Hey everyone, I just upgraded my GPU to the Gigabyte 9070 Gaming OC after using an RTX 2070 Super from Asus. I'm curious if my current 600W power supply is reliable enough for this new graphics card. I know it's from a reputable brand and has a gold certification. I checked PCPartPicker for my entire build, which includes a Ryzen 7 5700X3D, TUF Gaming B450 motherboard, and 32GB of Kingston Fury RAM at 3600MHz. The wattage estimate came to 474 watts, and it only increased to 481 watts with the new GPU. Does this mean my PSU will be fine, or should I be worried?

You should be all good with that setup! Like you mentioned, the calculations show you have plenty of overhead with your PSU. Go ahead and install the new GPU!
The 9070 actually has a similar power draw to the 2070 Super, so your calculations are spot on. You should be set!
Yeah, you should be fine! Just to be safe, consider undervolting. It helps with power usage and can improve your cooling as well.
Totally agree. I've seen videos showing that the GPU performs well with undervolting!
Good to know! Thanks!
