Thanks for the video. I'm running a Ryzen 5600x, OC 6800XT, 1 SSD, 2x8 ram, 3 screens, * a rog strix 650 gold PSU. Never had an issue here, even at ultra/high settings. Based on some tests I've run, im pulling around 500-550. Still around 100 less than the 650 cap.
if you see this how is it now? is ur 650w still enough? because i have a gold 700w and i want to know if thats good and if your still works then i think im good
Been using an older Corsair TX650 PSU with a AMD Reference 6900XT / Intel 9700K both overclocked (plus the system ram is overclocked and overvolted) with absolutely no issues. I'm sure I'm really close to the line but it's been cranking along just fine.
Awesome!, i just ordered a 6900XT and was worried I'd also have to upgrade power supply. I currently have a 750W EVGA Supernova 80+ Gold, I think I'll be okay with that.
I have a PowerColor 6900XT OC. It is recommended to use 900w or above. The card also has three 8 pin PCIE connections . I had an 850W PSU semi modular and had to change out for a modular PSU at 1000w as I didn't have three 8 pin pcie connections. Using two cables (With the second cable daisy chained to use 2 slots on the GPU) didn't give the GPU enough power and the fans wouldn't spin under load.
You've earned a sub my good man! My build is an Asrock z490 Phantom Gaming itx/tb3, i5-10600k (stock), 32GB ram (XMP enabled), 6900xt (Sapphire FE version - stock) with a Corsair SF750 Platinum. I've been running Cyberpunk 2077 at 4k max settings for several hours over 2 weeks and haven't had any issues. For my own calculations, assuming maximum load for all components (worst case scenario), I am at roughly 69% capacity of my PSU. I also included CPU overclock using boost clock - 85%, and GPU overclock only - 75%. I feel a bit more comfortable with my psu after watching your video. Thank you. EDIT: For others here, the GPU OC only is not beneficial since the i5 10600k will only bottleneck it more - it would make more sense to OC the CPU. Also, keep in mind that the scenario above is worst case, so the actual used PSU capacity will be slightly lower. Also, improving air flow or cooling in your system will reduce power consumption, since the by product of power used in components is heat. So many factors and variables - you'll go crazy trying to figure it all out - I'm an electrical/power engineer, i.e., approximate it and you'll be ok.
I got a high quality name brand power supply this black friday at a very good deal, a 850w gold, with my new pc build. Even with my 6800 xt I would have no problem getting a 650 w PS even with all my fans and accessories. I do not think he went over the s/s of a low power supply, which is random program crashes, unexpected shutdown & restart, system freezes, video errors, complete shutdown, and the blue screen. Also running a suite of tests after your new build, lets you stretch its legs and determine what your power needs will be. Knowing these symptoms, will help prevent you from causing harm to your components.
Hi!!! here from Argentina :) So, for my new Rx 6800 I must say good bye to my 500watts power supply :( I used the Calculator, and with my Ryzen 3 3300x + Rx 6800 the Recommended PSU Wattage is 438 W. What do you think? do I still need to change it? Thanks!!!

i got a 850 watt power supply its titanium, if you guys have 650 or 750 just undervolt your 6000 series card you will keep performance or if not increase performance, i got 2550 mhz at 1070 mv playing every game no problem even brought the temps down a ton compared to stock. and memory is at 2100 MHz with fast timings and highest i saw was 270 watts pulled while gaming. just keep power limit at 0 or if not go lower -10 or so and still will get great perfomance and temps will be happy. so you can run a 6900 xt on a 650 watt power supply if you undervolt . should hold you over till you can upgrade your power supply
Good point about undervolting! In my tests, I was able to lower the wattage of my 6800xt noticeably through undervolting which could be the difference maker between getting a new PSU or keeping an old one.
I run a Seasonic 750w titanium with my rig using a 5800x and the 6800xt. I have a wattage checker on my outlet, and even at 15% over max power usage through the Radeon software, my rig max pulls 545 watts.

