Hi everyone,

I have an Nvidia GTX 1050 TI SSC ACX 3.0 installed in my Dell XPS 8910. I chose this card because it didn't require a lot of power.

When idle the power consumption is at 47%. At a games load screen (player unknowns battlegrounds), power consumption is at 70% and when i play it gets up to around 97%.

Are these readings normal? I believe my current PSU is 450 watts.

Would purchasing an 850 watt PSU reduce these numbers?

Would upgrading my motherboard help?
 
Solution
The GPU's power percentage only represents how much power the GPU is using out of its VRM's rated output. The 1050Ti is designed to use only ~75% so 100% GPU power usage means ~75W. It has nothing to do with the PSU's output ratings.
