MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Gaming X TRIO review - Hardware Setup | Power Consumption

Hardware Installation

Installation of any of the Nvidia GeForce cards is really easy. One time the card is seated into the PC make sure you claw up the monitor and of course whatsoever external ability connectors like six and/or viii-pin PEG power connectors. Preferably become yourself a power supply that has these PCIe PEG connectors natively as converting them from a Molex Peripheral connector in this year and historic period is a no-go. Buy a proper ability supply, calculate/estimate your peak power consumption for the entire PC, and double that number for the ability supply.

Download new NVIDIA GeForce drivers hither

Once done, we boot into Windows, install the latest drivers and later a reboot, all should be working. No further configuration is required or needed unless you like to tweak the settings, for which you can open the NVIDIA control panel.

Ability Consumption

Permit's have a look at how much power depict we measure with this graphics card installed. The methodology: We have a device constantly monitoring the power draw from the PC. Nosotros stress the GPU to the max, and the processor as little as possible. The before and after wattage will tell us roughly how much power a graphics card is consuming under load. Our test organization is based on an eight-core Intel Core i7-5960X Extreme Edition setup on the X99 chipset platform. This setup is overclocked to four.20 GHz on all cores. Next, to that, we have energy saving functions disabled for this motherboard and processor (to ensure consistent benchmark results). We'll be calculating the GPU power consumption here, not the full PC ability consumption.

Measured Ability Consumption

Heed you, the system wattage is measured at the wall socket side and there are other variables like PSU ability efficiency. So this is an estimated value, admitting a very good i.Below, a chart of relative power consumption. Once more, the Wattage shown is the carte du jour with the GPU(s) stressed 100%, showing only the peak GPU power draw, not the ability consumption of the entire PC and non the average gaming ability consumption.


Power consumption	TDP in KWh	KWh toll	2 hrs day	four hrs day
Graphics card measured TDP	0,315	0,2	0,thirteen	0,25

Cost 5 days per week / 4 hrs day	€ i,26
Cost per Month	€ 5,46
Cost per Twelvemonth 5 days week / 4 hrs day / €	€ 65,52
Cost per Twelvemonth 5 days week / 4 hrs solar day / $	$ 76,66

Hither is our power supply recommendation:

GeForce RTX 2080 - On your average system nosotros recommend a 600 Watt power supply unit.
GeForce RTX 2080 Ti - On your average system we recommend a 650 Watt ability supply unit
SLI -On your average organisation we recommend to add 275 Watts on the to a higher place values. if yous plan to tweak/OC, add another 100 Watts.

If you are going to overclock your GPU or processor, and then we do recommend y'all buy something with some more stamina. Too, at half the PSU load (50% usage) your PSU is the most energy efficient. There are many proficient PSUs out there, please do have a wait at our many PSU reviews equally we have loads of recommended PSUs for you to check out in there. Let's move to the next folio where we'll look into GPU heat levels and noise levels coming from this graphics menu.
