Is My Graphics Card Getting Enough Power?

[BarbaricSoul]

Well that's the one thing making my system run well, and there is actually very little bottleneck.

No it's not. and no it's not the only video card that will "run well". It's your system, do what you feel is appropriate (don't come back here crying if it ends up killing that 5 year old PSU in a few months taking your motherboard/RAM/1080ti with it). You came here asking us for advice. You are getting mass advice from everyone to upgrade the PSU. Why are you arguing with us about it?

My PSU doesn't have rails,

WRONG, all PSUs have at least one rail

Hello avrona. I saw you did low rate some posts. I understand why but see: If those posts appear right at the beginning at your face then maybe it would be a little rude but they came after many posts, this indicate that TPU members are desperate to help you, they are trying their last solution to convince you. They aren't trying to offend you or insult you. Most of them here have a vast knowledge in hardware so you can rely on them. Please listen to them.

genuinly dont know why you make these posts..
you made a post about your system asking what you should upgrade. People said "Get a better cpu." you said "No its fine"
you make this thread asking if your psu is good enough for yout gpu, people say "probaby best to buy a new psu" you said "No its fine"

So tell me.
Why do you bother to make the posts if you dont want people to answer your questions unless they validate your choice?

Its like you want people to pat you on the head and say. "Good choice! we couldnt have reccomended anything better" and when they dont you rate their post as bad.

Like I said... dont feed the trolls. This is his M.O.. I refuse to help.

It's sad you think asking for help counts as trolling.

Listen I have no idea what you are going on about here, and it really doesn't seem to matter as you seem to side with people who call me trolls for no reason, but I all want is just an answer to my question. Is that too much to ask for?

I make posts because I need an answer to my questions... that's why people normally post questions.

Your questions have been answered... multiple times. You choose to disagree with the answers...

It was suggested to get a more powerful unit...you knew damn well going into it you don't have the money...what did you expect to hear? You have your answer..get a new psu at your earliest convenience.

What question hasnt been answered?

Reporting and calling me a potato just for posting a question, wow.

These adapters are ok, they were widespread in the early days of 8pin PCIe power connectors.

@OP The thing is, we can't really tell you whether you're ok or not, that depends on the load on each of your PSU's rails and that, in turn, depends on each component in your system. In general, a video card not getting enough juice will either refuse to boot, crash when going in 3D mode, or, if you're lucky, just refuse to up clocks past a certain point.
Your specs say you also run a rather power hungry CPU with an overclock on top. I would run it stock, to reduce the risk of trying the PSU.

Also, sometimes when PSUs give up the ghost, they take the mobo with them. You've been warned.

So, he was correct, his PSU doesn't have rails.

To be honest, I have no problem with your question, seems a sensible one, however I do have a problem when anyone asking a question who gets pretty consistent suggestions/replies and then argues against them getting to the point that everyone here feels as though they are going around in circles, so they get frustrated and you are then surprised that they do, best place for this thread at this point is to close the door and turn the key otherwise it will get messy which will lead to more pain and angst for everyone.
