Posted: 20:28 - 04 Jan 2018 Post subject: GFX card power query - edit, now upgrade query.. |
|
|
Hola,
Bought an 1070 Ti 8G OC... replacing my radeon, so just thought I'd double check its power requirements. I have an 850W modular so power wise and output wise is OK, but the pins on the power connectors are my downfall.
It requires an 8 pin and a 6 pin.
I have 2 6 pin connections currently, but they are labelled at 6+2. Does this mean I can use one of them as an 8 pin, or do I need to find and 8 pin to 8 pin, my PSU has 8 pin outputs, so I could buy the cable if needed.
Assuming its this one...

At first I suggested 6+2 pin as well, but then realising this might not work as intended and deleted the post. 6 pin = 75W, 8 pin = 150W, 6+2 pin = ???. The PCIe x16 = 75W.
1070Ti = 180W
Just like with motherboards that have 8 CPU power pins, your computer will work if you only plug in 4, but if you have a power hungry CPU, the CPU will crash or underclock at high load. The same should happen to a GFX card, I suppose. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

From those two I'm gonna say the i5 wins, speaking about gaming. The Ryzen 7 is a good chip, but not quite suited for gaming, call it wasted potential with some performance hits in various AAA games.
See this: https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i5-8600K-vs-AMD-Ryzen-7-1700/3941vs3917
EDIT: IF all you want is perfect 60fps performance, then even cheaper chips would do. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

Old Thread Alert!
