- RTX 3080 & 3090 Power Supply Requirements - Minimum PSU Wattage Leak
Recent RTX 3000 leaks have been suggesting that the RTX 3080 will have a 320W TGP and the RTX 3090 will have a 350W TGP. With these much higher power limits many are beginning to wonder if their power supply will be able to provide enough power to these new Ampere GPUs. The question on everybodys mind seems to be is will my 650W PSU be able to handle the RTX 3080, or do I need to buy an 850W PSU.

You were fine.
I remember when the forums were clowning people with 1000w+ PSUs in 2020, who's laughing now?
It's even more dumb to mock people for quality PSUs because the slightly more expensive higher wattage (usually gold or plat) PSUs tend to run more steadily with a lower draw, so a more expensive higher watt higher efficiency PSU will end up paying back the extra you spent by saving on your electric bill AND be more reliable the whole time.
@@JB-xl2jc Just from an engineering standpoint an overkill PSU will last longer because it's barely being strained, I have a corsair HX1000W from 2008 that powered a i7 920 at 4.2ghz with no power saving 24/7 for a decade and it's still going strong now. Only replaced it this year for a new build with another 1000w corsair just as a precaution.
I got 1200 psu 5 years old from my sli build. it's actually useful now.
Me. 1000w is STILL ridiculous overkill if you're not going to SLI AT LEAST 2 high end cards like 2080 ti's, alongside full custom watercooling, etc.
The reason we were clowning people is you would see idiots who would get an Ryzen 3600x, 16gb of ram, and a 2060, and then buy a 1000w PSU.
I got a 1600w psu, muhaha

Stevebomer you’re fine until you’re going 10900k max oc. Overclocking the 3080 or 3090 is not worth it this time around.
Me with my 500W powersupply: I too like to live dangerously

Lol 😂 same
Everyone told me I was crazy to get a 850 "You'll never need that" HAH! I showed you, fools! >:D
A PC with an 8700k and an RTX 2080ti consumes around 450W. The 3090 will consume ~100W more than a 2080Ti, and it'll run fine on a 650W PSU. You guys need to stop acting like this is the most power-hungry GPU ever. There are cards like GTX 590, GTX Titan Z, HD7990, etc that are more power-hungry than the 3090.

@@BonanzaPilot did u see the doom eternal preview
Just letting everyone know, 750W recommendation is based off of a 3080 and 10900k pairing. It probably includes headroom too. PC Gamer's 10900k 5.3 ghz OC peaked at 331W, and at the absolute peak for Tom's Hardware's 1080 ti ROG Strix OC'd was around 350W. At absolutely the worst case scenario (or best depending on how you look at it), these two combined pushed to their limits combine to 680W. Unless you're stretching each part to their absolute limits, you'll not need something greater than 650W. At that point if you're running a 10900K and have the gear to push it that high, you'd probably have the money and may have already bought an 850W+ PSU.
I see the 3700X non-OC in stress tests hitting a total system power draw of 150W in reviews with AIDA64, slap a 3080's 320W TDP and add another 150W just to be super safe and you get 470 + 150 = 620W minimum when you're stressing both the 3700X and 3080. This is the extreme worst case scenario and if you're planning to push your parts this hard, you most likely know what you're doing and will have a properly equipped PSU. The average consumer will NEVER be stressing both the CPU and GPU to these peak wattages in average scenarios. Stress tests put completely unreasonable load on the given part, which will never translate to real world load and power consumption.
GamersNexus even made a video on this recently where they tested a 10900K and 2080 ti at 100% load on both and he even got lower system wattage than my numbers! Where I got 620W from worst case, he got around 530W with ACTUAL worst case benchmarks. In games, consumption was even lower at somewhere in the 400s (still 10900k 2080 ti). Watch that video instead of one where someone just plugs in numbers and spits out a recommendation.
Point is, these recommendations should always be taken with a grain of salt. Guru3D recommends a 500W PSU for a 1070 ti, and I have ran it easily on a 450W high quality unit (SF450 for anyone wondering) with no issues even with a slight OC. Please please please DO NOT cheap out on the quality of your PSU, whatever wattage you choose. Look at the PSU tier list on LTT forums. I can vouch for Seasonic GX Series, Super Flower Leadex III's, and Corsair's SF line. Really anything on the A/B tier will do you justice. I'm not saying don't buy 750W+ units. Give yourself peace of mind and go for the 850W if you want, because yes, PSUs are the most efficient at 50% load. Even then for a high quality unit like a 650W Leadex III, efficiency ranges between 90% - 92% at between 50% - 90% load. That's only a 2% difference. But if you're the guy running a 3600X or 9600K and you're not doing or are planning to do anything crazy and you have a 650W PSU, don't scramble to go grab an 850W PSU for your 3080 because chances are, you will be fine.

