My First Rig Build 1080 Ti GPUs

GTX 180 ti card draw about 260 watts each if you set them up right. The biggest issue with the GTX 1080 is needing both an 8 AND a 6 pin connector. That means a 1300 Watt EVGA PSU can only run 3 cards unless you use splitter/adapters. I like to run my PSU’s in the sweet spot for efficiency (in the end, its all about Hash/watt), so I always over buy on the PSU. For a 7 GTX 1080 GPU rig I use one 1600 watt and one 1300 watt. 8 GPU’s would be nice (with two 1600 Watt), and I have that working, but its so close to 20 amps that it can trip the main breaker, so not ideal.
