XFX 650 watt paired with RTX 2070

[sokis]

I have an XFX TS 650 watt bronze PSU with i5 4690k haswell CPU can i add an nvidia MSI Armor OC RTX 2070 for 1440p or should i get a 2060?

Yes, you can add a RTX 2070.

 

[Math Geek]

plenty of power with 650w available.

cpu is about 100w or so with a light OC and the 2070 is 200w or so leaving plenty of headroom for the rest of the system.

And will the bottleneck be so high as the gpucheck sais at 20 FPS?

 

[Math Geek]

at 1440p it should be fine. the higher the resolution the more it puts on the GPU. the 4690k should hold it's own fine unless the game itself requires more than 4 cores which is unlikely

Agreed. I bought a 1440p monitor some days ago. Have not arrived yet, but from my research, higher resolution is more demanding on the GPU. Me myself have a 6600k. Will be upgraded when the new Ryzen CPU comes. And the GPU when the next Nvidia series comes. The new AMD GPU (radeon VII) was a bit of a little disappointing.

is it same for the Gigabyte RTX 2060 windforce OC? can this be add?it has a tdp of 190 watt according to overclockers.co.uk

 

[Math Geek]

yah no worries there either. plenty of headroom.

until the GPU gets to about 400w or so you got nothing to stress over

Is the cooler master power supply calculator acurate?

 

[Math Geek]

honestly very few of those are very accurate. many brands that sell junk psu's add in all kinds of extra power needs cause they know their crap psu can't handle what they say it does.

one of the best i have seen is on partpicker.com put your spec list into it and it'll show power needs. it'll be much lower and much more accurate than those other calculators out there. i always add about 20% or so to that number to decide how big a psu to get. so if it says the system will use 400w, then i add 20% and get at least a 480w psu. keep in mind though that it does not account for overclocking. so if you plan on that, you need to do some homework and figure out how much extra power draw will be used. reviews and benchmarks are the best place for this kind of info.

of course you can have extra power so that's not set in stone. most often the 500-550w units are the best bang for the buck buys and having 550w if it only needs 400w won't hurt a thing