Good power supplies have multiple fail safes to make sure it doesn't catch on fire. If you go over the max wattage the PSU will shut its self down. If your GPU pulls more than the PSU can handle, the PSU will simply shutdown.

Unless you are heavily overclocking your components pushing them far past their efficiency curve (frequency vs. voltage), your 650w should be fine for a 3090 stock with any normal consumer desktop CPU. Obviously I don't know exactly what's in your PC, but I'm willing to bet it most likely doesn't have something like a Threadripper or something consuming insane amounts of power.

@@poingpoing6840 I hope that's fake.
I think people forget you can always undervolt and underclock the gpu if needed. In most cases you end up with a slight loss in performance and get much better efficiency. I'm not sure why everyone seems to forget this. I'm willing to bet you can drop 50 watts or more off a 3080. If a 3070 is 220w... Then there's plenty of headroom for undervolting on the 3080.
There's a reviewer here on youtube that dropped 100W off a 3090 and got it into the 270-280W range. I myself typically have my 3070 undervolted to .8v and run right around 160-170W rather than the stock 220+.
Of course, the 40 series kinda murdered this way of getting more out of your card in the face.

A PC running an 8700k and an RTX 2080ti consumes around 450W. The 3090 will consume ~100W more than a 2080Ti. So, a 650W PSU is enough.
EVGA G2 was excellent, the G3 was phenominally good, the G5 is meh' since the tariffs forced EVGA to stop using Super Flower PSUs. Hold on to that G2.

What ignorance. I am running an RTX3080 on a 600w for 7+ months now. Overclocked 24/7 right out of booting it up. System is pretty rock solid stable on whatever you throw at it.
But is your PSU loud when gaming?
Three months ago I started getting ready for my new PC build. I couldn’t find a power supply anywhere from 500 to 1000 watts cause they were all sold out. So I settled on a 1200w from Be quiet. I guess things worked out in my favor lol

