GPU quadro p6000 and psu question

[O_and_N]

So I just bought a quadro p6000 from ebay with 2 year warranty for 2k and while I wait for it to come, I noticed that it only has one 8pin power conector and yet it is rated at 250w and the power numbers don't add up for me?

Found this from NVidia:

---
Typically, the PCIe slot is rated for 75 W and the 8-pin PCIe connector is rated for 150 W. However, based on our testing and surveying the current ecosystem, it was found that the 8-pin PCIe connector can drive up to 175 W. Along with the PCIe slot, it can support a graphics card consuming up to 250 W. However, due to the increased power delivery on the 8-pin PCIe connector, PSU with a 12V rail capable of driving at least 18A needs to be dedicated for the 8-pin PCIe connector.
---

So for this situation will a 1000w seasonic prime ultra titanium do the job?I don't quite understand if that model psu has that power option by looking at the page.

(the rest of the power goes to the tr4 and future expansion)​

The only thing you need to worry about is not to over stress the 8 pin by plugging up two cards to a single 8+8. Use a single modular 8 pin per card.

Otherwise just spec everything else as you normally would. 250W for gpu and the rest for what you need for TR4 + possible expansions.

Thank you.I kind of crossed my eyes as I got a little lost with the 8pin thing.(coudnt quite understand it ,sorry xd).
By overstress the 8pin by plugging up two cards to a single 8+8 (only have one gpu for now) you mean that if I had two gpus and one cable that was split with 2x 8pins sharing the same power?(as a adaptor)
Just a individual 8pin cable per each gpu, right?

Correct.

Some PSUs have this type of connector:

Only use one of them per GPU.

Thank you.Something unrelated here as I dont want a new thread.I was planning on buying the new quadro rtx 5000 but since its going to be out in no less than a month I took a quadro p6000 for 100€ cheaper.Im sure that both gpus perform equally good in maya but as a brute force vr work do you think they are equal?(no need for that raytrace stuff).
I mean a quadro rtx 5000 is a rtx 2080 and the p6000 is a titan xp.From what I see these days stock rtx 2080 shoud be more or less equal to a titan xp?(maybe 5-8 frames more at worst)

Good deal and thought. I think I'll do the same! The RTX 5000 has also an higher wattage, rated at 265W.

I think I will get back to my topic once more in regards to the psu.
The pc is on the table right now with a few missing things such as the psu.
It will be the p6000,64gb ram, x399 taichi,a 2990wx or a 2950x at stock(still debating) and quite a few fans.(6x140fans and 3x120mm)

I went to see that wattage calculator on seasonics site and it says that I need a 1200w platinum psu for 24/7????(I will obviously have it render some times a week or so but not forever..)
I was thinking that the 1000w titan psu shoud be more than enough or are they brainwashing me to spend more?

They have some strange option there for cpu utilization TDP that is set at 90% as recommended.I understand it as that if the cpu is rendering,than the tdp shoud be at its max.(250w or 180w)

Assuming you are running near stock settings, you only need a 800W gold psu. Make sure it has dual 8 pin for the cpu. The evga g2 750W looks excellent. Add 300W per additional gpu if you intend to expand.

Titanium specs is overkill and waste of money. A gold rated is good.

Well, the taichi only uses one 8 and one 4 pins so I will look for something within those specs than.Ive heard something long time ago, about that if having more W psu than needed in the pc can decrease performance?(probably a myth)

Why not consider the new Aorus Extreme that supports natively the new TR4? (I like the finned heatsink on it, but the Taichi is perfect anyway!) Anyway, I agree, you can take a 1000W Platinum or gold and it is perfect (Seasonic or whatever brand)
And for these new CPUs you need for sure to plug both of the EPS cables. Never heard about this decreasing performance myth.

Because I have a meshify c and is atx only xd.So asrock is the only good option.
By the way,if you are interested in a high end pascal quadro for cheap, I suspect that once the rtx quadros come out, there will be a lot of good deals on ebay with warranty.I already see new m6000 for less than 1100€ on ebay.I suspect the p5000 and p6000 will decrease more in price as people will start cleaning stock from hp/dell/lenovo. If I waited more, I coud have probably gotten the p6000 for less than 2k.

Note, 8pin cpu is a 4+4 connector. You can use half of the 8pin.

I feel terribly embarrassed to ask this as we went over it..The p6000 I'm waiting is bulk, so only the gpu.I know you said one 8 pin cable and done, but I saw this ¨¨unboxing video¨¨ and in 4:20

I saw a adaptor?Im not sure if its a dual 6pin to a 8pin one.If it is, than if I'm not mistaking, this is 150w power delivery which is the same as a one 8pin as you said.
On the other hand I'm not sure if I'm looking at a dual 8pin to 8pin one for more power delivery??
The gpu is 250w.A pci-e gives 75w+150w for the one 8pin=225w
Or maybe the 8pin will really deliver 175w?

I am so sorry again for the paranoia.

 

[O_and_N]

I think I understood it.Found some info in a pdf.If I'm not mistaking what we saw was a dual 6pin to a 8pin auxiliary power cable for people who don't have 8pin psu or the existing ones are occupied and need to give the 8 pin power through two 6pins which is the same if I'm not mistaking??
