I have a SeaSonic Focus Gold (SSR-650FM) 650w Power Supply. I was going to buy a RTX 3070 or 3060 Ti but ended up with a GTX 1080 Ti for the time being.

Should i be worried about the PSU or not? I bought it around Aug 5th 2019. And im not sure if it will end up just shutting down my computer if i get a 1080 Ti. Would it be worth to buy a new PSU?

 

Im currently running a Regular GTX 1080 with no problems.

I know that but im asking because the Focus Plus and Focus Gold models had issues with shutting down certain GPUs and the 1080 Ti was one of them mentioned by someone else.

You try it and then, if it doesn't work, you replace it.  Simple.
