Hello, technologically minded peoples, I have a question for you.

I would like to know what is the real consumption of a GeForce RTX 5060 Ti and what's the real minimum power supply required to feed one the needed juice.

I ask to know if my father also needs to change is current power supply or not. (For the graphic card itself, he doesn't have a choice but to replace it, since his curent one died.)

The power supply is only going to output what it needs, nothing more. The wattage is a max rating. Oversizing will never harm anything

Ofc, but OP asked for the bare minimum possible.
