The regular 4080 is only 316 Watt  (with a 20ms spike of 371) so even with 850 Watt, that leaves you LOTS of spare power for the rest of the system.

Currently rocking a 850W EVGA Gold PSU. The wattage is no longer future proof. Anything to recommend? Willing to pay more for quiet use. 

 

Thanks.

How do you know that it isn't future proof? But more to the point, future proof isn't a thing with PC's. AND it entirely depenent on what you are running for hardware. 850 watt could be good for decades if you are a mid/low spec gamer. (Not that I would use a PSU for that long)

 

But what you need now, not what you MAY need in 5 years.

I'm looking at those upcoming 4000 series supers, or maybe the 5000 series down the road... 850W gonna cut it with the 7800X3D? Currently upgrading my rig so the situation of the PSU came out.

Well a reference 4090 has a 20ms spike of 500w. That leaves 350w or everything else. And that doesn't include the buffer that is built into the PSU (they can do more than 850w for bursts, not recommended, but a 850 w doesn't sh*t the bed the second that it hits 850w)

Who knows if Nvidia is going to replace it's 12+4 pin power connectors with something less flammable in the near future. I wouldn't buy a PSU with the goal of being good for future upgrades, just for a current build would be more optimal.

Which one exactly? EVGA has multiple 850w Gold units from entry level to high end.

I'd say 850w is enough

You want tobuy a PSU now, but wont use it til the future?

 

So you routinely replace things that work great now, but won't in 10 years?

No I'd install the new one and sell off the other.

You say 4000 series like they are some sort of electricity munching machines.

 

The 4060 uses 120w.
