NVIDIA, and other GPU manufacturers, keep two points in mind when recommending power supply sizes.
1. The rest of the system may be power hungry.
2. The power supply may be low quality, that can not deliver their rated wattage.

That said, wattage isn’t the only thing a power supply is good for. It’s quality is very important in any system.
Which specific power supply is it?

In theory, yes. But there are a few PSUs out there that put out WAY less on the 12V rail than their total power rating is.
