Toughpower DPS G RGB compatibility with ASUS Strix RTX 3080

[Darkviper]

Hi all!

ASUS has announced that their custom RTX 3080 /90 Strix models will require 3 pcie pins from the PSU.
Toughpower DPS G RGB modular 750w has only got 2 PCIE cables available coming from the PSU, however these are split and have 2 connectors each.

Is my PSU compatible with the new nvidia 3080 by running a 1 cable direct, 1 cable split to connect all three pins?

Thanks in advance

Hi ,

Thanks for your message. We recommend that if you want to use ASUS RTX 3080/3090 Strix models, please use at least 850W  up models.

Here's some list for your reference.

Many thanks for the answer,

Looking at the https://www.thermaltake.com/toughpower-gf1-850w-tt-premium-edition.html I can see still only 2 PCIE lanes, so same question holds.

Can I use 1 cable direct, 1 cable split to connect all three pins?

Hi, 

Thanks for your message. 

Down below is Toughpower GF1 850W cable information. There are 3 lanes for PCI-E cables and  6 connectors in total. 

You can use 1 cable direct, 1 cable split to connect all three pins, but just a bit worried about the split cable is overloaded.

So we recommend that choose a higher wattage PSU to connect the ASUS RTX 3080/3090 Strix models  one by one is safer.
