psu PSU Wattage issue for the RTX 3080

[HimeshGL]

Hi,

Since the RTX 3080 was launched, they said that it's recommended PSU wattage is 750w.

but do i really need to get a new psu? since i just built my pc around february 2020, am rocking a Corsair RM650x (80 Gold plus).

 

My pc specs:

Intel I9 9900K

Msi MPG Z390m gaming edge ac motherboard

Corsair dominator platinum 32gb ram

Noctua Nh-u12A

Samsung evo plus 500gb

Toshiba 2.5" hdd 1tb

Corsair RM650X PSU

 

I waited on getting a grapics card, because i wanted to get the new RTX 3080 series.

but my question is, Do i really need a 750w psu for the RTX3080? would my 650w be enough?

Please help me out guys.

There's another thread about this in the PSU section:

It's just something to discuss right now, and since not very many people have a 3080 at the moment, it might be worth it to wait a bit, or just to discuss general power supply issues, etc.

Thing is you may actually need even 850W PSU if you're doing OC, but nothing definite right now ...

Thanks.

Yeah i think i'll wait on it, until more people get their hands on the 3080 and their experience with a 650w psu + their feedback.

Are you overclocking the cpu?  Do you think you are going to overclock the gpu?  You should upgrade to a 750 or 850 watt power supply.  I heard that Nvidia recommends at least a 750 watt power supply for the RTX 3080.

3080 power draw in the 320(stock)-375w range(GamersNexus), reviews I see for the 9900k say 200(stock)-250w (Tom's Hardware).
So if not OC'ing it should be ok, if OC'ing you probably want to get more power delivery

Non-oc fine, oc look into a 750+.

Thanks for the tip, your right.

but i'll still wait until more people get their hands on the 3080 and use it with a 650w psu + their feedback.
