Question about ASUS ROG STRIX GeForce RTX 4070 Ti OC EDITION

Hi Anonymous

Short answer: 99% of the time it will work fine with your power supply and cable.

Long answer: The manufacturers play it safe and always tend to specify too many watts that the power supply should have. It also depends on what you have or don't have in your PC, so they have to play it safe. If I assume you have 1 CPU and 1 graphics card and maybe a sound card, some RGB lights, RAM and 1-2 SSDs, then the consumption of everything that is not CPU/GraKa will be about 30-50 watts maximum. I.e. CPU+GraKa determine most of the power consumption. The 4070 Ti here will need a maximum of 270 watts. (if Christmas and Easter come together) and what your CPU needs you can google by searching for the TDP value.

Assuming the above is true and your CPU needs 140 watts, then with plus 270 (GraKa) and rest (40) you get a maximum of 450 watts. Even then, your power supply would be enough. The power supply has an efficiency that determines how many watts it actually delivers. If it's bronze, I think that would mean it can deliver at least 510 watts at 600 watts. Then you wouldn't be that far away from a maximum consumption of 450 watts, but you will never actually see the 450 watts when measuring in everyday life, because modern CPUs are rarely used to over 50% capacity in games and with the RTX graphics cards that is also rarely the case, because you have to have a very demanding game that supports ray tracing to get the card really high. And even then, that doesn't mean that it also draws 270 watts.
In my case, the overall system with an AMD Ryzen 7 7900X and this graphics card is between 140-180 watts for many games. If I really explore everything, I might get up to 240 watts. It's difficult to get above that at all. I have to say that I cap at 90 FPS in the Nvidia driver and I have CPU and GPU undervolted. (brings a maximum saving of about 50 watts in total) But the 90 FPS already reduces the power consumption of the graphics card if it were able to calculate more frames per second. And with the 4070 Ti, this is usually the case. But even if you don't set an FPS cap, there will hardly be any problems.

I hope the answer helps. Otherwise, as I said, the graphics card itself is an absolute mega card, so you'll have a lot of fun. With DLSS3 and Frame Generation, you are equipped for a long time, every title runs incredibly smoothly.

You need to look at your PC configuration, processor Ram SATA SSD hard drive and Blu-ray player if you have one. I have a 1200 watt power supply and it works.
