NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER power connector: what does it need?
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER needs 1× PCIe 8-pin from the power supply. At about 175 W board power, here is what to know before you plug it in.
Recommendations are planning estimates, not electrical or purchasing advice. The hardware figures behind them are vendor-published; your exact board-partner model and build can still differ.
Power connector
1× PCIe 8-pin
Reference power input.
GPU board power
175 W
Vendor TGP/TBP — a conservative ceiling, not typical gaming draw.
PSU minimum (typical build)
550 W
Assumes a 125 W-class CPU + standard accessories.
PSU comfortable (typical build)
550 W
Standard headroom for spikes and future room.
Board-partner note
Reference/Founders design uses a single 8-pin PCIe connector.
ATX 3.x advice
Any competent modern power supply with the right cable handles this card. ATX 3.x is optional at this power class.
Safety notes
- Never mix modular cables between different PSU brands or models. The PSU-side pinout is not standardized — a mismatched cable can destroy hardware.
- Do not exceed a cable's rated load with splitters or adapters, and replace any cable with damaged or discolored connectors.
- Before buying, confirm the connector layout and PSU guidance on the official pages of both your exact card model and your PSU — board partners change designs between variants.

How to check this figure
NVIDIA has retired this card’s product page — it redirects to a 20-series landing page with no specifications. The figures survive in NVIDIA’s own comparison table, in the block with id "compare-20", which gives each card its own named column. Identify this one by its 256-bit Memory Interface Width: its 2176 CUDA cores are NOT unique on that table — the RTX 2060 column reads "2176 / 1920" for the 12 GB and 6 GB variants, so CUDA count alone can land you on the wrong card. The RTX 2060 is 192-bit. Row labels here are "Graphics Card Power (W)" and "Minimum System Power (W)". Note the same page also carries RTX 40- and 50-series tables using "Total Graphics Power (W)" — do not read across them.
