s12ii, but if you havent bought it yes i would concider a different psu.

Currently you can get a Corsair RMx 650w 80+ Gold psu for $89.

One of the best power supplies on the market and much more modern and an s12ii.