Thanks for this. I have the same PS, with a basic AMD R5 3600 build. I'm upgrading to the 5800x and thinking about buying a 6800 XT, so that's good info.
iam looking for answer here: even tho current gpus have lets say a tdp of 250, many people recommand higher psus.. currently, iam running a 650w psu, with a 8700f and a gtx 1080 under full load, the system takes 385 watts. upgrading from a 180watt to a 250 watt card should be cool then? well people say no, because these 250 watt cards, can have spikes of 450 watts, shutting down the pc.. the question is: if i undervolt a 250watt card to 190 watt, will that power spike still be a problem? i mean, it cant be "ok, thats the way it is nowadays, live with it" to get psu with 300 watt headroom, just because cards with 250 watt tdp, can draw 450 watts for a fraction of a second. thats eighter bad or lazy design or a new normal, that should be shunned instead of just taken as normal. still think its crazy where modern cpus and gpu are with power consumption. i went from a gtx 680 to a gtx 1080. the 1080, needs 15 watts less then the 680 but has double the peformance. to get double the performance, i now have to add 70 watts. this might not bother when you have cheap electricity where you live or you dont game that much. but iam paying 39 cents per kwh nowadays with ~40 hours of gaming a week
Why is adding another screen relevant? I'd guess that a HDMI feed uses a completely negligible amount of power Edit: I guess it would increase GPU load, but if were calculating these power draw values assuming that every component is under load at 100% utilization I still dont really see how that's relevant. Am I missing something?
I just picked up a 6900 XT Red Devil yesterday and I currently have a 850 watt Platinum power supply. But when I check the manufacturer's recommendation it looked like for that car they wanted 900-watt so I was thinking about upgrading to a thousand watt so I can overclock in the future. Do you think I should spend the extra and upgrade?
i have a 6800xt and 5600x in a mini itx case with a 650w gold rated sfx evga so far so good no oc whatsoever 32gbs ram 2 120mm case fabs and a 120mm aio
I just recently purchased the 6900 XT Red Devil, my question is if my Corsair 750w power supply would handle it. I don’t run a lot of crazy stuff I have an x570 board with a Ryzen 7 3700x processor and 16gb of ram. Is 750 enough ?
I have a 6800 XT (The model of mine is the reference) and a 650 W plus bronze power supply. Should I worry? I don't have the resources to switch fonts right now. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching! I would say you are probably okay with a 650 W bronze if you are running a quad-core CPU and only plan on gaming and doing normal work on your computer. For reference, I have a 3950X CPU (16 cores/32 threads) and the reference 6800 XT (both stock speeds) - If I run a CPU & GPU stress test at the same time I can hit 675 watts at the wall measured with a meter but this is NOT likely to happen in the real world.. With the Heaven GPU benchmark running I hit 500 watts which is way more realistic and if you have a lower-core CPU then you should be well under 500 watts. In general, try not to exceed 80% of your PSU's rated capacity - in your case 520 watts at the wall. Hopefully that helps!
The calculator says 486 watts load at stock settings and recommends 536 so you should be good in good shape with the 650 W PSU in almost every situation, especially if you aren't overclocking. One thing to note about your PSU is to check how much wattage it delivers on the 12V rail. Usually, this number will be a little less than the 'advertised wattage' (in this case 650 W) so as long as it isn't too far off then you should be good!
Well, I'm more of a guy who overclocks and undervolts at the same time. I have with my RX 5700 (BIOS flashed) at 2030mhz just under 150W of power. According to my socket, my whole system (so only my PC) consumes a maximum of 370W of power under load with Prime95 and MSI Kombuster. I have a Ryzen 5 2600 @4.2Ghz. I have a 600W power supply. If I now buy a more efficient Ryzen 5 6000X or 7000X (depending on what comes out) and a RX6800 and I do the same as with my current PC, that should actually work well.... Oh, my CPU consumes under full load just under 140W...
650W Gold, wanting 6800xt with my i7 7700K, currently have gtx 1080 overclocked quite a bit, not used to AMD power draws, what you think? I know the "recommended" says 750W..
Compared to the 6800 XT it looks like the 1080 pulls up to 100 watts less. Overclocking probably brings that number closer to the 6800 xt but you are still close to the line there. My hunch is that your system will run fine but you might run into issues during heavy loads or if you try to overclock.
AMD says my 5700 non xt needs a 600 watt psu minimum but im running 5 hard drives and a ryzen 5 5600g and im using a 500 watt psu just fine. I have been using it for years even with my previous ryzen 7 1700x.
I with you on just getting something bigger that you won't have to worry about personally but many people are on a budget for a new PSU or want to try to use an old one with the new card. Just want to give everyone as much information possible when making their decision!
So if i save enough money, id like to get 6800xt and 10700f. I have corsair cx750m so 750w 80+ bronze psu. Should I get better psu or am i good to go(Btw it Will be 3 yrs old psu when i upgrade, and it has 5yrs warranty. )? I plan to game only(1440p or 1080p @144hz) , and myb gpu oc if i really need extra fps. Tnx for answer.
I need some help here I keep getting spikes no clue how to set up my cpu and gpu or if my power supply is the problem. PC shuts down during start up and goes back down to factory default. Could use some help please.
I just upgraded to a 3950X with a 1060 on a 500W and I get a milisecond of lights and nothing afterwards. not even the light on the start button on the tower is lit when turning the PSU on, lol. so close. plus I think I have a faulty PSU although it did last me 4yrs
That's not a large PSU but it surprises me that it wouldn't even boot. Unless you have crazy stuff in the system, the power draw should still be closer to 400 watts under load.
My Suggestion: Get a power supply that's twice (2x) as strong as your calculated wattage. The calculator said I was using 455w and I still managed to overload my 6mo old gold-rated 650w PS and cause several shutdowns. I run an RX 6800 gpu with 5600X cpu & 32 gb Ram with 3 SSDs and I game @ 1440p with my gpu-synced 165hz monitor with browsers and other apps often open in the background. I decided to upgrade to 850w just to be safe. Now, no more problems.
