Nvidia RTX 3XXX Series announced

I see people in other forums [not Indian] upgrading the PSU so that they can run 3080.

Until now, 750W was required only for SLI but this "need more power" shit is getting out of hand.

They obviously have much higher TDP -of 320-350W and expect 3rd party cards to be more. 750-800W would be the sweet spot for efficiency.
 
I don't think we will be needing a 750W GPU, use outer vision and put in Radeon VII which is 300W and put in rest of specs. For me it cam around 562W on load which means the 600W is suggested so 650W PSU is sufficient. If you are short on budget just postpone your plans of PSU upgrade to later.
 
the smart decision would be to wait for new lot of PSU with dedicated cable with nvidia pin ,the current lot would require the converter cable etc ,And nvidia have put power verification chip on the GPU power connector chip to do realtime power verification thats a good step so wait.

750 is mentioned so that the PSU runs in its prescribed efficiency range

what i would buy is 850 watt you also have to consider that over time the efficiency of PSU will get less due to normal wear .i know many reputed brands have 10 yrs warranty ,but it does not cover warranty of other parts. so dont cheap out on PSU

The point is if you get into the internals of the 750W, it says that it depends on other parts as well, I have 3600 but will be pairing a 3080, fine with a bottleneck. Mostly I will be using ML DL workloads where CPU is not much in use. It will be fine if I have non-daisy chained 8pin connectors coming from PSU directly. Which I can sleeve and make myself.

Not everyone is aware of his/hers workload ,that was a general statement and not all PSU`s are made alike
 
And it is not necessary that board partner would use new connector they would be using multple 8 pin power connectors ,nvidia just came up with that connector to reduce the footprint whether it succeeds or not that needs to be seen ,the FE cards will have converter included in the box so no worries
 
In my perspective. 12 pin connector is good but 45-degree angular placements in killing me. the strength is a big concern. And also the Wattage is pretty high. Needs to wait for reviews. Don't want a Radeon VII scenario altogether.

Please look at the video of GamersNexus which show how much PSU power you are wasting. Provided you are using a properly rated PSU. which you can look into PSU tier list at Linustechtips forums.
 
 
can you check on linus tech tips the power requirement of GTX 590 and compare it with recent RTX 3080 /3090 ,did i make mistake in getting 850 upfront

what my system specs over the years initally i7 930 x58 board with 6 rams ATI HD5850 later gtx 590 than a xeon x5670 which was oced like hell ,now on ryzen 1 gen with a 1070ti , 7 to 8 HDD and optical diskdrive, 7- 8 fans and thinking to upgrade to new ryzen and a gpu

I saw that too but i don't know how much this exactly translates to real world. So we have three dates till now.
17 September / 24th September and 2nd week of October for RTX 3070.
 
Will be waiting for the benchmarks by reviewers for the true performance from the Nvidia RTX 3XXX Series. It's a great time to be a gamer with the new Xbox S priced at $299 in the US (Might be around the 30k mark here) and all these new reveals yet to come this year end.
I'm more interested at what AMD has to offer with their GPUs this time around to compete with the hype of the 3XXX series and the overall features showcased. The top-end Radeon™ RX series was riddled with driver issues and still is for the most part, need to address these issues this time around if they want better sales.
