Crazy. My 1070 was way overpowered with 500W. And even my 7800XT runs fine with it…
Comment on What's the REAL minimum power supply needed for a RTX 5060 Ti?

Depends on your CPU and whatever else you have in your PC (e.g. is your cooler a beast too? Do you have six spinning disks? etc).
Generally speaking, 750W should be fine if you’re using a boring air cooling setup with an SSD or two.

The power supply is only going to output what it needs, nothing more. The wattage is a max rating. Oversizing will never harm anything

Ofc, but OP asked for the bare minimum possible.

absolutely. some cpu can draw more than the 180 watts of a 5060ti, even without actual ‘overclocking’, all by themselves when boosting their own clock (such as intel’s “turbo power”). even a ‘65 watt’ ultra 7 265 can get up to that.
