[Tiebar90]

So i had recently purchased an MSI GTX 2080 Trio and i noticed on the recommendations it says a 650W psu. Well I have a 650W psu. Is this a problem? not enough? should i upgrade? my computer is obviously working right now with the card and psu but i dont want to burn it out.

my specs

gtx 2080 trio msi
500GB SSD
250GB SSD
1TB SSD
650W PSU
h100i pro cpu cooler
32GB ddr4 ram
32 inch LED 1440p 144hz curved monitor.

A quality 650w will not cause an issue with a 2080ti. A cheap 650w may fail and kill the card.

What is the make and model of your 650w power supply?

That has a good chance of not working...

The quality matters more than the wattage.

The Thermaltake smart series is not great. Not something Id pair a 2080ti with. 650W is fine, but the quality of the Thermaltake smart series is poor.
It ranks as a just don't buy on the LTT PSU tier list:https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1045610-new-psu-tier-list/

A quality 650w is fine.
These are 2 models I would consider upgrading to. (1 is best, 2 is not bad)

that is the 850W. I can get on sale right now for nothing with reward certificates. is it comparable to those two 650Ws?

Slightly better, but the ones that @remixislandmusic suggested are better. (especially if they were with more voltage, as that would make way for future upgrades)

It's not bad, but not as good as the Seasonic, which is even cheaper.
This is a good unit, but it is a bit pricy. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/corsai...ar-power-supply-black/6229604.p?skuId=6229604
