PSU Calculator for Graphics Cards

Work out the power supply wattage your graphics card and CPU need, with safe headroom – or check which GPUs your existing PSU can run.

Graphics card (GPU)

Using GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Windforce OC V2 16GB GDDR7 (reference board power). Pick another GPU to change it.

Power supply you already have (W, optional)

Recommended power supply

700 W

Graphics card300 W
Processor105 W
Board, RAM, drives, fans103 W

Estimated peak draw 508 W, plus 30% headroom for power spikes and ageing, rounded up to the next 50 W.

The card’s brand recommends at least 750 W.

An estimate, not a guarantee. Quality matters as much as wattage: pick a reputable 80 PLUS unit, and for cards with a 16-pin connector an ATX 3.x supply with a native cable.
