r00t wrote Good power supplies can handle transient loads (spikes) beyond their rating.

Good power supplies will also not damage anything if you draw too much and cause them to shut off.

What model power supply do you have? You should only upgrade if it's a BAD 750w.

Does that mean I can use a 6950xt or maybe a 7800xt with my current parts?

Curious. Why not replace it? It's a good PSU for sure.
Let me spend X on a good GPU and Not on a PSU until I possibly start getting crashes?
I'm curious now.
Seems like the focus is just on GPU wattage and now what the guys full spec computer is. ?

EDIT: I'd like to know what you know. I work in this field and we've always went with recommended or a little ahead depending on the rest of the specs of the pc are.

You're fine up to a 4090. You can always upgrade the PSU if you have power issues.

He has an i5, so not much demand from the CPU.

The 12V rail's OCP activation at 134%

The RM 750e can easily handle the transient loads of high-end cards. Sustained load won't be anywhere near 750w.

If there were power related crashes, you could lower the card's power target and/or buy a new PSU.


I use an SF750 power supply with a 4090 FE and 7800X3D. The card's power target is maxed and the CPU has PBO on. People are way too nervous about power supplies.