This comment was copy pasted into every single RTX 3000 video I've seen
damn i gave the max settings to the wattage calculator and they recommended me an iron man statue
Honestly, you need a simple formula called Watts Law, also known as P = I * E - which is really easy (P = Power; I = Current, and lastly; E = Voltage). It is all about Current and Voltage to calculate power properly.
1. Also, you can transpose this formula P = I * E to calculate Current and Voltage. Okay lets look at your 12V rail, your power supply company (for Marketing purposes) is usually factoring your current rating by a factor of x 10. So, For example - when you look on your power supply and see the 12V rail that is labeled at 50 Amps this is usually 5 Amps * 10 = 50A. This equals 12V * 50 Amps = equals 600 Watts of power (remember this Part later).
2. What we need to do - is find out what is the current (or Amps) that our RTX 3080 Card will draw? So, Lets transpose our Watts Law Formula - 320W (P) divided by 120 AC-V (E) = 2.6A. That's how much current our RTX 3080 card will draw Under Load - and probably a max of 2.9A - to 3.2A not sure if we would see this, but let's be safe.
3. Many systems today idle at .87 Amps to 1 Amp - Now add that to our load current 2.6 Amps + .87 Amps = 3.47 Amps on our 12V rail. But you can make bump that to 3.8 Amps to 4.0 Amps worst case scenario with the RTX 3080.
4. However, NVidia does not know what types of systems people have - Many older systems with Lots of HDD's and Fans and tons of other stuff you have connected will obviously draw more current - Hence the 750W recommendation! NVIDA just wants the end user to be cautious.
4. So, my Mini ITX with Ryzen 7 3700X O/C'd to 4.0GHZ on all cores and 3 SSD'S and an M.2 drive - and Enermax Liqtec120X liquid cooling + (2) LED RGB and 2 other fans idles at .87 Amps or 106 Watts + 3.2 Amps RTX 3080 card worst case = 4.07 Amps!
**I have a 650W power supply with a 12V Rail of 54A which is actually 5.4 amps = 648 Watts - I am going to use this first and if I notice anything weird or strange - I will upgrade only if I experience power issues. If your Power supply has something like 45-48Amps on the 12V rail - I would upgrade to something like 54Amps or higher on the 12V rail, when you do this, the wattage will naturally be higher!
5. I definitely liked that he used OuterVision PS Calculator and it came up for me with 39.3 Amps on the 12V rail - which translates to 3.9 amps - Remember the KEY here is 12V Rail and what value it has for current! But, if you have tons of stuff attached then choose the 750W or an above wattage power supply.
I hope this helps this thread!
Me: laughing and smoking together cigar with my 1000w psu
Just a reminder, external battery banks and battery backup utilities are usually around only 100-400 watts. Some are up to 800 watts, but you're going to be paying a kidney for those. If you need a backup battery incase power goes out, this is something to consider.

@@GraphicallyChallenged Be grateful for the prices you got in the states. Here just the RTX 2080 is over $1000.
I'm aiming for a 3070 at most, so chill.
Now if only GPUs were actually available.
When I built my pc with a 1000 PSU and for my son and 2 nephews I used 850 PSU people laughed at me and called me dumb. Then I advised people to get at least 850 PSU they clowned me and said I was dumb. Hmmmm who’s laughing now.
After using SLI I have never used less than an 850W PSU.
Graphically Challenged good decision. I also have an itx build along with my other build and that has a sff 750 PSU. The only reason it’s 750 is because at the time there was no bigger sff watt than 750. If there was a 1000 sff PSU I would have bought that regardless the price because in the long run it would have been cheaper than replacing and going through the headache of replacing.
I think the 3000 series is an anomaly, the power draw of components usually goes down or stay the same. So, there's no reason to freak out if your PSU is between 600-800W
I’m going to try with a 750 WATT fingers crossed...

Have you lost your mind 850 Watts isn't enough! It is actually been tested then an RTX 3080 and a 3090 can pull between 400 and 500 watts by itself. And if you run too low of power you risk damaging other hardware. Keep in mind your CPU TDP and then also consider the wattage to run your drives and your RAM because believe it or not ram takes a significant amount as well. And splitting your power going into your GPU which I believe each single connector is rated for 300 w and now you're adding a splitter which actually causes heat so much so that it could fail and cause a fire just because of the power demand. Do not split your power delivery going to your graphics card if it can be helped at all!!! You can actually sneak by with an 850 watt but it's about a 50/50 because some have black screen and not had enough power and caused a reboot and we all know that when you hit the limits you can kill things. So while 850w might be okay I wouldn't go any less 1000w seriously that's not using a calculator but real world test.
Yeah. My 850w Gold has been constantly restarting recently. It can't handle my 3080 and 10900k. I agree with you.
@@GameFanaTICK386 Some people have no problem running 3080 with 650W
A PC running an 8700k and an RTX 2080ti consumes around 450W. The 3090 will consume ~100W more than a 2080Ti, and it'll run fine on a 650W PSU. You guys need to stop acting like this is the most power-hungry GPU ever. There are cards like GTX 590, GTX Titan Z, HD7990, etc that are more power-hungry than the 3090.
Edit: Thank you GN for making this video. ruclips.net/video/X_wtoCBahhM/видео.html
Is enough but not recommended. Spend a few more dollars buying a 750+
I have a 650w 80+ gold power supply and want a 3080 20 gb. I am upgrading my gpu before everything else which means it will be a bottleneck, but that means the other stuff doesn’t draw a lot of power. Do you think it would be enough?
It will likely be enough power, but you won't have much headroom at all, and I wouldn't try too much overclocking.
But does your CPU consume 65 watts or 125?
older stuff doesnt necessarily draw less power...
Honestly, i'd say no. Even if it runs, your PSU will be taking damage over time.. Meaning suddenly your system will give out on you.
750W should be bare minimum if you're thinking of picking up the 20gb 3080.
I'd wait until you can upgrade both PSU and GPU so you dont run into any issues just to be on the safe side either way!
@@Skyflairl2p taking damage? that's not how this works, that's now how any of this works. reality don't operate on game logic.
Thanks for the video!
I bought all my stuff like 3 months ago not even knowing how much power the 3090 would require. Luckily I bought a 850 PSU!
It depends, If it’s seasonic it’s enough, if it’s corsair you’d better throw in garbage
didnt think to link the wattage calculator... brilliant!

