No. Your 750W power supply does not have enough headroom for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080. The upgraded system peak spikes reach 776W, which exceeds your PSU's aged capacity limit of 750W. You must upgrade your PSU.
⚠ Upgrading from NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 changes your power connector from 8PIN-X2 to 12V-2X6. Ensure your new GPU includes adapters or select a native ATX 3.1 PSU with a native 12V-2x6 cable to prevent melting risks.
Our sizing engine uses real-world transient power multiplier constants sourced from database specifications. Standard TDP addition calculations are insufficient for modern components because cards experience sub-millisecond power spikes up to 200% of their rated limits. This calculator derates your PSU capacity dynamically based on capacitor aging estimates (5% annually starting at year 3) to ensure you have a safe operational cushion.
