RTX 2060 and 500 Watts PSU

[BLoCKANDLOADED ⭕⃤]

Can RTX 2060 run on 500 Watts PSU Thermaltake?

It can, depending on the rest of the hardware you may still need to upgrade the PSU.

It seems to draw about 190 Watts at maximum, round up to 200 for some safety reserves.

I have a lot of Storage on my System + i5 10400F and a MSI B560M pro 16GB RAM 2666Mhz

Then it can become very problematic under heavy load.

then an RX 6600 or RX 6600XT would be a better upgrade for me ;D

i5 10400F is a low powered locked 65w TDP CPU, it pulls around 100 watts with turbo boost.

500w PSU is more than enough for your PC with RTX 2060 and i5-10400F.

2060 and 6600 XT has basically the same TDP (max power draw) approx 160-200 watts

But a 6600 XT would be better choice. 2060 is way to outdated and the prices now for them are terrible. With 6600 XT you are getting the latest available from AMD, not something old. And the pricing is decent for them right now. Plus 6600 XT is right around 3060 performance at 1080p and 1440p so not a bad buy at all.

What model of PSU though? If it's like a TR2 500W, that needs to go in the trash

The rtx 2060 is a poor value right now. The price jumped big-time. I paid $219 plus tax on a back to school sale on EVGA webpage this summer. Now that same GPU is $420!

[まりさ]

Go for RX 6600 or RX 6600 XT. Better pricing for performance.

[GOD RAYS ON ULTRA™]

There's a 2060 super on newegg right now for $199 new.

51risc variant. Not bad.

6600 XT is in the sub-$300 range and smokes any 2060 out there. Don't bother looking at a 2060.

i say...buy it, if you didnt buy it, yet. thermaltake is alright and 500 should be enough.
