Vega 64 - Need Assistance

[Derekkawaii]

Hi, I would like to ask if my PSU Seasonic 650 gold+ will be enough for this GPU RX Vega 64 or do I need to upgrade it to 750 - 850 or 1000. I just bought the GPU after realizing that it has 2 6pin connect at this one is a power hungry GPU.

Thanks in Advance.

Need the system spec and actual info on which model Vega you have. But as long as the PSU has the proper connections, it should be fine. Seasonic makes some of the best PSU's

2x6 pin connectors? Are you sure, or are they 8 pin connectors?

Currently im running at 6600k
G5 z170x
500 ssd
1T hdd
16gb 3200 ram

I post a thread few days ago about upgrading my system since my current work allows me to do photoshop and rendering also i used to play league of legend and dota. I also record and stream as well. So i decided to upgrame my gpu first and then i will upgrade my mobo and processor to ryzen 7 2700x and x470 gigabyte g7.

Your current PSU is a very good make, and looking at the rest of your specs, it will be fine for both the current and future setup. There is no reason to go replacing it as it's more than capable of powering the Vega 64 plus a modern mobo and processor.

Oh one more thing, is ok to buy used gpu that was used in mining for a bout 3 to 4 months?

Most likely, however with any used electronics there is a risk, especially if it's been used 24/7 for mining.
Most miners will actually underclock the GPU a little bit to get a large reduction in electricity usage (and heat generated) for the loss of only a small bit of performance.....this is good for the health of the GPU, but the rest of the components still have the hours on them. So, make sure it's all in good working order before accepting it, and I hope you're getting it cheap.

Just a question only since lately i saw a lot of cheap gtx 1070ti used in mining.
