No, you probably won't have to 'rip out' most of your PC to use the Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti | TechRadar

I think the new RTX 3080 Ti will be using 2 eight pin connectors.

675W of raw GPU power consumption. That's crazy!

If you over ride Nvidia's power limit with custom BIOS you can pull that much power.

Who needs a stove in the future when you can just buy an nVidia GPU and overclock it to its limits. Then just play games and the dinner will cook automagically. :)

Pretty sure I could fry an egg on my nickel plated back plate at 380W but don't think I'd try.

This card will probably require a minimum of 700watt supply if any it will be a psu bottleneck with this card people going to have to use 1000w plus if they don't have one already just to be safe

For comparisons, my AMD Radeon VII has a recommended 750 watt PS and has 300 Watt draw.

And yes, I do have a 1000 Watt EVGA P2 (Platinum) power supply.