I think this setup will work. I would be sure to put it through a few stress tests though to test even if you don't usually push the computer very hard.
Got 5600x on b450 itx board 6800 and 600w antec psu, normal usage is fine, but under load for AAA games it will crash out of the game, such as total war, monster hunter, witcher.....
600 watts is right on the line as I've recommended a 650 watt in the video for that card. If you don't want to upgrade your PSU you could try to undervolt the card through the Radeon software or other 'overclocking' software. I've found that the card does really well with undervolting, especially if you don't try to overclock it at the same time, and you might could lower the power consumption enough to create stability. I don't have a guide for this process myself (yet) but it should be easy to find a guide for undervolting the 6800 in the meantime. Also, be sure that BIOS, chipset, and all drivers are competely up to date as using the 5600x on a b450 board might still be working out kinks with power management.
I recently bought a 6900 XT and it has 3 8 pin ports for power. My power supply doesn't seem to have more then two 8 pin cables. Does anyone have a recommendation for a power supply?
I wanna buy a 6800XT and i only have a be quiet! PURE POWER 600W. Now im wondering if thats enough for gaming on WQHD. On the other hand im wondering what happens when you dont have enough Watt?
@@sedraniM yeah i feel that its like that in the us too i was gonna buy one but canceled my order because i have more important things to worry about than paying the price of 2 cards for one
@@GodisGood941 I kinda switched to indie titles with no need of a good cpu and i dont miss the triple A titles at all. So not upgrading until a real good deal comes around
That set up should work fine and should have room for a little overclock but as the other commenter mentioned it might be worth focusing on an undervolt for your 6900xt rather than going for max power.
Hi sir can i ask you some question and hope you can answer this. I have pc and im using proci ryzen 5 3600 ram 32gb 3200mhz my motherboard is b450 gaming pro m.2 256 my hdd 1tb toshiba my gpu is msi rx 6700xt mech my psu is seasonic 620 full modular +80 bronze is that enough my psu sir?
If you aren't planning on doing any overclocking then you should be good. I would hit it with a systemwide stress test once you get the build together just to be sure. I've heard of the red devil 6900xt in particular spiking higher than normal compared to it's stated power draw.
I just boughed the 6900xt and i have only a 650W PSU...but this Psu is Just over a month old...if i undervolt it und play my games not in ultra settings plus with locked FPS it should work right? (Sry my english)
Depending on the rest of your system, maybe. I would run a few stress tests to see what happens just so you will know for sure. Make sure windows, bios, and chipset are all updated as well. If it is crashing during stress tests I would look into returning that new psu and getting a new one if you could.
Hey, I am thinking to get 6900xt red devil and they recomment 900w psu minimun but I got corsair rm850x watt gold psu.... Do you think is ok or get a 1000w psu?
I think you will be okay with the 850. Although the red devil has 3 8-pin power connectors I can't imagine it would actually pull all 480 watts. I figure 400 absolute max wattage on the card compared to the 350 I mentioned in the video so 850 is still enough. If you are planning on doing a lot of overclocking you could run into issues but I think 850 will handle it. Worst case scenario you have to upgrade the psu after you get the card but I doubt it.
I have this card with an 850 watt Gold and have a heavy OC on it. Even undervolted, I get random shutdowns during gameplay. I've heard that there are random power spiking issues currently. I am going to pick up a 1000 watt or 1200 watt gold or higher just to be safe.
Thanks for your comment! I wonder if this is a driver issue and whether or not keeping the power percentage slider at 100% instead of increasing it would solve it in the short term. How many watts does the software say your card pulls under load?
Wow then it is way under the requirements. It's has to be a spiking issue - hopefully resolved with drivers. Do you have your bios and chipset up to date?
I'm not completely sure as I've never used an UPS but my understanding it that it is meant to be able to replace the power output of the wall outlet when the power goes out. The unit should have some kind of rated power supply output so I would check there first. Basically, check to make sure it can put out 650 watts.
Ideally, you want the PSU to be at half load. That's like most things in life really. So, if it says 500w load in the calculator. You'll want a 1000w PSU. But, a 800 watt will do just fine. Maybe even a 700w, the closer you get to the load the harder it is on the PSU and less efficient.
itll run as long as its gold rated and even if its bronze youll be good but i recommend upgrading the psu just in case the gpu spikes and u can always undervolt or lock ur frames so u dont use as much power
I have an R7 5700 x and an RX 6800, 550W bronze. The GPU will arrive today so I'm putting it together this weekend but it should run fine with 16Gb 3200 and 2 nvme ssds i guess. If not, I will let you know. =)
You're going to be right on the line with the 750 but it _should_ be okay. If you do any overclocking or extremely heavy loads then you might run into trouble. I've heard that the 6900 xt has some issues with power spiking.
@@heygeek3816 Actually , I use 700W 80 Bronze PSU . When I get auto-overclock on GPU & CPU , I don't run into trouble yet . But , I'll buy Cooler Master Full Modular 850 Gold PSU
That's a little low for my comfort level but it might work fine with the 6800 depending on other hardware. Run your system through the calculator I linked to.
Hey man how did it went if you don't mind sharing. I have just ordered 6900xt and i have 650 psu with ryzen 5600 and i was thinking about undervolting 6900xt until i get better psu. So is everything working fine or you had problems with it.
i just got a 6800xt and i am planning to put it in an egpu with a 450 power supply. Seeing as how it will just be in an enclosure by it self and not in an actual desktop. Will i still need a larger power supply.
I'm not familiar with egpu setups but if it only has to power the card itself then you can just go by the specs listed by the manufacturer. I would imagine 450 watts is plenty.

