[SOLVED] Will a 5500 XT run on a 300W PSU?

[NerdNelso]

I was pretty sure the answer was no, but now i'm pretty confused, my PSU is a 300 W ATX E-STAR 6.0 Bronze (according to HP, my PC is a HP Pavilion Power 580-105np), and even though its rating of 300W it has two 6-pin connectors, which is the reason of my confusion, because why would they let you put a GPU with that if, supposedly, a GTX 1050Ti would already be pushing the 300W limit?

What CPU do you have?

What CPU do you have?

An i7-8700

1050ti is 75W
rx 5500xt is 130W

That's why im confused because, again, that PSU has two 6-pin connectors, but why if for 300W the "max" would be a GPU who doesn't even need 1

not sure but that 300w cant' handle 8700 with rx 5500xt

Yeah. Save up for a better PSU. The 5500 XT is also not an amazing card and may limit your CPU a bit.
