I was in vrchat, and all of a sudden my pc shuts down and restarts (along with wifi acting weird) but is an 850w enough for a 3080??? I saw on msi afterburner the gpu will randomly spike in boost/base clock speeds but temps are normal, they will stay below 70 or at 70 degrees, never too hot. Im just confused on if i should get a 1200w psu…..im scared. And everything in my pc is somewhat new, not even a year old. The 3080 i got on Wednesday as a bday gift… I need help…
On February 1st, 2022, the ATX12V v3.0 standard was finalized, introducing major updates for power supplies. Starting from this date, all power supplies exceeding 450W must feature one of the new 12+4 pin connectors for add-in cards (such as GPUs), and undergo adjustments that enable them to supply up to 200% of their rated capacity during brief periods! The updated ATX specification also guarantees no shutdowns or compatibility problems with future high-power GPU generations. From now on, the power supply can define the maximum power draw of the graphics card, ensuring you choose the right PSU to get the most performance out of your GPU! There are also some...
It's actually quite a good power supply. However, if it would help you feel better, consider getting something bigger. I'd also recommend opting for a model with the new ATX 16pin standard to ensure compatibility with future video card upgrades. More info:

The updated ATX specification also guarantees stable operation without shutdowns or compatibility problems with future high-power GPUs. From now on, the PSU can define the power limit for the graphics card, ensuring optimal performance only when using the correct power supply. Additionally, there are adjustments in the design and efficiency standards of Alternative Low Power Modes (ALPM), facilitating reduced energy use. The key improvements of ATX12V v3.0 include:
Sure, that's interesting! I wasn't very familiar with PSU's before, but I think my Superflower Leadex III 850w is a decent one. Or maybe I should just say it's good quality. If I were to look for a higher wattage PSU, I'd want something newer from around 2021-2022 at the very least.
I mentioned having Msi afterburner open on another monitor and my 3080 didn’t exceed 60 degrees, I also had a fan curve from my previous 1080 ti. My friend said someone was crashing the system but didn’t specify what, though playing games like Metro Exodus at high or ultra settings didn’t cause any problems.
The latest specifications for power supplies are just beginning to appear, so you might need to wait a bit to get the newest ones.
