should a 650 watts psu be good enough for a 6700XT?

[Kumoko]

i have a R7 3700X along with 16 3k ram according to 6700xt it needs a minimum of 650 while i have a 2070 S it seems fine no problems i hvent tried OC my card but considering i run it stock will be enough and maybe a bit of oc

[_I_]

should, yes

but quality/brand over labeled wattage

It should but look for gold certified and above.

A 650w PSU will be more then enough for any single GPU system.

Well... Not ANY, but anything upto high mid range, sure, but a top tier cpu and gpu will be tight.

But op. I don't t think swapping from a 2070s to a 6700xt is a good move, it's more of a very expensive side grade right now than a proper upgrade.

Edit.
Missed a letter which changed what I was writing (do t instead of don't).

that really is dependant my dad bought a 3 fan gpu and his case is only a mid tower which worries me lol so we may have to swap but hey i wish it didnt coz i think 6700XT is slightly powerfull then the 2070S XD

even those can be faked

80+ has actual rating and testing
85+ is not a thing at all

Completely wrong.

Really? Try sticking an RTX 3090 and I dare you to say that again!

A 650W PSU, and a good one at that, is good for any mid range cards in a system like that. But, I prefer to always go for more, as Jaytwocents had said (at least, I think it was him), always go for more than the bare minimum of what you need.

In such a case, I'd go for a 750W PSU (a good one). But seeing that the OP already has a 650W PSU (I hope it's rated as 'Gold' and from a good/respectable PSU brand, and hopefully, not that old), he should be okay with that PSU.

its not gold but mine is only 3 years old and tier B ill probably keep it at stock to be safe

Kumpko you'll be fine on your system, we were just correcting the mistake if 650w is enough for anything (others could see the post and make a choice based on that), it's only the top dnd that you'll need more.

If you buy a power meter plug and run your pc through it, you'll likely be in the 400-450w range ish so your 650w will be fine.

Absolutely mate I know because that's exactly what I am using with my 6700xt a 3700x and two ssd's

If this is to me, woohoo go go my power usage estimating skills! Hehe

I got a 750W psu and i'm only running a 2060 super, a ryzen 9, 32 gb ram and 11 total of hdd's sdd's and nvme m.2. And 750 watts is way to much for all of them. Thinking about getting a 500 or 600 to replace the 750.

higher wattage is actually good

better to have the psu never reach full load than be maxed all the time
they are much more efficient around 30-60% than at 80-100%

A 650 watt PSU will be perfect and provide enough headroom..

A consumer-grade CPU combined with even a 3090 will pull ~500 watt at most.

And I wouldn't even consider the 3090 a consumer-grade GPU. It's a Titan with the Geforce name stamped on it.
