Review: MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Ti DUKE (is this Duke the new King?)
Arguably the best GeForce RTX 2080 Ti we have tested is the DUKE from MSI, in this review we'll take it through our testing paces to see how the card holds up against the other cards in the deck.
Read our review right here.

We review new HyperX anew Predator DDR4 RGB 32GB 2933 MHz (quad/dual-channel) from HyperX. At 2933 MHz, not the fastest, but this is a 32GB kit that can be tweaked towards 3333 MHz easily. It's p...

So 650w is fine if you want to OC the card? I'm on a SeaSonic S12G 650W.

Hi Hilbert,
With all the extensive power draw testing you did, all at the wall apparently, did any of your 2080Ti *systems* exceed 500 watts at the wall? Or approach even?
Reason I ask is I have a high quality 550W Seasonic Gold PS supply with a non overclocked 4790K cpu and a non overclocked 980GTX. This system consumes at most a little over 300 watts at the wall even though at the time it was recommended the system have a 450 watt power supply. I'm real curious if I could still use the existing system with a 2080Ti.
Sure they recommend a 650W supply but I'm not sure I believe that thats neccessary given my current systems draw (ie is the 2080Ti really going to draw 200 watts more than a 980GTX)... again not an overclocker at all but a happy gamer. Rest of system is just 16gig ram and 3 SSD's. The online power supply estimators estimate my system with a Titan V at around 475 watts so that's still 75 watts of headroom at full load I figure.
Thoughts?
Just do not do that! Every GPU, especially nVidia's draw power (current) in spikes. As measurements are time average and not immediate oscilloscope measurements, average does tell little about hidden danger to many sensitive components in PSU.
Spikes are there because GPU is allowed to eat excessive power at times of need, as when parts of GPU are done with work, they are power gated.
Check Tom's here, they are still doing most accurate measurement.

From the first page of this review:
"Its weight is nice (850g)"
This can't be right. Product page says 1233g, Computerbase.de review says 1.239g

That is a bit low now that I think about it? Let me recheck that in the next hour, the scale reported ~850g when I weighed it. Could be miscalibrated prior to weight.

If you're going to overclock, I would agree with Hilbert - 550W is getting a bit uncomfortably close. Seasonic is a good brand so when they say 550W, that tends to mean sustained load, rather than peak load. But generally speaking, you don't really want to be exceeding 80% of your PSU's capacity if you want it to live long and remain efficient and reliable. Depending on your workload you very well could exceed 80% if you OC (which is kinda the point of getting a GPU like this).