Why is adding another screen relevant? I'd guess that a HDMI feed uses a completely negligible amount of power
Edit: I guess it would increase GPU load, but if were calculating these power draw values assuming that every component is under load at 100% utilization I still dont really see how that's relevant. Am I missing something?
Outer Vision says I need 486 Watts of power for a i7-9700k, 16gb ram and RX 6800. Is this accurate ? Or should I upgrade from my 600 Watt PSU ?
I just picked up a 6900 XT Red Devil yesterday and I currently have a 850 watt Platinum power supply. But when I check the manufacturer's recommendation it looked like for that car they wanted 900-watt so I was thinking about upgrading to a thousand watt so I can overclock in the future. Do you think I should spend the extra and upgrade?
I got a 850 Corsair plat with the ASRock 6900xt oc formula , they recommend a 1000 Watt , the psu runs quiet and smooth , GPU is overclock also
i have a 6800xt and 5600x in a mini itx case with a 650w gold rated sfx evga so far so good no oc whatsoever 32gbs ram 2 120mm case fabs and a 120mm aio
I just recently purchased the 6900 XT Red Devil, my question is if my Corsair 750w power supply would handle it. I don’t run a lot of crazy stuff I have an x570 board with a Ryzen 7 3700x processor and 16gb of ram. Is 750 enough ?
It should be enough!
It runs fine with 750w?
And so.. gpu run on 750w? I have the same PSU and want buy this card
Rx 6800 i5 10400 f with corsair cx550m
Can run good? Please some advice
I have a 6800 XT (The model of mine is the reference) and a 650 W plus bronze power supply. Should I worry? I don't have the resources to switch fonts right now.
Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching! I would say you are probably okay with a 650 W bronze if you are running a quad-core CPU and only plan on gaming and doing normal work on your computer. For reference, I have a 3950X CPU (16 cores/32 threads) and the reference 6800 XT (both stock speeds) - If I run a CPU & GPU stress test at the same time I can hit 675 watts at the wall measured with a meter but this is NOT likely to happen in the real world.. With the Heaven GPU benchmark running I hit 500 watts which is way more realistic and if you have a lower-core CPU then you should be well under 500 watts. In general, try not to exceed 80% of your PSU's rated capacity - in your case 520 watts at the wall.
Hopefully that helps!
@@heygeek3816 I have here, i7 8700k, 16 Gb ram, RX 6800 XT, watercooler 240mm and 3 fan, only this.
The calculator says 486 watts load at stock settings and recommends 536 so you should be good in good shape with the 650 W PSU in almost every situation, especially if you aren't overclocking. One thing to note about your PSU is to check how much wattage it delivers on the 12V rail. Usually, this number will be a little less than the 'advertised wattage' (in this case 650 W) so as long as it isn't too far off then you should be good!
@@heygeek3816 Thank you very much. I don`t have overclock, i use i7 in stock. My Power Supply is Corsair CX650.

