(Of course the next thing will be heat…. But who count!)
I took this advice! I just installed an 850w gold in my machine... about $120 bucks (cheaper than a 3080 for sure....)
These are the results on the same test render I did above with individual cards... this render would crash my machine every time when running both cards:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Test Render 5 (SS4K/DefaultMP4Settings/H265) - (Both Cards at render speed 100 new PSU):
Set Up:
RemoteDesktop Open (right screen)
Chrome and all browsers Closed
Starting GPU temps (Card1 = 37, Card 2 = 25)
Fans both running at 95%
Results:
Peak Temp = (Card 1 = 80, Card 2 = 69)
Peak Wats = (Card 1 = 162, Card 2 = 131)
Time to Render = 05:33 min---------------------------------------
That's a 46% reduction in rendering times with a new PSU! Thanks yall
