Is 850watts enough

Hello! I currently have a 850 watt power supply. I recently got a 9800x3d paired with my GPU I’ve had, a 3080 and was looking to upgrade to a 5080. I was wondering if I could keep my psu? Or should I upgrade the power supply as well if 850 watts won’t be enough.

 

Thank you in advance!

Welcome to the forums!
Probably fine, but what make and model PSU are you using? And how old is it?

I currently run a 4090/5950x on a Seasonic Focus 850

5950X/4090FE primary rig  |  1920X/1070Ti Unraid for dockers  |  200TB TrueNAS w/ 1:1 backup
