Question RX580

[Voidseeker_1]

Quick question. Will the RX580 be bottlenecked by an FX8350?

 

[COLGeek]

Yes, but all systems have some sort of bottleneck.

Just make sure your PSU is sufficient to power the GPU and don't worry about it.

Thanks. I have a Thermaltake 600W which is plenty

What specific TT PSU? Details matter and they have a few stinkers.

It's a TR2 which I know are old but this one seems newer

This model.

That is a poor quality PSU and I would not recommend its use. If you look on its label, there might even be a manufacturing date on it. If so, how old is it?

That's a garbage group regulated PSU with terrible voltage regulation. It's closer to a 500w unit than 600w. So no, it's not recommanded to use this thing with any GPU that requires additional power.

I can't find a date

Thanks for letting me know! So your saying that I should get like an EVGA 600W or Corsair or something. Do you by chance know if AGV is good? They aren't that expensive but it kinda concerns me.

What is your PSU replacement budget?

I appreciate it but right now I'm just looking at a different 600W

There is no functional difference between a 600w and 650w PSU. Your system will only draw the amount of power it needs. The vast majority of available 600w PSUs are no better than what you have now.

Just something to be aware of.

Alright. I appreciate the help.
