In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses Nvidia’s newly revealed RTX 4070, 4080, and 4090 GPUs, highlighting their impressive performance but increased power requirements. Emphasis is placed on the power spikes these GPUs may cause, which could overwhelm many existing power supplies. Using the RTX 4080 12 GB as an example, the speaker compares it to the RTX 3070, noting a significant increase in TDP from 220 watts to 285 watts. The speaker uses the OuterVision power supply calculator to estimate the power needs for different build scenarios, recommending a minimum 650-watt power supply for even basic setups to ensure safe operation.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the importance of selecting the right power supply unit (PSU) for various PC builds, emphasizing that it’s better to have more power than needed to accommodate future upgrades. They consider different scenarios including high-performance builds with components like an overclocked Intel 12900K CPU, RTX 4080 GPUs, water cooling, and multiple fans. For such demanding setups, a 1000W PSU is recommended. For a best-case scenario build with an RTX 4080 16GB, a minimum of 650W PSU is suggested, potentially up to 1200W for high-end enthusiast systems. Moving to the RTX 4090, with its 450W TDP, a 750W PSU is recommended as the minimum even for low-power systems, with a particular emphasis on higher quality PSUs for more robust configurations.

In this segment, the speaker discusses upgrading to an 850-watt power supply if future component upgrades or overclocking an RTX 4090 are considered. They examine the power requirements for a high-end build with an RTX 4090, suggesting a power supply of at least 1300 watts and possibly up to 1600 watts for extreme overclocking scenarios. They highlight the upcoming ATX 3.0 power supply standard, which includes PCIe 5.0 plugs capable of delivering up to 600 watts with a single plug, reducing cable clutter and enhancing power delivery. They strongly recommend these new power supplies for new builds. Availability of these power supplies is expected soon from manufacturers like MSI and Corsair, though caution is advised regarding Gigabyte models due to past issues.
