Will 1200w be enough for a 5090?

[coach2024]

Planning to get a 9950x and eventually a 5090 bought a 1200w seasonic platinum will it be enough

Probably but there is obviously no official spec for the 5090 yet. Wait til it exists then check compatability.

Yes probably but it was a mistake to buy a PSU now before the other parts are released

Thanks sadly i was offered a unit thats worth £350 for £100 sealed locally - scrapped project, So pulled the trigger, hopefully it is

Id happily use my 850W not that I could afford 5090 anyway

neither can i - but i have saved for over a year for a good pc

Worst case scenario - punt the current 1200w psu on, make a tidy profit and put it toward a higher rated one if needed.
Though I’d highly doubt it’ll be needed.

Tempting but 0 energy to do this lol, hopefully 1200w is enough - Psu prices are a joke tbh. I saw a 2000w psu however for £220 and was temtped GQ EVGA i believe

Seasonic lists GeForce RTX 5090 with 500W TDP and RTX 5080 with 350W

Thanks, i guess they read my posts. I'm happy with my unit and will keep it,
