Not sure if this should go here or in Power Supplies
Picked up a Inno3D GeForce RTX 3090 iChill X3 a couple of weeks ago as part of a new build, but whenever I put it under a heavy load - especially in VR - the whole PC powers off suddenly.
I've got an 850W power supply (Bitfenix Whisper M), greater than the recommended 750W so I thought it would be ok, but do I really need a 1000/1200W PSU instead, or is the card drawing more power than it's supposed to? It hasn't been overclocked
I've run GPU-Z and it seems to be drawing way more than the 40W per rail the PSU is rated for, but perhaps I'm not reading it correctly
Am I right in that I just need a better PSU, or is here anything I might be overlooking?
