Lowest TDP GTX 1080?

[Shadow6822]

I'm looking for the lowest power consuming gtx 1080 that I plan on ordering. I just want to know which third party card has the lowest power consumption with watts. I really hope someone can help me.

the best card IMHO would be the EVGA GTX 1080 SC Gaming. It is rated up to 180 watt TDP (which is the lowest).
Any particular reason you are looking for the lowest power consumption on high end card ?

I have a low tier 500w power supply. It's an allied/apex psu that apparantly can explode according to reviews. However I have been using it for a year now with i7 4790k and a gtx 970 and I hear lower tdp 1080s will run 15 watts more than my 970 so I was just wondering what was the lowest. Thanks for the answer

I would do an upgrade on my current psu but I'm not as skilled and am lazy

Man, get a new PSU as well. Check this out: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151093

Do you really want to risk 700$ card with crappy PSU ?
Any chance you can order the GPU and PSU together ?
link your favorite online store and PSU budget if you need help to select one.

I'm really scared to break anything by upgrading my psu only be I've never done anything besides gpu replacements and adding thermal take fans. I just want a psu that can carry a strong single 1080 and be very very easy to install (fully modular) maybe 600 - 750 watts. I'm just scared that if I don't get a new psu my current will explode and if I do, that I won't be able to figure or set it up right. (I'm a neat freak as well lol)

It is very easy to replace the PSU.
An excellent PSU for your system would be:
Corsair RM650x
EVGA SuperNova G2 or P2 650w
all are excellent quality and fully modular - pick the cheapest among those from your favorite store.

i just bought a corsair cx750 watt which is currently being proccessed so i guess im set. I only have one question now. What is the highest but best 1080 with best clock speeds and all round greatest third party card. (lol)

can you cancel the order ?
CX is a budget series that is not intended for the high end systems. I specifically listed models of good PSUs.
FTW or CLASSIFIED versions of GTX 1080 would be among the best cards.