Just found your channel keep up the great work :D finally subscribed after being suggested it numerous times
Thanks!
Now the recommended power supply is 750 watts. There are 3090 units with only two 8-pin power connectors. So what the hell is really going on???
300 Watt 10900k
400 Watt rtx 3090
700 Watt total, yeahh you need 1000 Watt PSU
Btw who Will use intel? It doesn't support PCIe 4.0. use ryzen instead
Kingpin and Galax HOF 3090 will put out atleast 500 watt yup u need 1000 watt to run.

I've tested the power draw of my computer while under load and it was around 250W on AVG... with digital power meter.

3 Storage Drivers.
and etc...
Yeah, 750W should be more than fine.
My PC (R9 3950X + GTX1070) needs about 350 Watt (according to a digital power meter) while Gaming and also in Blender, so no need for extreme power supplies.
Rest is same as you got, AIO, some SSDs/HDDs etc.

So I have a 500watt . Should be okay too then
@@bboyalanleung123 For Sure.
Thanks for the video! Got me a 700w platinum (silverstone) beginning of the year. Gonna roll with that when I get the 3080.
My 750 was not enough after I over clocked the cpu. Save some budget for a power supply, your computer will thank you.

Nah thx bro - I'm sticking with my seasonic platinum 650w and I'm getting the 3090 to pair with my 9900k (no OC) NH-D15 cooled, 32gb, M.2 SDD - No way a stock 3090 pushes more than 350w - good video though!
You'll definitely be fine. I have an OC'd 3700x + 4 x 8GB RGB memory with an OC'd GTX 1080 Ti (~320W) and an RX 550 (~50W) with an EVGA 650W B3. I've run this setup for about half a year now without once having any issues even while stress testing. Adding up the 100% load power consumption with all my parts brings be to around 562-570 watts, leaving a headroom of well over 50 watts. Any decent quality 650w power supply should be able to handle that fine, and I'm assuming that a 80+ platinum Seasonic is waaay higher quality than my budget EVGA 650 B3.
@@aviroblox6624 Why are there people in this comment section acting like a decent 650 can't handle the 3080?
@@colemin2 I have no idea, even though the video makes it clear that it could even handle the 3090. If you were planning to get a new PSU anyway, get at least a 750. But if you have a 650 one, there's no need to upgrade just yet.
@@thenonexistinghero With Moore's Law ending I fear we'll be seeing 1000watt rigs by 2030.
@@colemin2 I have a 500watt...do you think it can run?
I bought 1,000W a couple of years ago, it's better to have the surplus headroom to protect your system to be honest, plus it allows more headroom for bigger GPU upgrades later down the line.
Will it work for something let’s say like a 3060? Or is that too much power
@@knottymullet4725 You'll be more than alright with that in theory, I'm running an RTX 3080 on mine with the entire system including the card overclocked and not once has it cut it out on me.
What you need to watch is the _quality_ of the power supply. Just do your research, never just rely on someone's word, or you'll be relegated back to the console space.
Nvidia recommends a 650 Watts PSU for the RTX 3070 and a 750 Watts PSU for the 3080 & 3090.
For proof Do this:
1. Go to this website www.nvidia.com/en-gb/geforce/graphics-cards/30-series/?nvid=nv-int-cwmfg-64629#cid=gf73_nv-int-cwmfg_en-gb (Nvidia's Official RTX 30 Series Page)
2. Scroll down until you see 'Compare Specs' and click on it.
(It should bring up a Small box with all of the Gpu's info.)
3. Scroll down to the bottom to see how much energy each card uses (Est)
Huh well damn
Thank God for that Indian dude who gave me an EVGA 1050W as a bonus on his Craigslist deal
Using TDP to calculate the power supply requirement is not reliable because they said that the rtx 30 series can draw up to double the tdp power at peak time. if you wanna overlock it then 1000w power supply is absolutely needed
I had a 1000W psu since 2015, seems like it finally pays out lol
With overclocked 2070S and 140% power allowed on 3070X, it had 380-390W steady power and 430W peaks during tests, and 320/390 during gaming. I'm going with the same PSU to get 4700X\4800X and 3070S. My hope goes to 410/460W figures.
For anyone with a 600w or 650w PSU. Undervolt your cpu and gpu. Look up 2080ti undervolt, you barely lose performance from undervolt. You can run 100 watts less and get 95 percent performance
I sized up 650W as enough for anything I'd actually want to run, but ... THERE'S NO WAY I'LL run a 325W+ card, I don't want to have to run the a/c to game and I want a quiet PC without expensive cooling products.
The consoles are managing 4K with a total power budget of 300W, so it's not unreasonable to expect a GPU board to run at 295W or less.
