I have a Ryzen 5 3600 with an EVGA 700 watt 80 plus Bronze PSU. Would it be just enough for a RTX 3080 on stock? Thanks in advance!

I don't want to upgrade my power supply since I just bought it :((

 

My current rig:

Ryzen 5 3600 with Stock cooler

16GB RAM 3000 MHz

Gigabyte RTX 2060 OC

EVGA 700 Watt 80plus Bronze

principally yes. but if there is a spike in power usage as some have reported then it will shut down your system

EVGA probably has a dozen 80+ Bronze rated PSUs. 

It'd be useful if you could let us know which exact model it is (B2, B5, BT, BQ, etc.), though even if it was say the B2 (which I think is the best out of their Bronze units atm), I still wouldn't get my hopes up in it running a 3080 without any hiccups.

 

Best (probably) case scenario, you undervolt and/or lower the power limit on the 3080 and it works.

Worst case, you need to buy a new PSU if it straight-up doesn't work, or if you've got a crappy group reg that you shouldn't be powering even your current system with.

I really don't trust any of the EVGA bronze units to handle the transient power spikes of the 30 series.

Yeah it should be okay. As far as I know, there are only two 700w 80+ Bronze PSUs, the BR and the W1. The BR is better, but you won't blow up the W1 either.

The only one that is confirmed to work with the 3080 is the BQ currently.

Hm, good to know. I'd imagine it whines pretty damn badly when paired with a 3080 because of its double forward topology though, lol.

The W1 is rated 80+ White and is more likely to light up like a Christmas tree than to work fine with a 3080.

Yeah....

 

On the list we have of working PSUs and working well there are no Bronze models....

 

And all of them are Tier A PSUs on the tier list, we have over 80 PSUs listed so far.

This is what I would only recommend to those looking at RTX 30 series, a Tier A rated PSU to deal with those transient power spikes to prevent system shutdown.

Nope.  Not gonna work.

I would buy a super high quality psu. Never trust a mehp psu with expensive hardware. I think you should try a Corsair 800+ watts.
