What's the REAL minimum power supply needed for a RTX 5060 Ti? (thebrainbin.org)

Hello, technologically minded peoples, I have a question for you.

I would like to know what is the real consumption of a GeForce RTX 5060 Ti and what's the real minimum power supply required to feed one the needed juice.

I ask to know if my father also needs to change is current power supply or not. (For the graphic card itself, he doesn't have a choice but to replace it, since his curent one died.)

You'll need to list the rest of the components, since the GPU won't be the only thing being powered.

You can plug them into PCpartpicker and it should tell you if it's sufficient or not.

Worth noting that power supplies are most efficient running at ~50% of capacity, so if you're far off from that number, it will make sense to just get something larger, as it will pay for itself in the long run.
