My PC has a 330 W PSU and is not upgradable without either getting a new case/board & PSU or getting a PSU and trying to run it external.
It came with the GTX 760 Ti and I've since installed the GTX 970 and it works beautifully.
According to this review: The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 & GTX 1070 Founders Editions Review: Kicking Off the FinFET Generation
On the first page is says the TDP of the GTX 970 is 145 W and the GTX 1070 is 150 W and the GTX 1080 is 180 W.
On the power, temperature and noise page, it has a chart that shows maximum power consupmption with the FUrMark test, which shows the GTX 970 at 303 W, the GTX 1070 at 268 W and the GTX 1080 at 318 W.
I want to know, can my system run the GTX 1070 and/or 1080? I'm confused that the TDP of the 1070 is higher than the 970 but the total W under load is lower. The 1080 seems right out because 330 W PSU with 318 W GPU means only 12 W available for everything else, seems like something will break.
There's also a heat question, because the 1070 does get about 15 C higher than the 970 I currently have.
Any tips?
