Do I still want to play a game on a PC when even 650 Watt isn't enough? #PSU #power_consumption #gaming

@genxyz isn't enough for what? I play games at 6w all the time.

Viva LA !

@WagesOf Steamdeck right? Amazing how one can play games for a fraction of wattage of what my pc's cpu +gpu seem to require

@genxyz w bazzite specifically, but most indie and older games run great w the tdp at 6w.

My VR rig w a 3080 and ryzen 3900x does draw a good 750w peak tho.

Thirsty work that VR is. 😅

@WagesOf LOL I've been spending money that I don't have on a pc that I want to play Cities Skylines on. First better casing and cooling, then replacing a faulty HDD and the system is still shutting down in the middle of a game. Most likely because of the PSU. I think I'll need that 750 W too 😄

@genxyz you might get by with a little undervolt on the cpu/gpu, but I'd be afraid to damage something if the psu is actually too small.

Running at 100% capacity on power is concerning.
