Hey guys,
My 2080 Ti FE is due to arrive today and I am faced with the reality of potentially losing my dear MSI GTX 1080 Ti Lightning Z...I have a secondary box with a 5820K (OC'd to 4.2GHz, AIO water cooled, 64GB RAM, 3 SSDs - it used to be a VMware ESX box) and an EVGA SuperNOVA G2 550W PSU (https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438053). MSI says 750W minimum but c'mon (https://www.msi.com/Graphics-card/GeForce-GTX-1080-Ti-LIGHTNING-Z/Specification).
It has had a 1070 Ti and currently has a 1080 in it with no issues. Am I pushing it a bit too far with a 1080 Ti? I have bigger PSUs in the garage but I am damn lazy.
Thinking of keeping the 1080 Ti versus selling...and instead selling the 1080.
Thanks!
EDIT: turns out it's not out of the question: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-3503422/550w-psu-gtx1080ti.html and
