Hey everyone,
I am about to start my PC build containing eventually 4 1080 GPUs, however am having second thoughts on my PSU and am nervous about running into issues with my current EVGA 1300 PSU. To start off, I am aware that the Nvidia 1080 is not SLI capable, however I am using the PC as a dedicated Octane Render/ Cinema 4D Workstation and the software makes use of all the CUDA cores linearly.
All the online PSU calculators say I should be fine with the EVGA 1300 and the build I have below, however I feel like it might be cutting it close since some of them estimate a total draw of 1100-1200. Initially I plan to start off with 2 of the MSI 1080 Seahawks and eventually put 2 of the upcoming Titan P cards in coming out in the late fall. Down the road, I want to make sure I don't have an overkill PSU (would upgrade to the 1600 EVGA PSU) and I'm also nervous that my wall outlets at home can't handle that large of a power supply since I live in an older building (can anyone advise on this/ speak from experience?)
Any advise would be appreciated. I know a lot of people tend to go with 1500/1600 PSUs however based on the calculators and the lower power consumption of the new generation Nvidia cards, I'm not sure I necessarily need that much, although I could be wrong. Here's the build:
