  • RTX 3080 & 3090 Power Supply Requirements - Minimum PSU Wattage Leak
    Recent RTX 3000 leaks have been suggesting that the RTX 3080 will have a 320W TGP and the RTX 3090 will have a 350W TGP. With these much higher power limits many are beginning to wonder if their power supply will be able to provide enough power to these new Ampere GPUs. The question on everybodys mind seems to be is will my 650W PSU be able to handle the RTX 3080, or do I need to buy an 850W PSU.

      It's even more dumb to mock people for quality PSUs because the slightly more expensive higher wattage (usually gold or plat) PSUs tend to run more steadily with a lower draw, so a more expensive higher watt higher efficiency PSU will end up paying back the extra you spent by saving on your electric bill AND be more reliable the whole time.

      A PC with an 8700k and an RTX 2080ti consumes around 450W. The 3090 will consume ~100W more than a 2080Ti, and it'll run fine on a 650W PSU. You guys need to stop acting like this is the most power-hungry GPU ever. There are cards like GTX 590, GTX Titan Z, HD7990, etc that are more power-hungry than the 3090.

    Just letting everyone know, 750W recommendation is based off of a 3080 and 10900k pairing. It probably includes headroom too. PC Gamer's 10900k 5.3 ghz OC peaked at 331W, and at the absolute peak for Tom's Hardware's 1080 ti ROG Strix OC'd was around 350W. At absolutely the worst case scenario (or best depending on how you look at it), these two combined pushed to their limits combine to 680W. Unless you're stretching each part to their absolute limits, you'll not need something greater than 650W. At that point if you're running a 10900K and have the gear to push it that high, you'd probably have the money and may have already bought an 850W+ PSU.
    I see the 3700X non-OC in stress tests hitting a total system power draw of 150W in reviews with AIDA64, slap a 3080's 320W TDP and add another 150W just to be super safe and you get 470 + 150 = 620W minimum when you're stressing both the 3700X and 3080. This is the extreme worst case scenario and if you're planning to push your parts this hard, you most likely know what you're doing and will have a properly equipped PSU. The average consumer will NEVER be stressing both the CPU and GPU to these peak wattages in average scenarios. Stress tests put completely unreasonable load on the given part, which will never translate to real world load and power consumption.
    GamersNexus even made a video on this recently where they tested a 10900K and 2080 ti at 100% load on both and he even got lower system wattage than my numbers! Where I got 620W from worst case, he got around 530W with ACTUAL worst case benchmarks. In games, consumption was even lower at somewhere in the 400s (still 10900k 2080 ti). Watch that video instead of one where someone just plugs in numbers and spits out a recommendation.
    Point is, these recommendations should always be taken with a grain of salt. Guru3D recommends a 500W PSU for a 1070 ti, and I have ran it easily on a 450W high quality unit (SF450 for anyone wondering) with no issues even with a slight OC. Please please please DO NOT cheap out on the quality of your PSU, whatever wattage you choose. Look at the PSU tier list on LTT forums. I can vouch for Seasonic GX Series, Super Flower Leadex III's, and Corsair's SF line. Really anything on the A/B tier will do you justice. I'm not saying don't buy 750W+ units. Give yourself peace of mind and go for the 850W if you want, because yes, PSUs are the most efficient at 50% load. Even then for a high quality unit like a 650W Leadex III, efficiency ranges between 90% - 92% at between 50% - 90% load. That's only a 2% difference. But if you're the guy running a 3600X or 9600K and you're not doing or are planning to do anything crazy and you have a 650W PSU, don't scramble to go grab an 850W PSU for your 3080 because chances are, you will be fine.

    I think people forget you can always undervolt and underclock the gpu if needed. In most cases you end up with a slight loss in performance and get much better efficiency. I'm not sure why everyone seems to forget this. I'm willing to bet you can drop 50 watts or more off a 3080. If a 3070 is 220w... Then there's plenty of headroom for undervolting on the 3080.

    • @danielcobia7818
      @danielcobia7818 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      There's a reviewer here on youtube that dropped 100W off a 3090 and got it into the 270-280W range. I myself typically have my 3070 undervolted to .8v and run right around 160-170W rather than the stock 220+.
      Of course, the 40 series kinda murdered this way of getting more out of your card in the face.

    Just a reminder, external battery banks and battery backup utilities are usually around only 100-400 watts. Some are up to 800 watts, but you're going to be paying a kidney for those. If you need a backup battery incase power goes out, this is something to consider.

