Posted April 21, 2023 Did I made a mistake in purchasing atx 2.0 psu in 2022? I purchased msi psu 850w.. It was gold psu and has excellent reviews.. Knowing that atx 3.0 psu is around the corner. Did i made a mistake in purchasing atx 2.0 psu. Msi one which I bought came with 10year warranty. I want this psu to last for 7-8 year.. Will it become obsolete? Do futruee gpus going to consume more than 600 w of gpu power? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will it become obsolete? Do futruee gpus going to consume more than 600 w of gpu power? I highly doubt future GPU's will consume 600w ( Maybe the highest xx90 or XTX card. But you can run a 4090 on a 850w anyways. ( Just not in 600w mode ) You dont need to buy the highest of the highest I guess. The RTX 4080 consumed 320w max. Your PSU will not be obsolete... I am fine with my Rm750i I bought in 2019 on my overclocked 4080. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATX 2.0 power supplies came out 20 years ago and there have been multiple revisions to the ATX spec since then. Though I'm assuming you're just referring to any power supply that isn't 3.0 as being 2.0. (Jayz2cents viewer?) Your power supply is probably compliant with ATX 2.51 or 2.53. Maybe 2.4 if it's an older model but I don't think MSI has any older power supplies - they're fairly new to power supplies. You didn't give the model of power supply so I can't tell you which ATX revision it's conforming to. The PSU manual might list it. To answer your question; no you're probably not missing much by not having an ATX 3.0 power supply. I'm sure your power supply will last you many more years.
