When it comes to building or upgrading a gaming PC, choosing the right power supply unit (PSU) is just as critical as picking the latest graphics card. To make life easier for builders, Seasonic has updated its online PSU wattage calculator with new entries for the upcoming NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Super and RTX 5070 Ti Super GPUs. This quiet addition has already sparked excitement and speculation among PC enthusiasts who are waiting for NVIDIA’s next big GPU refresh.
Seasonic’s wattage calculator helps gamers, creators, and PC builders determine the right PSU size based on their hardware. With the latest update, users can now select RTX 5070 Super and RTX 5070 Ti Super from the GPU dropdown list. While the RTX 5080 Super isn’t officially listed yet, leaks suggest its inclusion is only a matter of time. This move is significant because power requirements often reveal early hints about upcoming GPU performance and positioning.
Based on what’s been revealed through Seasonic’s tool and industry leaks, here’s a look at the expected power consumption (TDP):
RTX 5070 Super → ~275W TDP (slightly higher than the standard RTX 5070)
RTX 5070 Ti Super → ~350W TDP (a bump over the non-Super Ti model)
RTX 5080 Super → ~415W TDP (speculative but consistent with leaked reports)
These numbers suggest that NVIDIA’s “Super” refresh will come with noticeable performance gains—and higher wattage demands.
Expected Power Requirements for the RTX 50 “Super” Series
Accurate PSU Sizing
With higher TDPs, you’ll need a reliable power supply with extra headroom. Running close to your PSU’s maximum capacity can lead to system instability.Future-Proofing Your Build
Adding these GPUs to the Seasonic tool hints at their imminent release. If you’re planning a new build, you may want to size your PSU with these models in mind.Connector Compatibility
Many new graphics cards use the latest 16-pin PCIe Gen 5 (12VHPWR / 12V-2x6) connectors. PSU calculators like Seasonic’s help ensure you pick a unit that matches both wattage and connector standards.
Why This Matters for Gamers and PC Builders
While NVIDIA hasn’t made anything official, the appearance of these GPUs in a trusted PSU calculator is a strong indicator that the RTX 50 Super lineup is on the horizon. In the past, Seasonic has updated its database ahead of major GPU launches—so this could be a subtle early confirmation. For gamers, this means one thing: a wave of new graphics cards is coming soon, bringing better performance but also higher power requirements.
Seasonic’s PSU calculator update is more than just a tool tweak—it’s an early sign of what’s next in the GPU market. If you’re eyeing an upgrade to the RTX 5070 Super, RTX 5070 Ti Super, or RTX 5080 Super, be prepared to invest in a high-quality PSU, ideally in the 750W–1000W range, depending on the rest of your system. As always, it’s better to plan ahead than scramble for a new power supply once the GPUs hit the shelves.
