Hello, technologically minded peoples, I have a question for you.
I would like to know what is the real consumption of a GeForce RTX 5060 Ti and what’s the real minimum power supply required to feed one the needed juice.
I ask to know if my father also needs to change is current power supply or not. (For the graphic card itself, he doesn’t have a choice but to replace it, since his curent one died.)
the mininum is dictated by the rest of the components and decision to limit future upgrades down the line.
after you are aware of what cpu you are using
amd and intel sub 250 cpus usually 150w or less
amd high end and alderlake(12gen, and arrowlake), peaks at 250w
intel raptor lake (13-14th gen) 300w
hedt cpus like threadripper fall under a similar class.
peak 5060ti is just under 200w alone.
add an arbitrary 50w to cover rest of components.
