I'm checking if my PSU can support the RTX 3060 Ti, as my recommended power rating is 490 watts. I'm also wondering if this information is correct on the site you're referring to.

Ensure all system details are provided so accurate guidance can be given. Your power supply is limited to 480W on the 12V rail, which may vary based on other components in the setup.

So long as there isn't overclocking involved and you don't have a bunch of hard drives or something I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work.

The NVidia website suggests a 600W power supply for the 3060 Ti, though they might think you'll be using a newer CPU with a higher TDP during overclocking. The 3060 Ti needs about 200W at full speed, while the 2600X has a 95W TDP, bringing the total to around 350W. As long as you don’t overwork the system, the Seasonic should handle it. If not, adjust accordingly.

It's an extremely old PSU. I plan to replace it soon.

The old group managed a PSU that lacked necessary protection features. It is not advised for use with modern GPUs.

This is bad advice there is no reason to arbitrarily replace a decent power supply just because it's old.
Like what? It adheres to ATX v2.3 which was the last significant update to ATX prior to 3.0. Barring this person coming up with something real this is also bad advice.

ATX2.3 is a standard from more than fifteen years ago that demands equal power distribution between 5v and 12v. ATX2.4 builds upon this by needing DC-DC conversion on the smaller rails to handle C6/C7 states, while maintaining zero current at both 5v and 12v.

None of these affects operating the GPU with this PSU.
