I’m assuming those PSUs aren’t in the same machine, but knowing you, who knows…?
Do you know what kind of load you actually run at? I expect you run a pretty high end system - does the heat output bother you at all?

I just checked my gaming rig and it has the 850W Corsair in it, so I should be set with the pin adapter.
I have this insanely large Corsair case under my desk, and it has 5 fans and tons of room for airflow. It doesn’t really seem to heat up my office like the Antec mini-tower I have my productivity rig upstairs in does.
@Alistair, not sure how much power it’s actually pulling. I9-9900X, video card, two spinning drives and a few SSDs, plus a PCIe USB 3.0 card. Now you have me curious. I’ll have to dig up the old Kill-o-Watt I used to use when I was writing hardware reviews and check… It’ll be interesting to compare the GTX 1080 I currently have in there with the RX 30x0 I end up with.
I don’t think that’s a terribly demanding GPU as high end goes… so come the 3090, you might see a bit of a jump? The PSU was probably twiddling its thumbs a bit anyway :)
Wow, you basically have the exact same rig as I do, right down to the 1080FTW until it died (now a Strix)

The 1080 FTW had actually been retired to my productivity/multiplayer rig, with a 2080Ti in the gaming rig for the past two years. I just sold the RTX card after seeing others in this topic do the same, to fund the new one. Now the productivity rig’s sporting a GeForce 660.
Fun fact: at 1366x768 and with most details set to low, you can actually run the new MS Flight Sim at a playable frame rate on the 660 after you dismiss the “are you crazy trying to run on this hardware?” warning. It sort of looks like one of the old Novalogic voxel simulations, but it works. :)
@Ginger_Yellow, very cool! After years of working in tight mini-tower cases, I love the room the Corsair affords when I make changes, and the cooling’s amazing. Cable management’s great too. I was not looking forward to the thought of having to re-string a new power supply, though, so I’m really glad that it looks like existing beefy supplies will work okay with the adapter.
Does anyone know how the wacky cooling solution is supposed to work? This image from their puff piece doesn’t tell us anything as far as I can see…
Well its obvious, isn’t it?

I want a 3090. Tweakers.net published some specs and the wattage difference is only 30 between the 80 and the 90.
Now to see if I can afford one…
Umm thats the link:
@stusser has to come talk us out of getting RTX3090’s now. :)

So 8 to 10 to 24? That progression makes sense…
Can someone translate this from English into layman’s? How does the 3070 compare to the last generation?

Honestly, I don’t think we really know yet. The cards will be officially announced very soon and then we’ll have actual benchmarks to go off of, not rumored specs and speculation. Even if the specs mentioned are correct, we still don’t know how it stacks up to the previous generation since a core on a 30xx will likely be faster than a core on a 20xx card.
That story just mentions 8-pins, but absolutely nothing about the storied 12-pin.
The rumor is that 3070 ~= 2080ti at $599. And with the 3070 using gddr6, supposedly, as I hoped, the price gap rumored between the different cards makes sense to me. Between that and the power consumption on 3070 supposedly at 220W, everything is falling perfectly into place
That sounds like quite a deal compared to the last generation!
Indeed, we all want to believe.
Because they are talking about custom boards (the info presumably came from aib partners). The 12 pin thing is only for first party FE cards

320w for the 3080, wow. Even the lower-end model is a toaster oven.
So where do you think the new consoles relate in terms of graphics performance to the 3000 series from Nvidia ? Hypothetically as nothing is released yet. :P
PS5= ?
XSeriesX= ?
