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.)

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

      That’s how it used to work, but modern GPUs pretty much auto-overclock based on their assigned power target. Undervolting traditionally would mean less power at the same clock. But modern GPUs would just see more power available in the budget to boost clocks further instead. At least in most cases. If you go extreme enough on the undervolting it may hit a point where it won’t boost clocks anymore and actually start reducing power consumption.
