Hi all,
I've just got myself an Auros 3080Ti to replace my 2070S. For some reason, I had it in my head it took 2 X 8 pin but it's actually 3 X 8 pin. I've ordered an adaptor to turn two of my 6 pin PCI-E into one 8 pin as I only have 2 X 8 pin. It made me wonder if I should upgrade my PSU as this feels like a bit of a hack and it's old. I've had my PSU since 2013 and it's a XFX Pro 850W Core Edition '80 Plus Bronze'. My spec is the following:

5900x, slightly undervolted
3080Ti
32GB 3600MHz
Kraken Z73 AIO
4 X 140mm fans
1 NVMe SSD & 3 Sata SSD.

I've used PSU calculators and I'm around 650w but thinking it's possibly worth replacing PSU as it's getting on a bit now?

Worth doing as a precaution or keep on using it?
