Rtx 3060 ti power supply?

[DukeRukanGVC]

Yes. You can easily have a good quality PSU with a good warranty period and has plenty of power for gutrure GPUs... 650W is fine and will handle any single mainstream CPU and GPU including overclocking and allowing for plenty of headroom for other items and upgrades. I run a 3080 Strix with a 10980XE overclocked to 4.5 GHz on a 750W PSU. Surely you can run a 3060 Ti and [name CPU here] with 650W. This will put some more money in your pocket and still accomplish your goals.

I'm going to be using an AMD Ryzen 5 1600 or 3400G so seems like the problem is solved, PC parts are pretty expensive here in Norway so my PC is going to cost around $1400 or $1700 with screen, keyboard and mouse

 

[Tatty_Two]

Nvidia recommend in relation to Intel CPU's for the RTX3060Ti as a minimum 550w coupled with an i5, 650w with an i7 and 750w with an i9, AMD CPU equivalents are roughly the same, I might naturally be sceptical about the 550w but I suppose if it is using a single 8 pin PCI-E there would be no problem. In my experience Nvidia factor in some headroom for these "recommendations" but generally they don't allow for significant GPU and/or CPU overclocking.

You'll be fine with a 550W with that setup... but I'd still go 650W. 850W is just burning money.

Ok! Thank you, that will save me a lot of money

So previously i was only considering the 3060 ti because the 3070 is like 200 usd more expensive but now it's only 100usd so like msrp difference. Which one should i go for? I'm playing at 1440p. Do i go for the 3060 ti or just go with the 3070?

How much is the price difference in your country? From this youtube benchmark, the 3070 is around 10% faster than the 3060Ti@1440P, so if the price matches, I'd buy the 3070 instead. In my country the 3070 is priced 20% higher than 3060Ti and with rumor Nvidia is going to announce new products (3080/3070Ti?) in January, I'm not buying the 3070 as of now.

It is
The RTX 3060TI is $399 in the US, but here in Norway it's about $559. But then again Norway is pretty expensive especially when it comes to PC parts

The 3060 ti is about 570 usd for the gigabyte gaming oc while the 3070 tuf goes for 800 usd. I bought the 3070 tuf from taiwan instead for 600usd but the downside is no warranty. Well there is but i have to send it back to taiwan.

Yesterday I built a secondary system with some component laying around the room.
Final config:
- i5 8600k stock
- Z370P D3 Gigabyte
- 16GB DDR4 2400
- SSD 500GB
- 2TB HDD
- Sound Blaster Z
- RTX 3060Ti (temporary moved for testing purpose)
- OCZ ModXstream 500W semi-modular (I know, it's a near 10 years old PSU :-\ )

I installed Rise of the tomb Raider and Need for Speed Heat: Hwinfo said 205W for Gpu power and 67W for CPU Package power. No stability issue during the game session, I'm pretty happy...

Nice... PSU should last another 5+ years. Dunno how much efficiency has gone down but should not be much. It's still good for your current rig.

nor was it good to start with... OCZ PSUs were meh at best. 10 years old... id be looking for another sooner than later. Glad it's working though!

I won't be worried about efficiency so much as it being able to output what it's supposed to in the first place. You're running well under, but I'd still look into getting a high quality unit sooner than later.

Absolutely correct, I was just curious to see if my old 500W (decent at time) psu was enought with a balanced rtx 3060ti build. After that, gpu will come back to my main r5 2600x rig (and a less old RM650 psu)

Btw thanks for your advice.

 

[EarthDog]

Cool. My point was to clarify that PSU wasn't good (ever, lol) and that it isnt efficiency so much as power output that changes over time. It may last 5 more years, but I'm not hedging my bets on it considering the starting quality wasnt great on that platform.

Enjoy!

Quick question, does anyone know if the Corsair CV550 PSU would work with the 3060 TI since it needs a certain amount of pins or something like that to power up? The specs on it weren't really clear...

It would but it's not recommended as it's group regulated, which is bad for modern builds.

What about mine, i have seasonic s12g 550w 80+ gold, buy it from mid 2019 i think,. and i want to upgrade my gpu to 3060 ti with r5 3600.

 

[AskYourDoctor]

I thought of buying a Corsair RM650X. Would 650w be enough, if i plan to overclock the CPU a little bit?
PSU calculation sites mostly show ~500W, but i read that the the 10600K could require a 750w psu, and the 3060ti also requires a lot of power.

GPU: Planned to buy a 3060ti OC
CPU: Intel i5 10600KF cooled with Be quiet! pure rock 2 (120mm)
Case-Fans: 4 x 140mm
Mainboard: Gigabyte Z490 Gaming X
RAM: 2x8GB DDR4 3600mhz (w/ RGB)
Storage: Samsung 860 EVO 1TB

Other recommendations and opinions are appreciated, i'm quite new to this stuff.

Very good PSU with more than enough power for your build. 750w for the 10600k is flat out incorrect

Used to have a nitro+ 5700xt with two 4k LCDs attached, hope the old 500W Enermax Platimax will cope now when 3060ti is about to arrive today. The cpu is i7 8700k@5Ghz and with furmark, cinebench and aida running simultaneously there was round 450W on the wall socket. Hopefully it will be ok for (undervolted) 3060ti...
edit: Works like a charm, no issue what so ever.

It probably will but the PSU will be at high loads if you plan on running heavy tasks often, so it might lower the lifespan even more or kill it. That's my opinion.

The last time I used a wattmeter it was 300W on the wall for a 8700K + 1070 running Witcher 3

 

[poorsod]

So im writing this as a follow up to my original question. My rig has an asus tuf rtx 3070 undervolted without performance loss and a ryzen 5 3600 with an aio id cooling zoomflow 240x running at stock. Today i measured the power draw from the wall during horizon zero dawn and heaven benchmark at all max settings. My psu is the corsair cx550m. The wattmeter shows average around 350 and max at 370w. So after calculating the efficiency, my system is roughly using 280w average during game and 296w on peak. So yeah i guess a quality 550w psu is more than enough for a rtx 3070 and ryzen 5 3600.

 

[Deleted member 205776]

I'm running an RTX 3070 Gaming X Trio and Ryzen 9 3900X (stock) on a 650W 80+ Bronze CX 650 (for now until I get my RM850x on monday).

No issues whatsoever. PSU is dead silent.

Only issue is PSU-generated GPU coil whine which is why I'm switching to an RM850x, not because the CX 650 can't keep up. It sure can. But the coil whine is a bit annoying.

Wow, lots of comments and some very helpful. Can anyone tell me if the EVGA 650 GQ is a regular/good/great PSU (i want to replace the 2060S with a 3060 Ti or should i wait till RTX 4000 series)? Running a 10600K at stock, H100i RGB Pro XT, 4x8GB Kingston Hyperx Predator 2933MHz, RTX 2060 Super, ASUS Z490 Tuf Plus Gaming, M.2 Kingston A2000 250GB + Samsung EVO 860 1TB SSD, ASUS Cerberus Kit (mouse and keyboard), Thermaltake H550 ARGB TG, 3x 120mm fans.

Your psu should be more than enough but i wouldnt upgrade in your case. The 2060s isnt that far off from the 3060 ti in some games. Maybe 3070 is better but at 1080p, i would keep your 2060 super until i see some unplayable framerates in most games.

Thanks for your suggestion. I'm playing everything fine for the moment. It's just the NEED for new things, haha! Cheers!
