[SOLVED] RTX 3070 and 750w PSU ?

[Real_4]

so i am planing on getting https://www.ebuyer.com/1419134-asus...EnGpFp1uB-_dVSKzARKln0SRNIbeYbVRoCAg0QAvD_BwE
also curently using the https://www.overclockers.co.uk/seas...w-80-gold-modular-power-supply-ca-06u-ss.html will the card be fine also using 2 ssd 1 m.2 hyper ryzen 5 3600x 32gb DDr4 3600mhz and b550 Asrock Extreme4 / 4 Fans inside my case and Cpu Watercooling 1 pump+Radiator+3 Fans as i am not sure if that psu would be enough Thanks

How old is the PSU listed above? What GPU is it powering? Any other prior GPU's it powered during it's lifespan?

I'd ask you to look into a higher wattage, similarly (reliably)built unit with 850W or more at the entire system's disposal due to the RTX3000 series having transient power spikes.

 

[Real_4]

atm i am using the 1080 and its only 2 years old psu before it was powering 1660ti


Also forgot to mention my friend is using 5 5600x and 3070 same model on his 750w psu and he got no issues same power supply model but older so i was not sure thats why i want to verify it before purchasing one and have more opinions also i did calculate currently wattage usage is 395-400Watt also did cheack on with the 3070 that it would jump up to 495-520Watt i did use seasonics website to calculate all what i have currently pluged in but not sure how accurate that is.

It's a good quality PSU.
750W PSU is fine for RTX 3070.

 

[Real_4]

ill be in touch planing on getting the 3070 after xmas hopefully the price will drop more

 

[punkncat]

Nvidia suggests a 650+ quality PSU. The one you have should be fine.

 

[Real_4]

also is that a good card choice ?? or should i get something else ? Thanks.

 

[punkncat]

The current 6000 series are priced pretty well, but you would need to look 6800XT or better to be (nearly as) fast or faster than the 3070. I have not tried to look at the 7000 series that releases today? soon?

 

[logainofhades]

Actually the RX 6800 non XT is, on average, faster than a 3070.

found this one ? https://www.ebuyer.com/1134379-asus-radeon-rx-6800-xt-tuf-gaming-oc-16gb-graphics-card-tuf-rx6800xt-o16g-gaming?utm_term=&utm_campaign=PLAs||Components||Graphics+Cards+AMD||Med&utm_source=adwords&utm_medium=ppc&hsa_acc=4863007528&hsa_cam=9526425831&hsa_grp=115630197820&hsa_ad=485331626871&hsa_src=g&hsa_tgt=aud-1776929021884😛la-1066270764897&hsa_kw=&hsa_mt=&hsa_net=adwords&hsa_ver=3&gclid=CjwKCAiAv9ucBhBXEiwA6N8nYCQgDy7Bcxg8QnOwBHHu-NLUSsgCwEgf_gDkYr3bDbKK7LRY8e3tKBoCbRsQAvD_BwE also i never rly had a amd card so that would be interesting also Asus amd are good enough or different type ?

 

[Real_4]

also i might have to switch my case still using the https://www.overclockers.co.uk/nzxt-h440-mid-tower-case-black-red-ca-135-nx.html ok iv measured current card is 42 mm width and the rx6800xt is 55mm so prob will have to get a new case as well ;[

 

[logainofhades]

Width of the card shouldn't be an issue, with that case. Length and height are what you need to look at.

 

[Real_4]

so not for width ? if so then perfect

Don't forget though, if raytracing and DLSS upscaling is important to you, then the 3070 might be the better option. The 6800 RT performance is a good bit behind, and used on the 6800, FPS can tank.

 

[Real_4]

to be honest dont rly matter much for me if raytracing or dlss as much but time will tell ^^ most times i play co-op games and survival games so now the question is 3070 or rx 6800/RT. also i was watching some yt about comparisment and looks like the rx 6800 xt outperforms the 3070

Then the 6800/xt is better value for you then

 

[Real_4]

and its on pair with 3080 so gona stick with rt 6800xt for now also i play a lot in 1440p and hopefully amd will release their version of DLSS and Raytracing soon for current cards 😛 Thank You all for help ill post back when all is sorted but still debating about my case not sure if its gona fit the card in as i might have to bend the power cables to the card ;[ https://www.overclockers.co.uk/nzxt-h440-mid-tower-case-black-red-ca-135-nx.html as it has the side panel were the drivebay was size > 406.2mm (without HDD cages) but should i care about width or only length and height ?? Thanks last question this is for now and would i have to buy Gpu Holder Bracket or something to uplift the gpu from hanging down als oshould i care about Shader Processing Units ?? or not rly .

 

[Roland Of Gilead]

You're welcome! Happy gaming

 

[Real_4]

sorry for late question what Card Support Bracket i should get for the rx 6800xt to stop it from saging down ? any ideas Thanks thats sturdy and works perfect non rgb 😛

 

[Real_4]

Should be ok.

I use one similar to this, gives fine adjustment to height https://www.amazon.co.uk/One-enjoy-...2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9zZWFyY2hfYXRm&psc=1

 

[Real_4]

this is the one i was looking at just now as well but it has magnet bottom right ?? will that not mess up my 2 ssd that are on the same area when i do place it ? or will it be fine Thanks
