Which 30 series card would work on a asus 650w power supply

Cpu is a 3600x

3070.

A 3070 is the highest I would go on a 650w psu. Power consumption of these latest gpu's is just ridiculous. Components should be getting more power efficient and for a time were, not sucking more power.

Thanks can the 3070 do 1440p correctly

Graphics cards is one area I don't keep up with

The just released Cyberpunk 2077 is the most demanding game out there now, reviewers are comparing it to Crysis back in its prime. A 3070 will run the former game at 1440p with ray tracing on, so it should run any other game at that resolution.

I got a new PC today with 3070 - notably better than 2070 Super and is great 1440 UW. High settings with RT on on CP is easily 60FPS

I run a 3090 @ 1440 on a 850w.
It draws just over 500w at the wall on Cyberpunk and that includes a monitor, speakers and the router.
You could easily go for a 3080 if you wanted too.

3080 should be doable just don't overclock cpu and gpu.

3060ti is not far off a 3070, quite a bit cheaper and you can actually buy them.

That would need not power draw heavy other parts.
RTX 3080 has ~500W transient draw:

Depends what the PSU make and model is...

I'm running a 3080 and OC'd 5820K on a Superflower Leadex 650W at the moment without issue. I've not had any crashes running the 3080 at stock but I usually use an undervolt curve cause the efficiency gains are ridiculous.

Whatever you can get stock wise

A 3080 would be fine to run on a decent 650w PSU though.
