What power supply do you need for GeForce RTX 2070 Super
Short answer
GeForce RTX 2070 Super: a 650 W power supply — NVIDIA's official recommendation for the whole PC; the card itself draws up to 215 W; with an efficient CPU less is enough — see the FPSHQ estimate below. GeForce RTX 2070 Super needs a power supply of at least 550 W in a build with a mid-range CPU (500 W with a budget CPU, 600 W with a high-end one). The bare minimum is 450 W; the card's TDP is 215 W, short system spikes reach 496 W. Source of the numbers: per the NVIDIA specification as of Oct 8, 2026; FPSHQ calculation from manufacturers' TDP with power headroom (methodology).

PSU wattage for GeForce RTX 2070 Super by CPU class
| CPU in the build | Load | Peak | Minimum | Recommended PSU |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Budget CPU (65 W: Core i3/i5 non-K, Ryzen 5 non-X) | ~370 W | up to 456 W | 450 W | 500 W 80+ Bronze |
| Mid-range CPU (105 W: Core i5-K, Ryzen 5/7 X) | ~410 W | up to 496 W | 500 W | 550 W 80+ Bronze |
| High-end CPU (150+ W: Core i7/i9-K, Ryzen 9) | ~455 W | up to 541 W | 550 W | 600 W 80+ Bronze |
Method: graphics card TDP (215 W) + CPU TDP + 90 W for the board, memory, drives and fans; card spikes up to +40% of TDP; the recommendation is load +30%, but not below the peak, rounded up to a standard rating.
