Hello, I want to upgrade to a 3080ti or 4070ti but they recommend a 700w+ psu. I was wondering if y’all think I could get by with my 650w psu. Here are my specs:
-B550 tomahawk
-Ryzen 5 5600x
-64gb ram
-Rtx 2080
-Kraken cooler
-650w Corsair psu

Hello Mtsilverghost, and thank you for your submission to Gaming PC! If you are new please check out our rules over at the wiki [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/gamingpc/wiki/rules)!
We have recently added the useful feature of Title Flair! You can set this manually by clicking Flair under your post once you have submitted your post, but if you missed it in the rules there is a much better way that will automatically flair your post!
To do this simply add what your post is about in brackets before your title. For example for a Build Log you can type [Build Log] before your post so that it looks like this; [Build Log]My new awesome build!, and the bot will automatically set your flair to Build Log! This works for Build Log, Build Showcase, News, Hardware News, Hardware Release, Discussion, and Miscellaneous!
Also remember that this is a place for discussing and sharing our love of Gaming Computers! This is NOT the place for help building or determining what parts you should buy, that is better suited for /r/buildapc. Troubleshooting questions should be directed to /r/techsupport. Thank you again!

When I upgraded from my 2080 to my 3080, I had a major drop in FPS as I had a 650w PSU that was preventing the 3080 from drawing enough power. As soon as I swapped for a 1000w PSU, my FPS increased drastically. So, to summarise… yes, you need a more powerful PSU.
