[SOLVED] GPU Lacks Power

[robgallo]

I am finding that my GFORCE 1080 TI 11GB card is not performing as well as I would expect. I do video rendering in Adobe Premiere Pro on PC.

Based on the screenshot specs, am I correct in assuming that a bigger power supply will solve this issue?

what is your current psu

what is your current psu

450w

 

[AlexTheFern]

its barely enough. upgrading your psu might fix it, but you should ask some other people just to be sure.

Yes-sir-ree
450w is far too low. I can't say what you SHOULD get, because I don't know the rest of your system, but I think an 850w at bronze will do you fine. I am nosy about your current PSU, so could you upload a picture?

This is the PSU I am using now.

I have been looking at this one. If the PSU is indeed the problem.

your current PSU operates at 80+ standard, meaning that 500w is an effective 400w.

250w is your load power draw, far too much for that power supply, in addition to the rest of the system, to handle. I saw a 750w at gold on that amazon page you sent, so I suggest that.

PSUs are not 100% efficent and have power loss, a gpu demanding 250w from the power supply does not mean the PSU only needs to pull 250w from wall, it must pull enough to over-come the loss due to it's own inefficency.

That is not how it works. A PSU's efficiency does not affect how much it can deliver to the system. What the PSU can deliver to the system is based on what the power rails are rated for not it's efficiency rating.

Now with the OPs PSU going by its specs it is in effect a 420w PSU as that is what the 12v rail is rated for and it is the most used rail in a modern system and most good PSUs advertised size should be close to what the 12v rail(s) is rated for.

You do need a new PSU. The RMx you linked or the Antec Alex posted should be sufficient but I'd need to know full system specs to know for sure what size you should be running, but 650w is usually the minimum you want for a 1080ti.

What system specs would you need?

 

[AlexTheFern]

What system specs would you need?

psu, cpu, mobo, gpu, storage would be a good place to start

 

[Danra]

What system specs would you need?

CPU, GPU, amount of RAM, how many and what kind of [data] drives and how many and what size case and CPU cooling fans

 

[Danra]

This is a good web site to give you general information about what wattage you should buy. I suggest a Corsair 80Plus Gold 650 watt unless your CPU is something like an overclocked i9 10900K.

I suggest getting a good quality 650w(or larger) psu.

 

[Danra]

Yes, a good 650 watt power supply is what you need. A Corsair or Seasonic 650 watt Gold PSU from the cheapest supplier will be good, amazon, newegg, microcenter and so on.
