[SOLVED] Testing 3070 TI on 550w PSU

[JJSwatt]

I just bought a 3070 TI online. I have 3 days to test it until payment is released to the seller. I may not be able get a PSU upgrade before than. Is there anyway I can test it on the 550w PSU without using the GPU at max?

the minimum requirement i've seen for the RTX 3070 Ti is 650w.
while you could test it with a 550w, you'd never know if it can handle it's own max core & memory output this way.

if it's new just keep it.
the manufacturer will handle any later malfunctions through RMA.

if used; contact the seller and explain the situation.
maybe they'll extend your coverage for a couple days.

or take it to a local shop and have it tested.
they should have test-bench systems ready for use.

Brand and model?

EVGA Bronze

Which model exactly because EVGA has garbage Bronze PSUs and good Bronze PSUs.
