Hello. IS any difference between Seasonic Prime Ultra Platinum vs Seasonic Prime Ultra Titanium? I ask because in shop there isnt Titanium is not in stock.
Only Platinum is avaliable. So buy Seasonic Prime Ultra Platinum 850W?

PC:
9900K,32GB RAM,RTX 2080 Ti
 
Afaict the main difference between platinum and titanium is that titanium is defined at 10% load, while platinum is only defined at 20% load and higher. This matters, because many systems only consume a small fraction of their PSUs rating at idle.

While true, the counter-point to this is that when you're only using say 50w, a few percent of efficiency either way is really negligible overall. You do want to watch efficiency under load of course.
 
Titanium is more or less a waste of money for most people. The amount of power you will save versus the price difference, will take a very long time to recoup.
