Can My Old Power Supply Handle a New RTX 5070 Ti?

Your 650W power supply should handle it, as the TDP for those components is 300W for the GPU and 65W for the CPU. However, make sure to check the power supply's brand and model to ensure it's reliable and within warranty.

While 650W is generally enough, keep in mind that the RTX 5070 Ti can spike above 350W in benchmarks, and NVIDIA recommends a minimum of 700W. It’s worth considering the PSU's age, especially since yours is around 7 years old.

I’d be cautious about reusing that PSU. A lot depends on its brand and quality. If it’s a well-rated model, it could work, but I’d check a PSU tier list to see where it stands. Don't forget, the 80 Plus Gold rating only speaks to efficiency, not overall quality or safety features.
