used to run a gtx 1080 I believe it was the 1080 XLR8 by PNY. Anyhow I sold it and currently have no graphics card was interested in either buying another 1080 or possibly a rtx 2070. Problem is my psu is a rosewill 530w "green series" 80 plus bronze single 12v rail. the XLr8 had a max power draw of 175 and so does a 2070 REFERENCE (i.e core clock 1620) So I thought I could run the 2070 same as my pny xlr8. But it says the psu req is 550w so it has me a bit concerned, so my question is can I run a 2070 reference spec with this PSU? My cpu is a i7 3770k (not overclocked). p8-vlk z77 motherboard.Also worth noting the xlr8 psu req is 500w even though it has only 1 8pin connector and same power draw as a newer 2070, so can I run it or am i missing something that is required besides wattage. Pc part picker says I can when I add everything I use but im still concerned any further insights would be appreciated.
