Given that my rig is hooked up to an LG C9 I have only a few minutes of playing at 4K/120/HDR, but I will tell you that following LG's firmware update, I will always be gaming in that mode whenever a game allows, as it's truly a beautiful smooth experience. I did not expect to enjoy it as much as I did! Otherwise, the card is a beast. It will run just anything well, with the exception of titles like Starcitizen, which runs poorly no matter what hardware you throw at it. The card also runs quite a bit cooler and quieter than my 2080ti ever did. Counting the fan in the GPU itself, I have 11 fans running in my case and the whole thing is whisper quiet! Very impressive! AC: Odyssey actually runs rock solid at 60 (probably higher if G-sync was off, but who cares!) Ubisoft games as such crap on PC so it's nice to run one so damn smoothly. If you still have your backorder in and it goes through let me know. I will buy it at cost from you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedarkstark Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 My card crashes/restarts my pc under load, think my psu cant handle the spikes. Its an 850watt gold but it's a pretty meh brand (cooler master) and it's 8 years old (only saw 1.5 years of usage though). Time to drop another $200 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its an 850watt gold but it's a pretty meh brand (cooler master) and it's 8 years old (only saw 1.5 years of usage though). Time to drop another $200 After troubleshooting since Monday, this is where I’m at too. I have 750w corsair which should be good enough but I keep getting hard locks after a certain amount of time. The psu is also 5-6 years old. If I lock it down so it stays below 300w it seems to last a long time, some stuff doesn’t even crash. But at normal speed I get maybe 30min in Control. Thought maybe I didn’t have three separate pcie connectors plugged into the psu but I guess I do after taking it apart yesterday. I tried everything software and driver wise possible. Its either the card itself or the psu but I’m noticing a coil whine now when under load so I’m leaning towards psu sighhhhh. I do also notice power limit warnings too. Anyone have any recommendations for a psu under $200 that would support a 3080 ftw3 (up to 450w)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepee Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Like would this work okay? Fry's Electronics | WWW.FRYS.COM Raidmax Cobra 1000W 80 Plus Gold ATX Power Supply I could just walk over and pick that one up or Fry's Electronics | WWW.FRYS.COM Thermaltake Toughpower GF1 ARGB 750w 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX PSU Power Supply or Fry's Electronics | WWW.FRYS.COM Thermaltake Smart BX1 750W ATX 80 PLUS Bronze Certified Non-Modular PSU with Hydraulic Bearing Fan PS-SPD-0750NNFABU-1 Cheaper the better as long as it will support the 3080 for like probably a year max because I plan to replace everything besides the card next year.

If its a money issue I can understand this reasoning but if your gonna buy a better one in year just buy the better one now $100 cheap PSU now plus a $150-$200 PSU in 6-12months =$250-$300 $150-$200 PSU now and in 6-12 months =$150-$200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does yours crash all the way to a system reboot aswell? I'm faily certain psu is the cause because of this (windows log critical error 41 kernal power). Mine crashes almost instantly in 1440p in any newish game unless i lower the clocks by an absurd number like 400mhz. I'm going to try to swing by micro center today to pick up a new psu see if it resolves the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im trying 4k/60 and Control especially locks after a few minutes at default speed. It seems unless I’m in the low 200’s wattage I have issues.

I don’t mind getting the $170 one instead of the $120 one or whatever especially if it would actually be good enough to keep in my new build and the $120 wasn’t.

stepee Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Also the other reason I was saying cheaper the better because I plan to replace the rest is that I’m probably just going to do a custom built cyber power or something without the gpu next year so I don’t have to deal with putting it together, so I probably won’t use the psu after that actually. So if that $92 one will work for now then that sounds good to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Vic20 Posted October 11, 2020 Author Share Posted October 11, 2020 I went with 1000 PSU just to make sure that no matter what the draw was, I could still overclock with comfort. @stepee, regarding the 1000 watt cheap unit, go for it! as long as there is a return policy, you might as well see if it flies!

stepee Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 I’m skeptical on the raidmax just because I never heard of them the thermaltake cheap one is actually cheaper tho 750w, but I guess maybe it’s overall better? Im deciding between those two any quick suggestions before I head to frys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 My Corsair 750 works perfectly with the same 3080 so I think 750 is plenty in terms of wattage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Thermaltake isnt my preferred choice but its at least as reliable if not more so then the raidmax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup , if someone was going to reuse the power supply in an upgrade path for the future I would suggest an 850 or 1k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cusideabelincoln Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 @stepee The Thermaltake Toughpower is the best of the three and should be sufficient, but not top-tier. I wouldn't trust the Raidmax one; they are a case manufacturer. Seasonic is your best option like @thedarkstark is going for. Their power supplies perform the best under transient loads (when the system requires rapid changes in load the power supply is quick enough to supply that wattage without going out of voltage spec), and the turbo boosting features of new CPUs and GPUs put a lot of transient load on the power supply - especially the GPU since it uses 3-5 times the power a CPU will use.

Spork3245 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 I would go with an EVGA G-series PSU. G1/2/3 all have 10 year warranties and are some of the best PSUs out there. If you want to buy a Seasonic PSU then just get a Corsair PSU, as that’s who makes them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far so good after swapping out the old PSU with the Seasonic, still need to run more tests but I just ran furmark for 30 minutes and no crashes at the factory OC setting (1800mhz) It was insta-restarting before. @stepee Seasonic has a 12 year manufacturer warranty if you decide to go that route.

Read this too late and got the thermaltake smart one for $92, testing it now, fingers crossed. Hopefully it’ll be good enough for my brief use of it because even if it is the card not my psu causing the crashes, the noise from the other one is unacceptable and this is quiet now. I did try ddu a few times and uninstalling precision and did it a few different ways but never got any positive results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
