Will a RTX 3080 work in a 600 watt power supply?

[fahad00007]

So I have a custom built pc the specs are:

Geforce GTX 1650 Super

16 GB DDR4

Sata 500 GB 

intel core i5 9400F

Thermaltake GX1 600w power supply 80+ gold

 

im looking to upgrade my

gpu to a rtx 3080 or 3070 so I’m wondering if they would work with my rig?

I am somehow running my 3080Ti with a 700 watt Raidmax Vampire PSU. Had it for almost 6 years and somehow it still works great!

 

Heard of lots of people saying 600 was not enough though. I'm confident a 3070 will be perfectly fine though.

No, I'd go at least a 750w for a 3080. 600w is fine for 3070

ehh... Maybe. I'd say there's a good chance that it'll be able to work, but there's a chance it wont. Transient power spikes may break through the rated power limit of your PSU, in that case it's just matter of how well it can handle those spikes. If it can't... well, I think you know what'll happen. At 600w you're not going to have a huge overhead to upgrade your components however, so a new power supply is a decent consideration.

it'll likely work just fine

 

if it doesn't either upgrade your psu or cap the power limit to slightly lower like 80%, you probably wont notice the difference anyways

Won't power correctly, and specially if you got of RGB lights everywhere, the specification recommend 750w

I find it odd that some peeps are willing to throw a chunk of cash into GPU purchases, yet willing to risk all on a PSU not quite up to the challenge. As to whether the system would work nicely with the new GPU, possibly, but as someone had mentioned, you've gotta account for those transient spikes, especially from the RTX 3080. For an RTX 3070, that PSU may be okay, really depends on how old it is and the condition it's in.
