Is 650W PSU enough for RTX 3060 Ti OC and GTX 1050 Ti OC?

[Frizles]

PSU: Seasonic G12 GC Series 80 PLUS® Gold 650W

 

NOTE: If everything goes right only one GPU will be running at a time. 
 

But I would like to know if for some reason both would be running could the PSU handle it.

 

Thanks in advance.

depends, whats the cpu? If its a 13900k then probably not. But if its something like a 13600k/13500 or lower then it should be fine

Should be fine, especially if you undervolt. Assuming you don't have power hog CPU as well.

Recommended PSU for a 3060ti is 550W, so a Seasonic 650W is more than enough. Both at the same time, it would depend on your CPU at that point. If you have a relatively low wattage CPU, then it'll be fine.

 

The GTX 1050ti is really a 75W card, but you'd be potentially drawing 150W from the PCIe bus which most motherboards don't like doing. Motherboards sometimes come with a VGA 6pin for the PCIe bus to run multiple GPUs since most GPUs will draw at least some wattage from the PCIe bus. If your GTX 1050ti doesn't have VGA AUX power connectors like a 6 pin, then its drawing all its power from the PCIe bus. The RTX 3060ti will draw up to 75W through it as well, which might cause some issues depending on your motherboard.

I'd probably steer clear of having dual graphics cards on a budget board like that. Were you planning to use the GTX 1050ti for encoding or such? RTX 3060ti should have a more than capable NVENC encoder that shouldn't hinder performance, I feel like you'd get more performance not having a second GPU blocking proper cooling and/or putting up to 75W of thermal energy into the case.

[jaslion]

Both gpu's will always be on all the time. So you'll have the extra 30/40w of then sitting inactive but on.

 

However that seasonic is totslly up for that so go for it whatever it is you are doing.

I don’t know if I’m allowed to say that on the forum but the 1050 ti would be for the stuff.

We dont have the same "brigading anything but gaming" policy as... Basically at this point only r/PCMR and r/BuildAPC.

 

For crypto mining, you wont see any good ROI especially considering that ETH is out of PoW pool, and many coins also following the Proof of Stake model retroactively.

 

For AI, your 3060Ti would do a far far better job if your model supports Tensorflow, you wont even need that 1050Ti to support it.

isn't that the apple emoji? Isn't he going to do hackintosh?

on Hackintosh then OP shouldve gone AMD. Nvidia on Hackintosh is about as stable as Hackintosh in of itself, its not stable.

yeah

[chocolatekarma]

Together they total 275 watt TDP.  So as long as your CPU is 125-140 watts max or lower you will be fine.

Yeah I plan to get an AMD but for now I only have a 1050 Ti laying around and I don't have anything else to do with it.

You do know that a hackintosh basically does not work with nvidia right? Apple killed nvidia support from the 700 series onwards.

yeah. I made it somewhat work on Monterey with OCLP which still doesn’t give proper graphics acceleration but for that few not graphic intensive mac only programs I use it’s perfectly fine, until I get an AMD card.
