This is the PSU I have : XFX 550W, 80Plus Gold Certified
Manufacturer page : http://xfxforce.com/en-us/products/ts-series-full-wired...
Will this Power supply be good enough for the new Gigabyte GeForce GTX 980 Ti G1 Gaming SOC ??
It says here that it requires 250W : http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/gigabyte_geforce_gtx_980_ti_g1_gaming_soc_review,37.html
-here is the paragraph about the power requirement :
"Power Consumption
Much like the GM200 Maxwell GPU harbored in Titan X, this GTX 980 Ti is rated as having a 250 Watt TDP, our measurements back that up, bear in mind that this is a peak maximum value under full stress. At this performance level you are looking at a card that consumes roughly 450 Watts for the PC in total, that is okay. We think a 600~650 Watts PSU would be sufficient and, if you go with 2-way SLI, an 850~950 Watts power supply is recommended. Remember when purchasing a PSU, aim to double up in Wattage as your PSU is most efficient when it is under 50% load. Here again keep in mind we measure peak power consumption, the average power consumption is a good notch lower depending on GPU utilization. Also, if you plan to overclock the CPU/memory and / or GPU with added voltage, please do purchase a power supply with enough reserve. People often underestimate it, but if you tweak all three aforementioned variables, you can easily add 200 Watts to your peak power consumption budget."
I worried about if my PSU will be good enough for this card. For example, when I put the card into the OC mode (1241/1291 MHz base/boost) using the Gigabyte's OC Guru software, will my PSU lag or shutdown on itself ??
By the way, I will not manually overclock it, I will just use the OC mode using their application. Hopefully, 550 W gold is enough
Rest of my rig :
i5 4690k @ 4,2 GHz (it uses 88W)
8 GB of RAM (1866 MHz)
Windows 8.1 64 bit.
