Looking for a 1000w Power Supply

to be fair, a lot of professional workloads that involve rendering do rather closely resemble synthetic stress tests in their usage, so I don't think it's too unrealistic.

Yeah. I just mean OP probably isn't going to all core OC to 4.3GHz.

Though he might... so I did want to put all the info out there.

For reference, I use V-Ray and Blender most frequently.

Most demanding programs I have are probably V-Ray and Blender

Do you use CPU and GPU simultaneously?

I know that Blender plays super nicely with the Radeon VII, it's basically a Blender user's wet dream. As for Vray, I know it supports OpenCL but I'm not sure about the relative performance. I believe Vray does better with Nvidia so it depend on your priorities. I would look into the VII as an alternative for the 2080 super, especially because it has 16GB of Vram.

I've heard this a lot, may consider just making a seperate build for rendering entirely if it becomes financially plausible for me.

Alternatively, with a big beefy 1200W PSU, put the 2080 super and the VII in the same PC

Usually both, if I'm doing something I'll usually allocate the CPU over GPU.

Well if you're ever curious you can make a demo file and I'll render it and send you numbers.

That would actually be quite helpful, there are a ton of benchmarks though so I have a general idea. If I need it I'll definitely take you up on that.

I’m one of those that would rather not worry about stressing the power supply either and have some headroom.

 

 I’m considering a 850w for my build.  I’m looking at Seasonic as they are the OEM providers for many of the other brands mentioned.

Always go with at least 150w headroom minimum, people who like to live stupidly buy a PSU's that is going to be used to maximum capacity 24/7

I've been looking to get a 1000w power supply (Yes I do need 1000w, trust me on this) but i'm torn on which one to get. My primary focus is noise levels, as low as possible in med/high loads. My budget is ~$250 or less. Digital monitoring is a big plus for me but not really a necessity. The ones I am currently looking at are:

Antec High Current Pro

Dark Power Pro 11

Corsair HX 1000i

 

I've seen the PSU tier list but i'm not sure what the noise is like on the Antec, especially considering how it is a bit older than other options on the list. If you guys have a quiet power supply with monitoring below $250 that would be God tier but I know you can't have your cake and eat it too. All help, suggestions, and questions are much appreciated.

hx1000i call it a day.

^^^ I have an RM1000i which is excellent, IIRC the HX series is a bit higher up so that should be even nicer.

Worth the extra $25 over the non-i version? I don't really mind actually but the monitoring is the only difference right?

well you said you care about noice. with the i you can make the fan do whatever u want

There may be an internals difference, I don't know for sure though. Either is a solid unit, the i ones just have monitoring like you mentioned. It's full system power though, to go by individual components you need an AXi.

Just out of curiosity, what behemoth are you powering?

[Mateyyy]

I'd expect the Dark Power Pro to be the quietest at full load, but the HXi has the bonus of digital monitoring while still being super high-end in terms of quality also, and it definitely isn't far behind the DPP in terms of noise.

Please don't make multiple posts asking the same questions, you'll just get run around in circles with people asking for the same information again and giving the same answers.

True, I'll go with that then.
