Do you have any idea how much power the 3080 ftw will draw (once oc)?

I have a 9900k and a 750w seasonic platinum. I'm a bit worry it won't be enough once fully overclock, the 9900k draw 220w under prime95 (I know it's not real workload but I take that as the max it could draw by accident for a second).

    Until EVGA lifts the curtain on their new 30 series cards
     
     
    my best guess 350W
     
    Nvidia recommends the 750W PSU for both their 3080 & 3090

    The 3080 FTW3 has 3x8pin, it won't be higher?

    I've got a 338w bios and was actually just playing around with running prime95 and Unigine Heaven at the same time the other day, had to cut the Prime down to like 5 or 6 threads to get Heaven to run at full GPU power, so the CPU was at about 150w and the GPU was peaking up to 340w.  This is on a 650w gold EVGA PSU. 
     
    Even if the 3080 FTW3 bios is 40% over reference as it was with Turing, so 450w on the 3080 FTW3, I'm pretty sure you'll be OK with any real world loads with the 750w.  Might want to run low lag vsync or set appropriate power limit when gaming though, just for the long term health of the gpu.

    Yes it should be over 375 for 3x8 pins so my guess is 3080 is at least 400.

    Each 8 pin officially supports 150 watts
    With the PCIe slot (75 watts) -- these cards should support 525 watts
     
    8 pins can support much higher but not officially so it can likely pull more.
     
    I really wish they would have just used the new NVIDIA 12 pin which is about the size of 1 8 pin and officially supports up to 600 watts

    I agree it would have been nicer, especially oriented the normal way and not the nvidia way. For the higher wattage cards though it might have been too soon to support or worry about having to do customer support on such a thing.  I doubt that the chip itself can handle 525watts max power into the card at least on air, but it would be awesome if they did.

    I could be mistaken but it actually does NOT support 600w. It technically, officially supports 300w. Just like 2x8 pin it can draw much more than that but it's not rated for 600w.

    This might be true, i think the 600w figure came from a review that it could in theory if gauged properly be up to 600watts, but I haven't seen anything official eitherway other than seasonic saying it should be used by a 850watt powersupply, which would indicate theirs is rated for more than 300watts. Also the pins are kind of small.  It certainly can be fed 600 watts by most powersupplies in a 2x8pin, but hopefully we never end up with 675watt GPUS to every need something like that anyway.

    Do you have any idea how much power the 3080 ftw will draw (once oc)?

    I have a 9900k and a 750w seasonic platinum. I'm a bit worry it won't be enough once fully overclock, the 9900k draw 220w under prime95 (I know it's not real workload but I take that as the max it could draw by accident for a second).



    I've got a 338w bios and was actually just playing around with running prime95 and Unigine Heaven at the same time the other day, had to cut the Prime down to like 5 or 6 threads to get Heaven to run at full GPU power, so the CPU was at about 150w and the GPU was peaking up to 340w.  This is on a 650w gold EVGA PSU. 
     
    Even if the 3080 FTW3 bios is 40% over reference as it was with Turing, so 450w on the 3080 FTW3, I'm pretty sure you'll be OK with any real world loads with the 750w.  Might want to run low lag vsync or set appropriate power limit when gaming though, just for the long term health of the gpu.



    Running an OC'd 9900K power draw obviously depends on vcore and load .......for example all 8c/16t oc'd to say 5.1Ghz w 1.325v under full P95 w AVX enable can draw up to 375w CPU alone.....if your playing around with higher vcore say up to 1.4v the load will go up exponentially....also bear in mind the ideal load on your PSU is to stay in that 65% efficiency peak (in the curve)......also quieter......with all that being said you wil never fully load your CPU and GPU simultaneously (even running most benchmarks).......

    Yes, I think I will go with the FE and won't overclock.

    I already received my 3080 FE but thank you for the information.

    It's a really good gpu.

    Is there any software that can monitor the wattage draw at least semi accurately?

    440W seems to be it. The founders somehow can do 400W despite basically using two 8-pins merged into that new connector. That's really fudging spec for a standard BIOS, but the card really needs it. Asus Strix card is also 400W and they want as much as the FTW3 for it! Lame.

    This is probably a really stupid question, but coming from someone that has never overclocked before, what is the real benefit? A few extra frames? Or just for the sake of competition and benchmark numbers? Doesn't this wear out the components more quickly?

    Few frames with a lot more power draw. Not worth it at all

    It depends on the component. 900 series? The 980Ti boosted around 1100MHz, but could overclock to 1500MHz. You could literally squeeze more than 40% more performance out of it. You were a butthead wasting performance if you did not OC. Now? Cards are clocked and boost close to their power limits out of the box. Not too much to gain. And no, it does not wear them out faster. Voltage kills cards and crazy temps. Also lots of dust. You cannot boost voltage on new cards 'cuz they don't want you frying them.

    EVGA 3080 FTW3 max power limit 400W. Why? As seen above, this was previously communicated to 420W.
    Asus Strix - 450W. Come on EVGA! Please have a bios update with higher power limit.

    Can someone with a 3080 FTW3 ULTRA and/or 3080 FTW3 (non-ultra) please check the GPU-Z bios readout for the NOMINAL power limits?
