Jacob just announced that the FTW3 has a much higher power limit and will draw up to 373W. Who else might need a new PSU? Will 650W be enough?

Nice!  Looking forward to seeing the OC's you guys picking up the FTW3 can achieve.  

A semi-modular 1000 watt in the checkout cart was 119 dollars.
 

Feels good to have 1000w
Bought one ages ago just because I didn't wanna face this question again lol

Don‘t worry guys. Even 600W is more than enough if its not from china.

I've seen a few FE 2080Ti reviews where total (maximum) system power draw is between 500 - 600 Watts, this obviously depends on system to system. I think a 650W PSU would be enough, but only just, and would not be running anywhere near peak efficiency.

600W probably won't be enough if next-gen CPU is overclocked too.
And all EVGA's power supplies are from China though. 

You know what I mean. 50$ 1000W PSU... I have a 550W with 8700K @ 5,2 GHz and 1080 @ 2 GHz drawing 450W peak. Don't think that the 2080Ti will need 200W more.

Best bet would be a 750 Watt Power Supply on a Non-Overclocked CPU/Memory/Motherboard and an 850 Watt Power Supply with an Overclocked CPU/Memory/Motherboard.
720W at Peak = 30 milliseconds in real time before the Power Supply Starts Tripping.

I would like to see the clocks on them. I got 1 preordered and from what I heard that they are shipping them starting next week. I wouldn't go with nothing less than a 850+Watt PSU.

I'm running OC 7700k with 2x8gb ddr4, one m2, 3 SSD, and one HDD. I am running 750w g3.... Been nervous if it's gonna be enough

Post your Findings.

Hi,
Anyone willing to pay 1350.+ tax... wouldn't be skimping on a psu at 650w
850w minimum and depending on cpu might be best at 1000w
These items are cheap compared

Though it's only one year old... I've seen a video where they ran 3x 1080 TI's and a I7-7820X of a 750W psu. So I propably will give it a try. In theory it should be right at the border.

I got an EVGA G3 1000W for 99 bucks on Amazon just a couple weeks ago. It was a major sale, and I don't think my current 650W will be enough for the 9900k and 2080 Ti combo. Lol

People greatly overstate PSU needs. A 650w would almost certainly be fine for this and an OC’ed CPU. Thing is, the difference between a 650 and 750 is typically like 20 bucks, so if you’re about to buy a new one it wouldn’t hurt to go higher. Doesn’t mean you need to replace your current unless you have a TON of other power draw from various devices.

FYI: the official Nvidia guidance on RTX 2080 Ti is 650W minimum recommended system power. If you are overclocking a FTW3 card and / or overclocking a HEDT CPU/Motherboard then you obviously need more power. And operating a PSU at full rated power is not smart. You want to operate the PSU at a point with headroom so that under normal system draw is at a point 50-70% up the draw limit where efficiency peaks. 
 
Also I'd rather buy a 1000W once, rather than buy a 650W, then upgrade to a 850W to O/C then upgrade to a 1000W if I change my mind and decide to go SLI. If you are throwing $1500 at a FTW3 why would you even question spending an extra $50-100 to get a more capable PSU?
 
I think you are doing the right thing going for 1000W personally speaking. This was my choice too.

I don't plan to overclock, I just wanna spend the money now to have options later. I think it'll be worth it.