Nvidia/AMD should make new efficient cards with volume, like the CPU manufacturers do, rather than boutique products like the 20' series that few gamers actually buy
Me with a 1600W PSU:
*"They called me a madman"*
Sounds like I’ll be sitting pretty with my 1000 watt Corsair for years to come good to know 🤣
So you reference a website to calculate power draw but dont list it in the description of the video so we can just click to it?
who cares, can't get ahold of this generation of cards anyway.
600 w enough for rtx 3070 ?
yeah
@@benster383 are you sure or just saying it
@@zonzyyy6192 it is but to be sure i would take a 750 watt
Lol im sticking with my 750W PSU for the 3080.
Will we be OK?...😧
@@RellshouldBsleep yes
No, people are just being stupid, an edge connector provides 75watts a 6 pin is 75 watts with an 8Pin providing 150watts....almost all the 3rd party 30** series cards are going to be 2x8pin connectors allowing a max draw of 375watts, which no normal user will EVER see.
With the exception of some Blender or workstation type uses you will never see max full wattage draw, the exception being unless you are OCing and constantly maintaining that OC bypassing the variable clock rates manufacturers use to sip power when power is not needed.
Most people unless running SLI and benchmarking or using workstation software will never see more than 550watts full power draw, In which case you do need the overhead, otherwise you want to stick to peak efficiency levels, any z(Intel) or b/x(AMD) platform users just at max need 750watts anything more is really overkill, and that should keep you covered for all foreseeable future hardware keeping you in your curve and accounting for time degradation of conversion, workstation users on Threadripper and Intel based products using the higher end feature sets boards like the Asus Dominus and or a Zenith really should be running no less than 860watts with a recommended 1200watts.
Like I said before the only people that really need to worry are the SFX users in ITX chassis that are using something like a 3900XT+32GBRAM+2-4SSDs with a HDD, that tried to pack an enthusiasts power computer into the smallest package and really didn't bother going above the 500watt PSU as they could already not have much overhead and may trip on a full burn.
Seasonic's calculator on their website is broken. When I filled everything out (including a 3090) it recommended me an 850w PSU, but when you go to their recommended PSU page for the RTX 30 series, it says a 1000w PSU if you have a 3090
They are going to up the wattage because higher wattage means more money for them. Honestly, eight core and below can run on as low as 650w with oc cpu and undervolted 3080 and 3090. 750w for peace of mind. It’s when you’re going super high end like ryzen 9 or 10900k / 11900k that you probably will want to get a gold 850w as those are priced reasonably.
I watch your all videos ❤️❤️
Thanks!
I make that same face when a girl touches me
The cheetah and creeper in a room situation huh?
750 is more than enough. I am running 3950xt with 3080 ROG with 64GB Ballistix 2X M.2 on a ROG Crosshair MOBO and a Noctua big ass fan and a couple of case fans and leds. XMP enabled. the wattage consumption when running benchmarks barely pass 500W. A water-cooled scenario should draw 30 more watts
750 watts for 3080 and 850 watts for 3090 if running top end amd or Intel cpu due to ridiculous power spikes (750 watts is possible if you undervolt, but many buying a 3090 probably care less to undervolt it). You would probably be fine with 650 watts for a ryzen 7 and below or older 8 core and below Intel cpu as long as you don’t oc the gpu.
I've got a 3080 Ti with an RM850x PSU, and everything has been fine so far, but I also have a bunch of RGB, 6 RGB fans, and one M.2 NVMe drive
ASUS ROG THOR 850W Platinum got for free... well looks like i'm covered with my setup and either 3080 or 3090
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO I LOVE YOU!
Thanks for watching!
I purchased a Corsair AX850 PSU for my system when I got my hands on a RTX 3090 FE. The 3090 has been tripping over current protection on my PSU....best I can find online is that the spikes in voltage from the 3090 cause the PSU to trip it's OCP and shuts the entire system down. I have a Corsair RM1000X on the way to see if that resolves the issue for me.
Guys, it is not about what Watt number is on the box. Look for how your efficiency factor of the power supply is specified. One 80+ Gold/Bronze 600W is better than a any China 800W PSU. Buy smart, don't get into panic mode!

