well no it depends on how much wattage it has and if its bronze rated i rly wouldnt use it. Gold rated or nothing for me personally. They much more efficient and last hell of a lot longer. I have 750w and that should be perfectly fine for RDNA2 for 3000 not too sure u may have to use a wattage calculator which is built into pcpartpicker
Well to save more money, that’s what is in my mind for a possible PSU upgrade, 750W and 80+ gold is good enough because I don’t think there is no need to go Platinum or even Titanium when you’re just going to play games mostly at 1440p and not 4k in the first place.
imo its pointless to go plat or titanium as its cheaper in the end to just get a seccond gold standard and its amazing anyway. I do recommend semi modular, full modular to me is pointless, psu also does not affect what res u play at. The gpu will most likely still pull the same draw from it.
Yeah I know, I was kind of not on my right mind when I typed that xD but yeah I will keep that suggestion in my mind.

Hahaha its all cool XD
For anyone looking to buy gpus i still recommend to wait for the amd launch and a few weeks after. Then we will see what the “true” cards of this gen are. I would hate to see people miss out on the supers due to initial hype.
Also if anything nvidia reduces prices a little at amd launches

What is commonly called 8-pin is the PCIe 6+2 Pin.
For most system configuration with a single GPU, a 550W and up PSU is enough.
Depends on application. 80plus Titanium in particular is the only certificate in the series that has an efficenty requirement for 10% load. So when you have a system that idles a lot, it may be worth it.
From my understanding, with three RTX 3080/3090, people may want to step up their game regarding their PSU beyond that

When you go i9 10900k and 3090, you should consider 800W, yes.
This is an interesting video on the topic. Granted it’s a limited test with only one sample, but still interesting.
Basically, as @MazeFrame said, I would only work if you’re on really high-end, high power CPUs. And even them, if you’re only gaming occasionally, it may as well be fine with good quality 600/650W.

650W is usually where I aim for anyways… but then again, I tend to like to OC. Not going for a 3080 anywho. Whenever I do go for a new card, Cost of a 3070 will be the TOP of my budget, no ifs ands or buts. Not going till after AMD has had a chance get have their say though.

For me i like a solid 750w or 850w. That should easily keep everything in the 50-80% usage. Too bad johnny guru isnt the same any more. Outside of wattage you want stability and safety. I have the real good superflower evga now. Next psu will probably be a seasonic, theyre so damn hard to beat.

I must say the attention to detail they have done is amazing and so happy they made this video. With how much effort they have put into cooling, Huge heatsink, Easy access to cooling, Liquid Metal instead of thermal paste. Im worried that the xbox is going to have cooling issues.
It’s nice to see that my +5 year old prediction has come to be.
New version is bigger that the previous model.

some impressive IPC gains…tho quite disappointed they didn’t have much follow through on the RX 6000 like the event title line indicated. 
this will put a mad rush on the 500 series mobo’s…and it was nice to see Asus update their B450 lineup to be more impressive and compatible. also hints at AMD not having enough 500 series chips available for their partners. I hope other mfr follow suite with a refresh of all their B450 boards.
all I want is a B series iTX mobo with 2x NVMe slots!
