ENOUGH POWERSUPPLY?

[s0mersbybg_]

HI, i already purchased Gigabyte AORUS RTX 2080 Ti version, but im scared to do exchange with my old 1070 Ti cuz im thinking the current psu is not enough for this beast.

Should i upgrade with higher PSU or no.
I'll use stock everything. No OC's.

Yes, replace the PSU with a 750W.

My EVGA 2080 ti XC uses a 850 Watt PSU with a i7 8086k overclocked to 5.1ghz.

When one of my EVGA FTW3 Ultra 2080 ti was on that system sometimes it would not display and I had to switch off the PSU using its power switch and switch it on again to get it to work. Now it is on a 1000 watt PSU and it works perfectly.

 

I have 2 FTW3 Ultras and both had the same issue. I also have a 860 Corsair Platinum and a EVGA 850 gold and both had the same issue with the FTW3 Ultras.

The EVGA XC uses about 30 watts less than the FTW3 Ultras but that is the only obvious difference. 

 

So my advice is get a 1000 watt PSU. When the time come to upgrade to a 30 series or 40 series you will probably need it anyway.

 

Here is the power range of my cards according to GPUZ. The XC uses 30 watts more and the FTW3 Ultra uses 15 watts more.
