What PSU for Titan X?

[Maletone]

Hey there! I would like to know wether I should get an 860 Watt PSU or a 600 Watt PSU? I have heard PSUs handle best at around 50% of their maximum power supply. If you need more info I'll be running an intel i7 4790k and 16 GB of RAM with 1 260GB samsung evo and a 4tb Seagate. Thanks!

600w is fine for one card, if you are considering SLI'ing it in the future, 850w or more is ideal.

I am for sure considering an SLI config once the price of a second Titan X goes down..does this mean I should get the 850W?

That is true but I would play it safe and get a good quality 750 and be done with it... Antec, EVGA or Seasonic, very god brands!

850w is just barely going to be enough for sli titan x. You should have 900-1000w to be sure. Watch the video to see for your self🙂

the titan Z is a weird exception, but no titan ever dropped below the launch price of 1000 bucks (excluding the ridicules titan Z of course).

if you want to SLI and not to buy another PSU, 850 is ideal.

also, don't use video's that are on vessel, not everybody have an account. wait until the youtube release to use it. I wanted to use that video, but I did not because of that same reason.

A 600W power supply such as one manufactured by Seasonic or XFX is ideal.

If you are guessing, go somewhere else to get justification, don't do it by giving wrong advice here.

"Torture – Full Load

While Nvidia reports the GeForce Titan X’s TDP at 250W, it never actually reaches this figure under normal circumstances. In fact, not one of the usual stress test applications pushes the card past 247W. With the above gaming loop average at around 224W, this typically leaves about 25W left for further overclocking. Sure, that doesn't sound like much, but we are working in the realm of hypothetical here."


600w is the absolute maximum you need for a single titan x system, it will even leave good headroom.

For SLI, add another 250w tops. You end up with 850 which will still leave PLENTY of headroom. The card WILL NOT struggle and you do NOT need 1000watts.

If you go SLI, do it now. The price of titans does not drop in retails, it never has and never will. At most by $100.

Trust me when I say you WON'T buy a second $850+ card when there will be MUCH stronger, cheaper cards around at that time.

Yes...with one difference. I am disappointed that you recommended perhaps not the optimal solution this time.

"You were the chosen one...you were meant to defeat the darkness (idiots who think they know about components)...not become it!"

Bit harsh, mostly kidding ;-)

Hahahahahaha I know...I know I`m not proud of myself but I`m the sort of person who thinks going OP with a PSU can`t possibly be a bad thing...

I have left my master in disgust and must now return to my place of birth, the depths of the dark lord himself(The guy from the Dr. Pepper Ads in the 70`s)... I shall execute myself as is customary to my people, buy injecting myself with melted mars bars and playing a tasty Dragon Force riff on my Casio Calculator until I expire...
