[SOLVED] 600w EVGA for RTX 2080 ti

[Slumy__57]

Just picked up a prebuilt, and I'm wondering if the PSU it came with is good enough. The system configuration is roughly as follows (case fans/cpu cooler aren't exact, but should be similar as far as power draw).

Should I be planning on upping the PSU asap? Per EVGA's website, the 2080 ti requires a minimum of a 650 watt power supply, however, the pcpartpicker configuration is saying the system will draw just over 400 watts. I read a few articles here regarding the power draw of individual components, and I came up with a little over 500 watts (over-estimating for some of the smaller stuff). Obviously I don't want to take any unnecessary with this system given the price, and I have a EVGA 750 G2 in my old build that I might be able to swap over (old build is currently being used by a family member).

That is a REALLY junk PSU to be pairing with a $1500 video card

Get yourself a Seasonic Focus 650, or swap in your 750 G2.

I was a little surprised by the pairing. I guess that's the nature of the beast with prebuilts though. Cut costs on some of the "background" components to maximize profits. I was still surprised it wasn't at the very least a higher wattage PSU.

In terms of the actual wattage number its fine, if it was a good PSU like a Seasonic. Quality on the other hand, not so much.

I'm not too familiar Seasonic's PSU lineup. What would be your budget-less recommendation for this system (without going overboard on wattage overhead)?

Seasonic Prime Titanium 650. I have the 750w version, its the best PSU you can buy.

pcpartpicker is saying that pc's output is about 400w which is equal to a minimum of 550w psu on a more than 90% load if u fully maximize your pc's performance on a rough estimate, however if 650watt is the requirements for your system, that psu will load at around 80 % which should be enough, id recommend to get a better quality psu e.g superlower 700w or better but its fine for now dont be in a hurry at least in 1 week

Seasonic Prime Titanium 650. I have the 750w version, its the best PSU you can buy.

I think I'll just go ahead and pick one of those up when my brother pays me for my old rig. Thanks for the recommendation!

Wanted to update this; upon taking the back panel off the PC for the first time, I realized that the vendor gave me a different PSU than they listed in the item description. The actual PSU in the PC is this:

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153395

I'm going to assume by the price of this item/lack of reviews that my situation is not changing, and I should still get a new unit ASAP, would that be correct?

Better than the BQ but still not something I would recommend in such a high end rig.

Junk, replace it.

Yet another update, I had to send the entire unit back to the company. The 2080 was unfortunately among the broken RTX batches, and it started artifacting and crashing in every game. I thought it could be the PSU, but I figured I'd just send it back while it's under warranty. I brought the PSU issue to their attention, and they acknowledged their mistake in putting a 600w PSU in the system, and offered to upgrade it. I asked for either EVGA or Seasonic, but they didn't have any in stock, and offered this instead.

Is this one any good? Or should I still be looking into a Seasonic unit?

Did not review well. Its not as bad as the EVGA one, but not exactly the best replacement either.

Yeah, that doesn't look promising. I may run it for awhile though. I have a 1 year warranty on all parts, and their customer service has been excellent so far. I think I'll still plan on upgrading in the near future. Thanks for the help. That should be the last update (hopefully).
