Power Supply Requirements

The RX 6900 XT has a 300W TDP (Thermal Design Power). For optimal performance and stability, the reference specification recommends a 750W system power supply. The TDP is the GPU power target, while the PSU recommendation includes the CPU and the rest of the system, so the two figures are not contradictory. Make sure your PSU has the correct power connectors (usually 2x 8-pin or 12VHPWR). Undervolting can reduce power consumption by 10-20% while maintaining performance.
