psu PSU power draw concern

[Leviathen]

Greetings.

 

I have an issue I have been trying to figure out, I am currently running a 1080Ti and a 980Ti as a Physx card with a 850W PSU, I am concerned if the PSU can handle another 1080Ti in SLI at full load. 

 

Thanks anyway

Why are you running a 980ti, just get rid of that and your fine.

so you're asking if 850 is enough for 2 1080Ti's and a 980Ti?

i don't think it will.

 

but why the physx card tough? cards these days can handle physx just fine. sometimes even better then a dedicated physx card!

Yeah no the 980Ti will be sold to a friend if I upgrade to the SLI setup

ooh that makes sense.

 

850 should handle 2 1080Ti's just fine. i think even a 650/700 PSU could handle it, but i might be stretching it a bit

Then its enough.

are you sure because when I put my system in a Power draw calculator it comes out to over 900 Watts

those calculators are pretty inaccurate. my system with a Titan X and a 4960X only draws like 450Watts under load. you really should be fine!

Ok hopefully it will be enough ordering right now, btw how do you get your set up to show up at the bottom of the post ?

That is a stretch. 1080 Tis go well into the 300W range ...

so you are saying it's not enough ?

I am saying 650 would be 'hela' retarded and 700 would be a far stretch for a 1080 Ti SLI system. This is not meant to sound insulting.

EDIT: About the 850W PSU. That is about the minimum I would go for with SLI and probably not what I would personally be comfortable with running 1080 Tis on.

Wait no no no, I did not want to make it look like i was insulted ? How did you come to that conclusion no what I was asking is if the 850W will be enough ?

I didn't realise youa re the OP and was refering to the person quoted when adding the insulting prevention disclaimer

Just get rid of the 980 Ti.... I don't think it even makes sense as a Physx card as it uses so much power and PhysX is kinda worthless TBH

Ok so guys you where right it is working perfectly and this system is a beast ! Thanks for the help