LAWL, "and now i will use this website and talk about it"
Well, this is just an annoying video. Not the content, of course, but rather remaining of my growing fear that my current PSU at 750 won't cut it. Right now without too much tweaking, I'm recommended 650 W, probably 670 with my fans. I am absolutely going to overclock. I don't know how the O.C. will work for now, but looks like I'm going to be be dangerously close to my max.
Me with 2 exposed copper wires as a power supply.....
Oh, looks like my 750W power supply will be used as an emergency backup
Im using a 500 watt on my 3700x and 2080 super do u think the worst case scenario is my psu would give out? I have a 750m corsair I just havent had the time to swap them out with work. Ive been using it with the 500 watt no problems yet for a week so far
Why wouldn't you run a thousand watt 80 plus platinum power supply on your $4,000 computer?
only 1% of pc gamers can afford rtx 3090
I used to have a miniITX PC: Core i7 7700, 2x8GB 2400 mhz DDR4, GTX 1070, an SSD and a HDD and it worked with a 400w 80+ bronze SFF PSU. Later bought a new PC. Ryzen 9 3900x, 2x16GB 3200 mhz DDR4, RTX 2070 Super, 2xNVME SSD for the future upgrades went with a Seasonic Focus Plus 650W 80+ Gold. Now for a VGA I would not buy an atom reactor. Just insane.
750w is still great...
Sooo this new PSU - GPU cable? Are they going to provide that for us?
I would like to know that as well
i got a 600 watt power supply but my cpu is very very old with a 125 watt TDP
My friend is one of those you need a crazy high wattage power supply people.
He has a 750 watt gold rated with a ryzen 5 3400g and no graphics card no nothing but yet he still needs a 750 watt gold rated psu.
So should my RM750 Corsair should be good right?
A 500 watt power supply can run anything you put it in. Components are more efficient nowadays. Old school power supplies or still the best. All these ratings and certification is nothing but a bunch of marketing bullshit.
