Hoping my notify comes soon! Just wanted to see what everyone was using/planning to use for their GPU. Currently I have a 600W Gold which is not going to be enough I presume. I'm unsure if the 750 or 850 is necessary for this GPU but I wanted to see what others were using/thought was best.

Depending on your CPU, a 750w will probably be more than enough. A friend of mine is running his 5800x and the FTW3 3080ti on a CORSAIR RM750 and it runs perfectly fine.

Definitely 850w minimum. I hit OCP on my RM750x with my 3090 running at 450w.

2 EVGA 1000w GQs 2 Asus ROG Thor 1200w 1 EVGA 1300w It's recommended to have a minimum 750w but having more will reduce the stress on the PSU

I bought an EVGA Supernova 750 G+ last month in anticipation I ever landed a 3080. I ended up winning the shuffle for a diiferent 3080ti and the recommended power supply is 850..... Was able to find one online as it look slike a lot of the EVGA 850-1000 watt PSU's are in short supply.

I had thought 850 would be a good mid-point but seeing you guys all have 1000 watts now I'm worried haha

What processor do you have too? I would think that in regular situations that you wont have power issues with a 3080ti with an 850 watt. If youre into overclocking and running extreme tests like furmark or something you will see your power usage spiking. I think someone said that while gamaing their GPU average power draw was around 450 watts with spikes up to 500 (was on a forum post here recently so may want to check into that)?

I have a 600W Gold SFX with a 5600x CPU. OC's my 3080 Ti FE + 225Mhz, runs stable with system TDP maxing at about 530W. More headroom would be nice, but when I built this the 750W were out of stock, but so long as its stable, don't see why.

I'm running an i7-8700k Coffee Lake, not OC'd, since it's an older processor I'm thinking you might be right

I can't find the exact post so I may have misread the max GPU power draw. It looks to be a bit lower than my previous post stated according to this thread: https://forums.evga.com/People-that-got-their-3080tiNeed-Data-for-Powerdraw-Between-3-Power-connectorsIMPORTANT-m3381956.aspx I think your power draw on your processor is around 95W but should be below that on most realistic occasions unless stress testing. 850W PSU should give you a safe amount of headroom.

I'm gonna be using a 1000W PSU - it's definitely overkill, but I also plan on watercooling my system and I don't want to ever have to worry about lacking power.

Don't let other people's senseless decisions influence you. Even on my FTW3 Ultra 3090 @ 113% power I never pulled more than 720 watts from the wall, and that number included 2 monitors and 2.1 speakers in a system with AIO, 6 fans, 4 disk drives, etc. 750W is enough. 850W is way more than enough.

Still waiting on my card, but I'll be running a Seasonic PX-850. That's with a 5900X, 4x16GB DDR4 modules, 2x1TB mSATA drives, another HDD, h100i cooler along with 4 other fans. Most PSU calculators estimate just under 600W so I think I'll be fine. Worth noting though that the Seasonic calculator only recommended 1000W power supplies when a 5900X and a 3080 or a 3090 were selected 🤔.

850W should be power aplenty for a 3080TI and a good Ruben processor. No idea about a 3090 though

My computer just pulled 862W from the wall. Sure I was running Prime95 and Kombustor at the same time which I will probably never do again but it was still a good test. It may not be a popular opinion but I sometimes base my opinions on the worst/best case scenarios. When it comes to performance (car/computer/stereo/etc) I like the higher end and some buffer.

Some users have reported 750w PSUs causing issues on 3080s (shut downs, etc)
I have a 4 year old 850w G3. I am considering upgrading it to a 1000w psu for some buffer when my 3080 ti queue pops.

Get 850w or 1000w based on your budget.

I would definitely recommend getting 850 watts to be safe but you might be okay with 750 watts.

Corsair HX 1200. The name should give it away as a 1.2kw PSU. Platinum rated. Now I probably could have done a 1k and been fine but given I will be running a 5900X and a 3080 Ti when my name comes up in the que I wanted to be closer to the maximum efficiency of that PSU. PSUs don't run their maximum efficiency at their rated watts. More like into the 40-60% range. You also don't want to run a PSU at close to it's rated max as that will cause it to run hotter. It will run that way just fine, yes, but that will shorten the lifespan of the PSU.

I would think you'd want to start in the 1000W platinum rated range. Both EVGA and Seasonic make awesome 1000W platinum rated PSUs. Both cost $300. I'd probably go 1200W with that CPU, but I'm in the bigger PSU is better camp. 1000W will certainly get the job done.

It makes sense to me to make sure whatever PSU you decide to buy has extra wattage available. I have a 1000 watt Corsair.
