What power supply does an RTX 3050 need?

Nvidia puts the power supply a PC with an RTX 3050 needs at 550 W or more; the card itself draws up to 130 W and carries 8 GB of GDDR6. The 6 GB RTX 3050 draws 70 W and needs 300 W. The cheapest power supply we price that meets it is the ASRock PRO 850G Power Supply, 3-Year Warranty, rated 850 W, at $59.99.

The whole PC’s minimum, from Nvidia’s spec sheet; a system with a hungrier processor can need more. The card’s maker may rate its own version higher.
