Upgrade my Omen 880-012nl with a RTX 3060

Light88 · ‎03-28-2023

Good Morning, I would like to upgrade my Omen 880-012nl from GTX 1070 to RTX 3060.
I wonder if it's possible to upgrade the graphic card without changing my 500 watt power supply.
In the Nvidia site says RTX 3060 needs 550 watt but also says "Requirement is made based on PC configured with an Intel Core i9-10900K processor. A lower power rating may work depending on system configuration."

I have Intel i7-7700k and It has a lower power rating than the other cpu.
Then, does a RTX 3060 with a i7-7700K work good with a 500 watt power supply or I need change it ?

hi

it's a risk to take, or not
indeed, it is possible that this is sufficient, depending on the configuration of the computer, the power can be reduced
Now nvidia also needs to mention referencing the manufacturers
some models made, might need more
you have to check, but I think it will be ok, the number of power connectors required!

if you are ready to change the power supply box..
take the test, and if it doesn't work then change to a more powerful one!
if it works without a problem, then you could buy a new game!
