Will a 600W PSU Be Enough for an Upgrade to a 9070XT?
Asked by

I'm considering upgrading my GPU to a 9070XT, but I'm uncertain if my current 600W PSU will handle it. PCPartPicker suggests a total power draw of 535W with the 9070XT, which makes me a bit nervous. Do you think I need to upgrade to a 750W PSU? Thanks for any advice!

You can rely on those numbers, especially if you have a good quality 600W PSU. It could work, but it might be cutting it close. Just keep in mind that running at max capacity isn't ideal for system longevity.

For that setup, a 750W PSU is really recommended, especially for future-proofing. It's better to have a bit more overhead for your components to run reliably.

SolidBuildFan: Yeah, they have the be quiet PSU listed, and while it’s decent quality, I think pushing it like that isn’t the best idea.
CloudyGaming: It's a Bronze 80+; I remember reading that it's a good choice, but still, it feels a bit risky to skimp on power.