    Honestly, you need a simple formula called Watts Law, also known as P = I * E - which is really easy (P = Power; I = Current, and lastly; E = Voltage). It is all about Current and Voltage to calculate power properly.
    1. Also, you can transpose this formula P = I * E to calculate Current and Voltage. Okay lets look at your 12V rail, your power supply company (for Marketing purposes) is usually factoring your current rating by a factor of x 10. So, For example - when you look on your power supply and see the 12V rail that is labeled at 50 Amps this is usually 5 Amps * 10 = 50A. This equals 12V * 50 Amps = equals 600 Watts of power (remember this Part later).
    2. What we need to do - is find out what is the current (or Amps) that our RTX 3080 Card will draw? So, Lets transpose our Watts Law Formula - 320W (P) divided by 120 AC-V (E) = 2.6A. That's how much current our RTX 3080 card will draw Under Load - and probably a max of 2.9A - to 3.2A not sure if we would see this, but let's be safe.
    3. Many systems today idle at .87 Amps to 1 Amp - Now add that to our load current 2.6 Amps + .87 Amps = 3.47 Amps on our 12V rail. But you can make bump that to 3.8 Amps to 4.0 Amps worst case scenario with the RTX 3080.
    4. However, NVidia does not know what types of systems people have - Many older systems with Lots of HDD's and Fans and tons of other stuff you have connected will obviously draw more current - Hence the 750W recommendation! NVIDA just wants the end user to be cautious.
    4. So, my Mini ITX with Ryzen 7 3700X O/C'd to 4.0GHZ on all cores and 3 SSD'S and an M.2 drive - and Enermax Liqtec120X liquid cooling + (2) LED RGB and 2 other fans idles at .87 Amps or 106 Watts + 3.2 Amps RTX 3080 card worst case = 4.07 Amps!
    **I have a 650W power supply with a 12V Rail of 54A which is actually 5.4 amps = 648 Watts - I am going to use this first and if I notice anything weird or strange - I will upgrade only if I experience power issues. If your Power supply has something like 45-48Amps on the 12V rail - I would upgrade to something like 54Amps or higher on the 12V rail, when you do this, the wattage will naturally be higher!
    5. I definitely liked that he used OuterVision PS Calculator and it came up for me with 39.3 Amps on the 12V rail - which translates to 3.9 amps - Remember the KEY here is 12V Rail and what value it has for current! But, if you have tons of stuff attached then choose the 750W or an above wattage power supply.
    I hope this helps this thread!

    Crazy thing about power supplies and rated wattage. Going off memory here bare with me. I think it was 2009 when the first gen I7s came out. I built a I7 920 D0 stepping rig with a pair of amd 5870s with 16 gig of DDR 2 all snugged on a gigabyte X58 UD5. I had a corsair 750TX.
    About 2013, I bought 7990 to swap out the 5870s. Still have one 5870 in a box. I was still on the same 750TX which was manufactured in 2009.
    Then I got even more ridiculous and bought a used 7970 and ran that with the 7990 for trifire. Same rest of the configuration including the same corsair 750TX.
    That setup ran so damn hot, with ridiculous power consumption but no worries, I planned to upgrade to the new at the time 4th gen I5 4690k.
    The X58 mobo finally started to suffer degradation and wouldn't overclock anymore (confirmed with a spareboard). So it was a perfect time to upgrade.
    2014, I upgraded the platform to the 4th gen I7 4770k and oveclocked it to 4.5ghz with a gigabyte Z97 gaming GT, 16GB of DDR3, the amd 7990 and 7970 and kept the same 750TX.
    A year later the 7970 died, probably a heat death because it was blocked by the 7990 but it was used so maybe that had a factor. I still had the 7990 so oh well.
    Around 2016 I think, the HTC vive came out and I had to retire the 7990 because it didn't have HDMI port needed for the vive so I sort of sidegraded to a Nvidia GTX 1070. Still the same PSU.
    Christmas 2018 I built a new i5 9600k rig with a 2070 and a gigabyte Z390 mobo.
    The interesting part is the I7 4770 is still being used by my son, still overclocked but with the gtx 1070 thats overclocked as well and still with that corsair 750tx. 11 years that PSU as been slaving along. A few of those years it has ran well above its rated capacity, but it showed me that a good efficient PSU is way more important than the wattage number printed on the case.
    My son is replacing the 4th gen rig with a 10th gen I7 and will swap the 1070 with a 3080. He will replace the aging 750TX because its not modular and the cable management is next to impossible with the case he has now which is a Thermaltake view 71
    My current rig has a corsair HX 1050 watt PSU, ill see how long she last.
    Just wanted to share my experience with probably the best PSU I've ever used in my 26 years of PC gaming.
    Oh and the AMD 7990 is in a friends PC, he plays Ark with it. Said it warms his room when its cold out, lol. They don't make stuff like they used to anymore. 😅

      Unless you are heavily overclocking your components pushing them far past their efficiency curve (frequency vs. voltage), your 650w should be fine for a 3090 stock with any normal consumer desktop CPU. Obviously I don't know exactly what's in your PC, but I'm willing to bet it most likely doesn't have something like a Threadripper or something consuming insane amounts of power.

      You'll definitely be fine. I have an OC'd 3700x + 4 x 8GB RGB memory with an OC'd GTX 1080 Ti (~320W) and an RX 550 (~50W) with an EVGA 650W B3. I've run this setup for about half a year now without once having any issues even while stress testing. Adding up the 100% load power consumption with all my parts brings be to around 562-570 watts, leaving a headroom of well over 50 watts. Any decent quality 650w power supply should be able to handle that fine, and I'm assuming that a 80+ platinum Seasonic is waaay higher quality than my budget EVGA 650 B3.

    Nvidia recommends a 650 Watts PSU for the RTX 3070 and a 750 Watts PSU for the 3080 & 3090.
    For proof Do this:
    1. Go to this website www.nvidia.com/en-gb/geforce/graphics-cards/30-series/?nvid=nv-int-cwmfg-64629#cid=gf73_nv-int-cwmfg_en-gb (Nvidia's Official RTX 30 Series Page)
    2. Scroll down until you see 'Compare Specs' and click on it.
    (It should bring up a Small box with all of the Gpu's info.)
    3. Scroll down to the bottom to see how much energy each card uses (Est)

    • @CknSalad
      @CknSalad 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      They are going to up the wattage because higher wattage means more money for them. Honestly, eight core and below can run on as low as 650w with oc cpu and undervolted 3080 and 3090. 750w for peace of mind. It’s when you’re going super high end like ryzen 9 or 10900k / 11900k that you probably will want to get a gold 850w as those are priced reasonably.
