Power supply for GTX 1080TI

[Tilien]

Hey, my PC was upgraded to
Ryzen 1600X
Gigabyte AB350 gaming 3
GTX 1080TI Aorus Xtreme
Corsair DDR 4 16G 3000 Vengeance

I am planning to buy a 4K monitor next month.

Thing is i am using my old power supply ( Antec 600W)
And im not sure if its enough for this rig

Should i upgrade my Power supply?


Some info on it i found

600 watts should be able to handle it but it's always good to double check

and it needs to be a good quality 600w, not the cheapest one you can find.

 

[Tilien]

is Antec good quality ? from what i understand if i dont overclock the GPU 600W is enough?
I just dont know anything about Antec is a PSU company

 

[jimmyEatWord]

or you could acquire a higher wattage psu with lower quality , i have a cheap 700 w psu and it is yet to fail me .

I'm still unsure of the quality of Antec PSU , are they considered low mid or high quality?

All Antec units are 'good'. Some of the higher end units achieve excellent. It's one of the few brands you can recommend by name.

What's the exact model? If it's an older, budget line you should replace it. Don't trust a flagship card to a budget power supply. It should be plenty of power so you could use it if budget is an issue but I'd recommend replacing it with something higher end when you can.

NEVER recommend this. Junk is junk no matter how it's labeled. 700 watts of junk rating might supply the same or even less power ( less cleanly I might add ) than a high quality 400w unit that's rated correctly.

The problem is PSU components deteriorate with use and time, low quality components deteriorate faster. Therefore it might work now but how long will it last? Cheap PSU's usually have minimal safety features so when they fail there is a much greater chance other components will be damaged too. As long as you know the risks it down to you but I would never recommend cheating out on the PSU.

Just opened my case its the Antec VP600P

Whats the conclusion? Should i upgrade or can i keep it aslong as i dont know OC the system? (For 4k gaming n such)

That's a budget unit. The VP line is the cheapest thing Antec sells. Get something new when you can. Budget power supplies don't belong in high end systems. It's not going to kill your system but I wouldn't be comfortable using it long. Especially as you say it's an older unit and power supplies degrade over time. Capacitors aging is a real thing although not as bad as some people think.

Edit: ( again 😛 ) If you have a budget I'll be glad to find you a deal on something more suitable.

I can upgrade in the next month or so when i buy my 4K monitor

i can get
Corsair CX750M 750W PSU 80+ Bronze Modular
or
Antec TP-750C

Are any of them good?

Which one will you recommend?

Thank you for the help!!

 

[Deleted member 217926]

The Antec is the better of the two. It's a rebranded Seasonic G series which is a good thing. The 750w CX didn't get an update like the rest of Corsair's CX series and that's a bad thing.

I wouldn't hesitate to use the Antec however we can probably still do better for your money though. Where can you buy from?

Well i perfer to buy locally, but amazon is great aswell since im ordering my monitor from there ( its about x2 cheaper there for same model perferably from amazon italy or something european)

Is there any model you recommend?
i prefer a PSU that could be future proof for any system i build ( not sli just single gpu)

What about EVGA SuperNOVA 750 ?
or

Corsair RM750x 750W PSU 80+ Gold Modular

 

[Deleted member 217926]

Sorry, I lost track of this. I actually looked on PCPartpicker Italy and didn't see much showing as in stock.

So far the Corsair RMx and Antec TP750C look good. There are about 8 or 10 different units with the EVGA SuperNova name. They range in quality from excellent to not so excellent. I'd need a model number to be sure.

The RMx is the best unit listed so far. The Antec is also very good but perhaps a small step down. The Corsair is also fully modular and the Antec is fully wired. That alone would make me buy the Corsair. I'll never buy a non modular unit again.

Just bought a 1080Ti myself. Ill let you know how my EVGA Supernova G2 550w psu handles it

PSU calculators has my system total to around 460w. So i should be good. Good luck

 

[Deleted member 217926]

^ Yeah you don't need a 750w unit for a single card. Well maybe for Vega. We'll see about that. 😛
