FSP Launches New 2400W PSU to Address Bottlenecks in High-energy Computing
Press Release by btarunr Today, 04:04 Discuss (3 Comments)
Ahead of an expected surge in demand for high-energy computing, FSP Group, one of the leading global power supply manufacturers, has launched the FSP2400-20FM, the latest version of its high-wattage redundant power supply.

The FSP2400-20FM is the third generation of FSP's flagship product based on the CRPS industry standards. Going from 550-watt in previous models, the latest iteration pushes this even further, with 2,400 watts of power on tap—all within the same small frame of its predecessors. It retains the same compact size of previous models despite a much larger capacity. This saves customers time and money since installing newer and physically bigger power supplies usually involves high material and utility costs.

Its smart features match the FSP2400-20FM's added capacity in a small frame. It is critical to sensitive industries thanks to its Power Management Bus (PMBus) protocol, which is used to regulate power and manage components within systems and is implemented by industry leaders. This allows the FSP2400-20FM to communicate with various computer components from other manufacturers seamlessly and efficiently. PMBus also enables features such as automatically increasing and decreasing power depending on energy demand.

This automation prevents system failure and data loss in specific scenarios in facilities such as data centers, which might require a short burst of peak power beyond capacity to keep several dozens or hundreds of hard drives running.

It also has other features such as the in-system firmware update function and Smart On function, making the main power module turn off or on for best system efficiency.

Powering the "Edge" of Technology
The high capacity of FSP2400-20FM is also suited to the expected dramatic increase in power requirements in high-power computing industries and sub-industries over the next few years. This comes as sectors such as AI deep-learning, edge computing, and newer sub-industries, including cryptocurrency mining, all require powerful and energy-hungry graphics cards, which in turn would require high-capacity power supplies like the FSP2400-20FM.

FSP2400-20FM belongs to a complete family of CRPS products for companies of any scale, suitable for use in world-class data centers, workstations, or other automation applications. With its compact size, smart features and protocols, the next-generation compact PSU is bound to become another consumer favourite in FSPs line-up of products.

This all day long. Is 10gb enough? Think the main question is, depends how much it costs :D We're talking minor perf uplifts here for x2 the cost, if not more.

Yeah 2gb VRAM and a couple of % performance is certainly not worth paying double for.
 
The only people that still care about the vram of the 3080 at this point are the bitter ones who didn't manage to secure one at MSRP.
 
While playing Far Cry 6 with HD textures and ultra settings I've had VRAM warning messages with the 3080 10GB (I think 11GB was the recommended minimum) so if one comes through the business account at less than retail I'll consider one.

I kinda think the 6800 with 16GB VRAM from AMD was actually a decent value GPU comparatively around the middle of last year when I had one of those.
 
It's confusing to see a 3080 12gb beating a 3080Ti, literally seems the faster card is the 3080 12gb for some reason.

I get the 3080 12gb is overclocked, but overclocks are miniscule.
 
Need to see more reviews not just one set of graphs. Anyway it seems pointless, differences are small plus one is OCd and more expensive. Seems a no brainer to not get the 12GB lol.

£649 sounds so cheap at the moment.

It does.

I still remember thinking "this is a lot of money to be paying for a GPU" when I attempted to buy a 3080 at its RRP of £649 from OCUK, on that day that will forever live in infamy.

A pandemic, world wide supply issues and 12+ months later, I was glad to be able to get a 3080 Ti at its RRP of 1049 + postage.

How times change.

Could be worse, 5.5 million people have died in the world from Covid 19 alone. :(

I think they've fixed the vram issues for Nvidia in Far Cry 6, or so people said a patch or two ago. The 6800 has been quite a good card overall but the lack of RTX power has been evident in a few crucial games for me. It's really important for AMD to start achieving parity in RT performance next go 'round at least, because a DLSS alternative doesn't seem to be on its way so we'll have to rely on XeSS.

3080FE for £649 was a steel, and not that difficult to get hold of so long as you knew where to get stock notifications. I bought more than one..

No it’s not a steal, it’s still overpriced at £649.

People have just been conditioned into think they should cost more money while Nvidia makes supernatural profits on them due to there being no real competition still. Yes, AMD exist but their product is not as feature rich and they can’t supply the volumes to challenge Nvidia even if there wasn’t a global shortage.

It's easy to forget that the 2080 RRP was like £750 (if I recall correctly); the 3080 RRP was extremely competitive.

I pretty sure I paid £370 for a 7800gtx in 2005, which accounting for inflation is around £565 today. So fe 3080 is good buy.
