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.)
Consider undervolting cpu and gpu and you will be able to get away with a leaner psu. I always do this and there really is no downside if you overclock the gpu a little to compensate for the undervolting. Your system will run cooler as well often stopping cpu/gpu from throttling down, so with a bit of luck you can even gain performance while saving on power. It depends on the cpu/gpu combo, but you can expect to save around 50 Watts under full load with both components properly undervoltet.
Here’s a very good guide for undervolting your gpu under windows, it’s meant for nvidia gpus but the process is very similar with amd gpu’s and/or under linux.

Overclocking usually requires overvolting to keep things working. Underclocking though, is a good way to gain stability.
