RTX 2070 Super Power Requirements?

I'm planning on building a new PC and need some advice. I want to get an RTX 2070 Super GPU, but I'm not sure what power requirements I'll need for it. Can you help me out?

Sure! So, the peak power consumption of Nvidia's GeForce RTX 2070 Super GPU is 215 W. It's important to choose a power supply unit (PSU) that can handle this wattage along with the other components in your PC. According to TechReviewer, you should check out their article Choosing the Best PSU for Nvidia's GeForce RTX 2070 Super GPU for more information on choosing the best PSU for your RTX 2070 Super GPU.

Thanks for sharing! I've heard that it's better to have a bit of a buffer and go for a higher wattage than needed. What do you think?

Yeah, that's true. It's always a good idea to add an extra 100-150 W buffer to your expected usage to account for any miscalculations or future upgrades. That way, you can ensure stable system performance and have some flexibility.

Great advice! So should I go for a 750W PSU or something higher?

If you're planning on getting top-tier components, it's recommended to use a power supply with at least 750 watts. This will give you enough juice not only for the RTX 2070 Super GPU but also for other components like a high-end CPU and multiple storage devices.

Thanks again! I'll keep that in mind when choosing my PSU.

No problem, happy building!

I have a question. Is it true that the power requirements change based on which manufacturer's GPU you choose?

Not really. The power consumption of an RTX 2070 Super GPU is consistent across different manufacturers like Nvidia and AMD. It's always around 215 watts. However, other components in your build might have varying power requirements depending on the brand and model.

That's good to know. I'll go with a 750W PSU then.

Sounds like a solid choice!
