RAGE MODE!!!

What power supply would 8 of these cards need if the maximum PSU available is 1650 or 1800W?

 

[Apache14]

PSU ratings will be taking into account that most PSU's are really REALLY bad.

A good 650W - 700W should be fine for most non OCed systems (R5 3600 / 5600X or i5 10600k)

 

[Lytic]

The Nitro+ is smaller (length) than the Pulse

 

[SonicSW20]

The 850w recommended is just to allow for people running bargain basement PSU's that will **** themselves if they run anywhere near their rated output. You'll be fine with a good quality lower wattage PSU.

 

[Hotwired]

There must be an error in Sapphire specs.
RTX 3080 320-watt + Core i9-10900K requires a 750-watt PSU.

Why does Sapphire want 850W PSUs for cards which are supposed to be more power efficient than RTX 3080?

Generous assumptions that the customers may be pimping their rigs with overclocks, fans and RGB.

Then add a generous margin above the maximum realistic power draw because the more overspec the PSU is the quieter it will run.

 

[humbug]

Recommended PSU is irrelevant, the only thing that matters is the power consumption of the GPU, a 300 Watt GPU will not require anything more than a high quality 600 Watt PSU, if you buy a £40 no name none efficiency rated PSU it will need to be "850 Watts" but who in here is daft enough to do that?

The recommendations are over the top because they have to assume you're an idiot and are going to power your £1000+ PC with a junk PSU. Don't do that.

More info on that Sapphire card if people want to take a look.

850W PSU minimum... interesting.

Looks very like the RX480 if it were 3 fans instead of 2 and minus the LEDs

To power a 300 Watt GPU and something like a Ryzen 3000 or 5000 CPU this is the lower limit. This is acceptable. https://www.overclockers.co.uk/be-quiet-pure-power-11-600w-80-plus-gold-power-supply-ca-12y-bq.html

What if you have a Threadripper, a 3 m.2 drives, a 4 ssd and one mechanical hdd plus like 7 case fans? If 140mm ones

Then you want something with more watts, same if you're running an Intel CPU. https://www.overclockers.co.uk/cors...nze-power-supply-cp-9020123-uk-ca-23a-cs.html

You can run an M.2, an SSD or two, a few fans, a 6800XT, a 5900X and an AIO on the BeQuiet PSU perfectly fine

i have a EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G2, 80+ GOLD 650W

i think im going to try and get a 6800xt, are you saying my PSU is enough for it?

 

[LoadsaMoney]

They recommended 1000w for the LC Vega 64, yet people were running them on 550/600s.

Theres no way they'll need more than the 3080s/90s.

Agree with you they do over compensate for the rubbish PSU's out there ..a 2 x 8 pin card should not be using more than 375 watt

Yes, that's more than enough. Very high quality PSU.

I have an EVGA Supernova 650 GS.

Ryzen 3600
2070 Super (overclocked)
1 mechanical drive
1 M.2
2X SSD
AIO
1 120mm Fan
3X 140mm Fans

The PSU rarely gets warm enough to spin up its fan.

If you're unable to be available perfectly on the hour because of work, it doesn't make any difference if it's 5 seconds, 5 minutes or similar. You've missed it.

Toilet break and order it on your phone,

 

[uscool]

damn almost want to buy the LIAN-LI PC-O11DX Dynamic Mid-Tower so I can vertically mount these but I hear the temps are worse

 

[Nablaoperator]

But the effective bandwidth of 6800 depends on the assumption that the Infinity Cache will still maintain a 58% hit rate in mining like it does in 4k gaming currently.
For perspective, if cache hit falls to 0% the effective bandwidth of navi drops to 512 GBps.

Some interesting read here:
https://www.vijaypradeep.com/blog/2017-04-28-ethereums-memory-hardness-explained

Currently the DAG size is 3.49 GB, so a random cache of 128 MB can achieve a steady state hit rate of 3.7% on infinity cache compared to 58% in gaming workloads

ok thanks for this

I ran a 3900X + FuryX(300W card) + 4*8GB RAM + 7 SSD's on my 650W G2, now have a 5700XT and it works fine.

 

[humbug]

ok thanks for this

No problem, your PSU is one of the best 650 Watt PSU's you can get, you don't need to worry about it unless you're going stupid with an overclocked 10900K and high end SLI / Crossfire.

You pay for what you get and you got one of the best on the market.
