[SOLVED] will my system run on a 550psu if i upgrade to and rtx 2070 super

[OllieYelland123]

specs:

i5 7600
rtx 2070 super
16gb ddr4 2400mhz
ssd and hdd
asus b250k prime mobo
VS550 corsiar psu
1 moniter at 1080p 60hz

it seems most psu calculators say it is enough but is it?

I wouldn't trust that PSU, with such a card. It is not a quality unit. I would recommend at least a Corsair CX650m. Usually it is priced about the same, as the 550w version.

yeah ok the thanks, ill probably just upgrade to a 5700xt then cos i cant really afford to ugrade both psu and gpu

The 5700xt needs more power than the 2070 super.

The 5700xt needs more power than the 2070 super.

A Corsair CX650m is still plenty, for a 5700xt, though. It is nearly as fast, and $100 cheaper. That would allow them to get a GPU, and a PSU.

From the way I read his post he was thinking the 5700xt used less power keeping him from replacing the PSU.

wait really a 5700x uses more than a 2070 super!?

 

[OllieYelland123]

so what would be the best card to upgrade to without also upgrading the psu?

About a 10W difference, according to the official TDP ratings.

you should be able to run a 2060 Super but I would still replace the PSU.

If you look up the actual vbios for most of these cards, the 2070 Super is the bigger power sucker: https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios...r=&model=&interface=&memType=&memSize=&since=