(Currently It is under warranty & most silent )
I have a Ryzen 9 x5950 and a RX 6700 XT, i bought a 6900 XT and i have a 800w psu, what about that??
Well, I'm more of a guy who overclocks and undervolts at the same time. I have with my RX 5700 (BIOS flashed) at 2030mhz just under 150W of power. According to my socket, my whole system (so only my PC) consumes a maximum of 370W of power under load with Prime95 and MSI Kombuster. I have a Ryzen 5 2600 @4.2Ghz.
I have a 600W power supply. If I now buy a more efficient Ryzen 5 6000X or 7000X (depending on what comes out) and a RX6800 and I do the same as with my current PC, that should actually work well.... Oh, my CPU consumes under full load just under 140W...
650W Gold, wanting 6800xt with my i7 7700K, currently have gtx 1080 overclocked quite a bit, not used to AMD power draws, what you think? I know the "recommended" says 750W..
Compared to the 6800 XT it looks like the 1080 pulls up to 100 watts less. Overclocking probably brings that number closer to the 6800 xt but you are still close to the line there. My hunch is that your system will run fine but you might run into issues during heavy loads or if you try to overclock.
Hello there! Such a great video 👍 but I have a question. Would it be ok to run RX6700 XT on 600w power supply?
I would really appreciate your answer
Im here for the same question
If you can run a 6800XT either 650W psu, you can definitely run a 6700XT with a 600W psu
AMD says my 5700 non xt needs a 600 watt psu minimum but im running 5 hard drives and a ryzen 5 5600g and im using a 500 watt psu just fine. I have been using it for years even with my previous ryzen 7 1700x.

