Hello,

I've been playing and ejoying RDR2 with my Samsung Ultrawide (49") @ 5120x1440 @ 120Hz and my Gigabyte 1070 G1 but the GPU can't deal properly with high game settings. I would really love enjoying this game with higher settings and thought about an extra 1070 in SLI (which in some tests looks equally performing as a 2080ti and costs much less).
Problem is that I'm not sure if my PSU together with my set up can hold it.

Here my set up: https://pcpartpicker.com/builds/edit/partlist/?userbuild=2WzYcf

For what I've tested on PSU calculators (https://www.newegg.com/tools/power-supply-calculator/ ) 590-600W would/should be enough. Is it safe with my Corsair RM750i?

Thanks a lot for your help.

You should be fine. However, it could cause your psu to be louder because its pulling more power. Other than that you should be good. Wouldn't hurt to get a new one though.

Thanks for your reply!

When playing my fans are also running quite loud, so I guess one more won't hurt 😉
Cool to hear that it can handle it
Have a nice day
