ARCHIVE - *** NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3080 SERIES STOCK SITUATION *** - NO COMPETITOR DISCUSSION

[DTUOHY96]

Just been looking at the strix 3080 product page and they've changed the minimum PSU requirements to 850W. Should I chance it with my 750 (80+ gold efficiency) or just take the plunge and upgrade it? It'll be paired with a zen 3 ryzen 9 so I'm thinking I'll need to upgrade..

Maybe sailing too close to the wind with that one?

Thats what I'm thinking, might just upgrade to a 1000W and not have to worry about it anymore

I wouldn’t bother with less than 1000W personally. If you want to OC in future then there’s headroom but it’s better to be safe with a PSU.

has anybody received a STRIX card yet from OCUK

I've just had to upgrade my case to fit the longer GPU in it... the good thing with that was it's given me more room to upgrade the PSU too so I've stepped up from 750w to 1000w.

From what i've been hearing the zotac kind of sucks.... Here's hoping they fix the issues before Christmas, which is when i'll probably be getting my card (unofficial queue position 112. ordered at 15:29 on launch day)
At least I'll have a 5 year warranty.

You should probably do a little more research and don't believe everything you see and hear on the internet

Don't reckon you will be seeing many changes to the PCB design either

Yeah agree with this personally

You're right, I'll order one tomorrow and be prepared

 

[ALXAndy]

Yeah agree with this personally

It's always been good sense to massively over spec the PSU.

/still running an AX1200 and Platimax 1550w.

The Zotac is fine.

Hmmm my last post was removed just because I questioned OCUK actions in this forum. Seems like they’re policing it more and removing anything damaging. In that case they best remove this whole thread haha.

Asus seem to have upped the recommended PSU to 850w for the TUF cards too. I thought the non-OC would've been fine with 750w, but I guess I might have to upgrade my PSU as well... :/

I have an OG AX1200 actually, love it.

I’ve an Corsair 750w platinum with a thread ripper 1950x have a 3090 on back order. Should I upgrade the -supply also? If so any recommendations?

 

[Four_G]

What???

Yup, says it right here: https://www.asus.com/Graphics-Cards/TUF-RTX3080-10G-GAMING/specifications/

EDIT: Hang on...

* All PSU recommendations are based on Intel® Core™ i9 or AMD Ryzen™ 9 power consumption.
* For more information, please refer to the recommended PSU table at: https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/Accessory/Power_Supply/Manual/RECOMMENDED_PSU_TABLE.pdf
​

Hmmm...

EDIT 2: I'm on a Ryzen 7 3700X, and according to that table, 750w is fine. False alarm! Well, for me at least. Hopefully not many people fun into this issue

Agreed, it's something I've always done as well, apart from my latest build where I've got an 850W but at the moment it's only running a 3600X so don't need any more yet

I'm going for an RM1000i for what its worth. Always used corsair and dont really want to change from that

Today I got my 1200W Thor. The sleeved cables and the included accesories from cablemod are great.
