Question about ASUS GeForce ROG STRIX GTX 1070 Ti 8G GAMING
Min. recommended system poweri 500 W I currently have a 430W power supply inside and according to the online power supply calculator it should easily be enough, now I'm a bit unsure if that's still ok?
It depends on the quality of the power supply. A 430Watt brand-name power supply will do, but if it's a cheap Chinese firecracker, you risk not only the power supply, but possibly your other components as well if it blows up.
Hello, in my opinion it's not enough. If you only use it for office applications, then yes, (but it's a shame to pay so much money for a graphics card) but if you want to use it for gaming, the real top games, then you need 500W for the graphics card alone! You still have a board in your PC, which needs power (depending on the board up to 100W loose) div fans that need power, processor that also wants power and so on. You can try it out, but I think depending on the power supply, the graphics card may not even start and if it needs power and doesn't get any, you just have a black screen...
For 165.-- you would already have a top power supply from CrossAir with 850W! Which would certainly be enough for a start.
It should be enough, but if you then buy a second graphics card, you will need a bit more power supply. In my opinion, because I also have a little more power than I actually need, but I will buy a second graphics card later and need it.
