Swapping/upgrading component from custom built system

Anyone got any experience of this.

Built a new rig to edit with Sony vegas. Specced out a shiny new RTX 2060 and all works great. The guys did an amazing job on the build and all nice and neat inside but it's not looking like an AMD card would be a better fit for Magix Vegas Pro due to the way the AMD's handle OpenCL/GL.

Is it possible to return the RTX and pay extra for something like a Vega 64? Heck, anyone out there want to trade a 1 week old RTX for a Vega?

ou'd have to check if your PSU would handle it first!

I deliberately over specced my PSU to 750 as that's what caught me out with my old dell

what PSU unit ?

should be able to use 14 days change with them maybe ?

as technically if coming from build stock, would go back into another build once tested

Corsair RM750i Dont think ive ever hit over 400watts when I initialy stressed the system.

The dell was... dell. Wattage was rated at Potatoe.

worth asking about changing it . if they are good should allow it after testing
