Is the EVGA 650W Gold PSU sufficient for a 3070 Ti processor?
Is the EVGA 650W Gold PSU sufficient for a 3070 Ti processor?
I recently upgraded my GPU from a 1080ti to a 3070ti. When considering this change, remember to ask before proceeding. The 650w gold PSU you mentioned is from EVGA, and the gold rating indicates its 80+ efficiency. Could you tell me how old this PSU is? Because of sudden load spikes, I recommend using an 850W unit for your entire build.
it would assist to identify the exact model of your PSU.
evga offers a broad selection, from top-tier to quite average units.
as previously mentioned, upgrading from 1080Ti to 3070Ti wasn’t the most sensible choice.
you’ve reduced your VRAM from 11GB to 8GB while only seeing about a 30% improvement in raw performance.
in general, a 650W evga unit should manage this situation.
however, it isn’t ideal for everyday use or long-term needs.
Similar to a year or two, I connected my 3070ti and noticed occasional blue screens while gaming. With the graphics card on, the system never overheated and didn’t draw too much power. I wonder if adding a voltage regulator after the burner would help.
if that's the situation then it is a strong unit built by FSP using Japanese capacitors rated at 105°C, which contributes to its durability. You can clearly see the label by taking off a side panel on your case. The GQ should work well with your system without any problems, though you might want to think about swapping it for a new 850W unit in the near future.