My Suggestion: Get a power supply that's twice (2x) as strong as your calculated wattage. The calculator said I was using 455w and I still managed to overload my 6mo old gold-rated 650w PS and cause several shutdowns.
I run an RX 6800 gpu with 5600X cpu & 32 gb Ram with 3 SSDs and I game @ 1440p with my gpu-synced 165hz monitor with browsers and other apps often open in the background.
I decided to upgrade to 850w just to be safe. Now, no more problems.

I think this setup will work. I would be sure to put it through a few stress tests though to test even if you don't usually push the computer very hard.
I can see your cam not charts.....
Got 5600x on b450 itx board 6800 and 600w antec psu, normal usage is fine, but under load for AAA games it will crash out of the game, such as total war, monster hunter, witcher.....
600 watts is right on the line as I've recommended a 650 watt in the video for that card. If you don't want to upgrade your PSU you could try to undervolt the card through the Radeon software or other 'overclocking' software. I've found that the card does really well with undervolting, especially if you don't try to overclock it at the same time, and you might could lower the power consumption enough to create stability. I don't have a guide for this process myself (yet) but it should be easy to find a guide for undervolting the 6800 in the meantime. Also, be sure that BIOS, chipset, and all drivers are competely up to date as using the 5600x on a b450 board might still be working out kinks with power management.

That set up should work fine and should have room for a little overclock but as the other commenter mentioned it might be worth focusing on an undervolt for your 6900xt rather than going for max power.

Depending on the rest of your system, maybe. I would run a few stress tests to see what happens just so you will know for sure. Make sure windows, bios, and chipset are all updated as well. If it is crashing during stress tests I would look into returning that new psu and getting a new one if you could.

Hey,
I am thinking to get 6900xt red devil and they recomment 900w psu minimun but I got corsair rm850x watt gold psu.... Do you think is ok or get a 1000w psu?
I think you will be okay with the 850. Although the red devil has 3 8-pin power connectors I can't imagine it would actually pull all 480 watts. I figure 400 absolute max wattage on the card compared to the 350 I mentioned in the video so 850 is still enough. If you are planning on doing a lot of overclocking you could run into issues but I think 850 will handle it. Worst case scenario you have to upgrade the psu after you get the card but I doubt it.
I have this card with an 850 watt Gold and have a heavy OC on it. Even undervolted, I get random shutdowns during gameplay. I've heard that there are random power spiking issues currently. I am going to pick up a 1000 watt or 1200 watt gold or higher just to be safe.
Thanks for your comment! I wonder if this is a driver issue and whether or not keeping the power percentage slider at 100% instead of increasing it would solve it in the short term. How many watts does the software say your card pulls under load?
@@heygeek3816 Only around 300 watts with the power limit all the way maxed lmao
Wow then it is way under the requirements. It's has to be a spiking issue - hopefully resolved with drivers. Do you have your bios and chipset up to date?

What if ryzen 7 3700x and bq sp11 650 Watts Platinum ?
I think that would be fine - be sure to run a stress test or two to be sure.
what happens if i also use a ups? in addition to a 650 watt psu
I'm not completely sure as I've never used an UPS but my understanding it that it is meant to be able to replace the power output of the wall outlet when the power goes out. The unit should have some kind of rated power supply output so I would check there first. Basically, check to make sure it can put out 650 watts.
Ideally, you want the PSU to be at half load. That's like most things in life really. So, if it says 500w load in the calculator. You'll want a 1000w PSU. But, a 800 watt will do just fine. Maybe even a 700w, the closer you get to the load the harder it is on the PSU and less efficient.
Lmao all the comments asking if their psu is enough, seriously humans are doomed 😂💀 bro use the calc and add 50-100

itll run as long as its gold rated and even if its bronze youll be good but i recommend upgrading the psu just in case the gpu spikes and u can always undervolt or lock ur frames so u dont use as much power
