GTX 1080 AMP's PSU Requirement

[Lobialkon]

Hello everyone!

Quick question, i have a Seasonic 620W PSU (https://seasonic.com/product/m12ii-620-evo/) and i've read around that the GTX 1080 uses one 8pin cable and that it needs at least 33AMP's on it, is that true?

If thats the case, my PSU wont be able to handle such card, right?

Thanks in advance!

nvidia spec is 180w max gpu. 500w min for the power supply.

If its the s12II or m12II, yes. Either way, any 500 and above as well as bronze or more will work.

The Zotac GTX1080 is a highly overclocked version that needs two 8 pin pcie power connector.
A normal GTX1080 needs only one.

Your psu is a very good one and has the necessary 8 pin power leads so it should run.
Your psu can deliver 48 12v amps which should be sufficient.
