The TDP is somewhere around 320 watts, so calculate how much power all your other components draw and go from there

Luke · Answer

You definitely have enough power, I have seen 700W as the recommended. The FE cards use a 12 pin and come with an adapter from 2x8 pins, so you will need 2 available 8 pin plugins.

Gpu types like Gold/Platinum are their efficiency rating, any supply that can deliver over 700 watts should be able to power a 3080 and most if not all at that wattage should have enough 8 pins to support it.

I'm going to use my existing Corsair SF600.

Gamers Nexus made a very informative video on what power supplies you might need for your computer, they did a lot of tests that you might want to look into. Honestly, you might even make do with a 650w psu for the 3080

I would recommend getting a 750w 80+ Gold or better from any major brand like Corsair, EVGA, SeaSonic, etc. Just make sure it has two 8 pin VGA connectors (I think all of them do at this voltage, but double check). If you want to do overclocking and have a high end CPU and also plan to overclock it, you might consider a 850w psu.
