Only if your PSU is several years old (near the end of warranty) would I suggest a new one. Lehpron You are fine with that PSU, because GTX980 uses less power than GTX670. At it says power needed 500 watt and as you said with my current PSU I'm ok. I never do overclocked things and I will not get another GPU as one is enough for me lool. My PSU is new I bought it 1 year ago when I had to build my PC. That is why anyone will suggest more, because they tend to do that, thus assume everyone might. That being said, the only logical reason to get more power if it you plan on adding another graphics card or get into overclocking later. Max graphics card power is the actual load of the graphics card while minimum system ASSUMES a random configuration, adds in the card, and quotes the power of the whole thing- it has nothing to do with your configuration. If you click the specifications tab on the left side, it will reveal two power numbers: 1) Max graphics card power and 2) minimum system requirement.

Easy way to tell power is look at the external power plugs on the side, both GTX980 and GTX670 had the same pair of 6-pins- whatever PSU worked with one will work with any graphics card with the same pair of 6-pins Bookmark this website:, it is nVidia's archive for graphics card information. XrayMan I would go with at least an 850w or higher. I never do any overclocked things not with CPU nor with GPU. And that also includes monitors/speakers.

Yea it says power needed 500 watt which is the same as gtx 670 that I have.ĭave851 Yea you should be fine unless your doing something like dual overclocked cpu's, with the computer in my mods rigs, at full load it never breaks 600w from the wall even while folding on the cpu and gpu, with both overclocked a fair amount. Rjohnson11 You can find the power requirements in the DETAIL tab located here: According to that info your PSU should be fine

The less circuit impedance, the more stable flow of current and can effectively improve power efficiency.You are fine with that PSU, because GTX980 uses less power than GTX670. Ultra Durable VGA board allows more bandwidth for electron passage and reduces circuit impedance. Ultra Durable VGA board reduces voltage ripples in normal and transient state, thus effectively lowers noises and ensures higher overclocking capability.

Ultra Durable VGA board provides dramatic cooling effect on lowering both GPU and memory temperature by doubling the copper inner layer of PCB.

Users could enjoy the best gaming experience in ultra HD resolution with extended flexibility in arranging monitor configurations and making future system upgrade extremely easy. GIGABYTE Flex display technology(patent-pending) can automatically detect any connected monitors and achieve multi-display gaming up to 4 monitors at the same time by using various output groups. Besides, the air flow is effectively enhanced by the unique blade fan design, this not only increase the cooling capacity while reducing air turbulence but also results a lower noise level. WINDFORCE 3X cooling system is equipped with high performance pure copper heat-pipes which direct touch the GPU can strengthen the speed of heat dissipation.
