550w vs RTX 2070

afrasiabhimaloy · Aug 20, 2018

I was planning to wait for next gen nvidia gpu. After confirmed specification of RTX family, 2070 version comes with TDP of almost 185W. I have a 550W 80+ bronze category psu. Now im in confusion whether to upgrade the psu to 650W or not! Here's my spec:
1. i5 8600k 4.7GHz
2. Gskill Trident Z 8GBx2 3200MHz
3. Gskill Ripjaws S3 120GB NVME SSD
4. Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200rpm
5. 5x 120mm fans
please help me with practical answer. is it okay if i run 2070 with some overclocks on a 550W psu? or is it safer if i get a 650W psu?

what PSU model is it? Bronze is only efficiency, not quality or capability. If it is good quality, 550 is fine.

afrasiabhimaloy :

A 650w or even 700w would be the safer option if you plan on OC'ing, remember that the numbers touted at the moment have not been verified by any independent testers.

decent quality but not very good, I will say still fine for 2070 but I will go easy on overclocking and try to upgrade psu soon.
