[SOLVED] Will 500W be enough for 1080ti & Ryzen 5 2600

[PCguy12345]

Hello, I have recently purchased a 1080ti to replace my rx570 4gb. I only have 500w of power (Bronze certified). Will that be enough? Here are my specs.

Ryzen 5 2600

B450 Motherboard

Gtx 1080ti (2x8pin connector)

16GB RAM

250GB SSD

1TB Hard Drive

NZXT h400i

500W PSU

What is the brand and model of your PSU?

A high quality 500W PSU might be enough, a set-your-house-on-fire quality PSU most likely won't.

No, you can't use it with a 1080ti. It's a bad psu meant for use in office PCs and not to power a high-end gaming rig. I would upgrade it as soon as possible.

Already enough. Here's the link of the calculation: https://outervision.com/b/ZsvOCW
Oh yeah, I don't know your exact peripherals but that is the rough calculation.

Wattage calculations does not help when a PSU is not reliably outputting that wattage and does not have proper protections. His PSU is bad and not capable of supporting his hardware. Wattage alone does not make everything work flawlessly. Bad PSUs are prone to failing and taking other hardware with them. Even worse, if they are very bad, they can start a fire.

Ah, I'm very very sorry, I didn't know about that. But thank you for the reply tho, it helps me understand, I'll delete my reply so people won't get mistaken.

Have a nice day!
