New AMD RX 9000 Series graphics cards could force many gamers into an unwanted upgrade

AMD's new graphics cards might cost you more than you thought

We’re rapidly approaching AMD’s reveal event on February 28, but a new leak has set alarm bells ringing for some PC gamers. According to a rather grainy photo of what appears to be a Gigabyte version of the Radeon RX 9070 XT, those who choose AMD’s new GPU may require a power supply that’s capable of 850W minimum. That’s a substantial amount for a card that is widely expected to fall short of the Nvidia RTX 5080 in terms of performance, and could lead to an extra cost if you have a 650W or 750W power supply in your rig.
