It's a 910w system, but is NOT modular. I'll be upgrading my 2080Super soon to a 4090. Should I upgrade the PSU as well? If so, what do you recommend? 2
Johnny Dioxin Posted October 13, 2022 Posted October 13, 2022 (edited) Regarding my 850W PSU - I just read a post in the FS forum where a guy is doing heavy tests on his new 4090 and he said his 850W PSU is easily coping - so no problem for the 4080 it would seem. Edit: and I just read another about a benchmarking site that used exactly the same PSU as mine and had zero issues with all their 4090 benchmarking tests - as well as a couple of guys reporting their findings also using the RM850x.

zildac Posted October 15, 2022 Posted October 15, 2022 850w is borderline depending on the rest of your system. Also bear in mind you'll want 4 pcie power connectors, DON'T use splitters. Also the quality of the PSU is a big factor too. 14900KS | Maximus Hero Z690 | ASUS 4090 TUF OC | 64GB DDR5 6600 | DCS on 2TB NVMe | WarBRD+Warthog Stick | CM3 | TM TPR's | Varjo Aero

cordite Posted October 18, 2022 Posted October 18, 2022 So the new 16-pin connectors are not reliable, and the adapters aren't either? Am I understanding correctly? It's not like next gen psus are attainable by the average consumer anyway.

cordite Posted October 18, 2022 Posted October 18, 2022 The 4090s are *way* more attainable than next gen psus. I haven't found anything on those other than marketing materials.
