Is My UPS Enough for My New RX 9070 Graphics Card?
Asked by

I recently upgraded my PC with a new RX 9070 graphics card, but now my uninterruptible power supply (UPS) rated at 1000W shuts down while I'm gaming. I have to let it recharge before I can use it again. I'm trying to figure out if the UPS is not sufficient for my setup or if my outlets aren't providing enough power. Here's a bit about my build: I'm using an i9 11th gen 11900k CPU. Any insights?

Switching from an RTX 3060 to the RX 9070 definitely changes the power needs. If you’re considering upgrading to a 1250W UPS, that should improve things, but it might be worth looking at even higher wattage if you want to future-proof your setup!

Have you checked the power consumption of all your components? If they exceed what your power supply can handle, you might need a stronger UPS. With an i9 in the mix, a 1000W supply might be pushing it. What was your previous GPU by the way?
