1000w Gold no good for 1080ti !?

[digitaldreams]

Just upgraded my sons PC from a 980ti to 1080ti.

Now first boot is always to a black screen, switch off and on it boots fine !?. I'm guessing the power supply is struggling with start up current. Specs below...

OCZ ZX series 1000w (gold)
1080ti OC
Asus P5T WS pro
Core i7 extreme 990X
Zalman flower cooler
12gb triple Channel ram
Sound blaster XF-i with front panel
DVD writer (disconnected)
Samsung 860 QVO 1Tb SSD
4Tb hard drive

Wondering if a platinum 1000W would solve the issue ? (one working fine in my PC with a 1080ti)

It could be age and/or component degredation. I wouldn't personally rate the OCZ PSUs but you don't need another 1kw. You'll be fine with a decent 850w like these for example:

Thanks, the last one looks interesting. I tend to go for 1000W though as most are at their most efficient at 50% load, the 1080ti is 250W alone.
