Hello, technologically minded peoples, I have a question for you.
I would like to know what is the real consumption of a GeForce RTX 5060 Ti and what’s the real minimum power supply required to feed one the needed juice.
I ask to know if my father also needs to change is current power supply or not. (For the graphic card itself, he doesn’t have a choice but to replace it, since his curent one died.)
Depends on your CPU and whatever else you have in your PC (e.g. is your cooler a beast too? Do you have six spinning disks? etc).
Generally speaking, 750W should be fine if you’re using a boring air cooling setup with an SSD or two.
absolutely. some cpu can draw more than the 180 watts of a 5060ti, even without actual ‘overclocking’, all by themselves when boosting their own clock (such as intel’s “turbo power”). even a ‘65 watt’ ultra 7 265 can get up to that.
Crazy. My 1070 was way overpowered with 500W. And even my 7800XT runs fine with it…
@riskable@programming.dev First, thanks for your help.
The cooling system is a Noctua with two fans. (Don’t remember the exact name right now.) For the storage, he only have one SSD & one HDD, but he also have a DVD drive. As for the CPU, his PC starting to be a bit old, he is thinking of also changing it, (which mean changing the motherboard too) but depending on the cost, he might do that latter.
