What power supply do I need for RX 470 4gb?

AMD Radeon RX 470 – On your average system the card requires you to have a 400 Watt power supply unit as minimum.

Is 450W PSU enough for RX 480?

Reputable. No it won’t. An RX 480 and an i5 system won’t even draw 300w under load, you’ll be perfectly fine.

Does RX 470 need external power?

Does rx470 need 6 pin?

Yes , this is right , use both to fill 8 pin PCIE on card.

What power supply does a RX 480 need?

AMD Radeon RX 480 – On your average system the card requires you to have a 450 Watt power supply unit as minimum.

How much watts does a RX 480 use?

RX 480 power draw is 125 watts max.

Is it possible to run on a 450W power supply?

It is possible to run on 450W, but we begin pushing the continuous load on the PSU to a point of driving up noise levels (from the PSU fan) and abusing the power supply. There’s also insufficient headroom for 100\% GPU / 100\% CPU workloads, but that should be uncommon for most of our audience.

How much power does the rx480 use?

The RX480 will use less than 150 watt, your psu should be sufficient. If you select a 270X (~150W) in the calculator, you end up with ~380 W recommended PSU wattage.

Is the AMD Radeon RX 480 too powerful for gaming?

Power consumption during gaming is significantly lower compared to AMD’s own Radeon RX 480. Still, it’s way too high in multi-monitor setups and during Blu-ray playback, especially when taking into account what’s possible these days. The card never reaches the 150W barrier.

Is 450W PSU enough for a 7700K and GTX 1080?

We wouldn’t recommend a 450W PSU for the 7700K + GTX 1080 combo, but it works for most the other configurations on the bench. Running the higher-end combinations at 100\% GPU / 100\% CPU would strain the PSU in more significant ways, and would be better suited in the ~45-60\% range on the utilization curve. Not many gamers actually do that, though.
