Installing Evga RTX 2070 Super Ultra GPU

[R3dAlert93]

Hi, I need a little bit of hardware support. :)

I'm changing my gtx 1070 gpu to a RTX2070 super ultra that i got through the post today. Just wondering... will the RTX 2070 super ultra need more power than the gtx 1070 (the current gpu in my computer case)? I have a 750 watt psu running these specs at the moment. Just wondering if the RTX 2070 super ultra will be able to run with these specs that a 750 watt psu is powering?

Yes it'll use more power than the 1070. 650w PSU recommended so the 750w PSU you have should be fine. Assuming it's a decent PSU.

What about the GPU 8 pin cables that are currently powering my GTX 1070? Will they need changing or will they be able to power the RTX 2070 super ultra card aswell? I didn't get any power cables with the RTX 2070.

[Supafly]

Power cables are supplied with the PSU as each PSU may have differrent connections.

The 2070 would require both an 8 pin and a 6 pin connector. The PSU may have a cable with both 8 pin and 6 pin connectors or it may have separate 6+2 pin cables. If your current cable only has a single 8 pin or a single 6+2 pin connector then your PSU would have came with other cables. You'll need to connect another cable.

[R3dAlert93]

I have 2 of those 6+2 cables and 2 of those 8 pin cables, so i basically need a 6 pin and 8 pin cable to slot into the RTX 2070 and not a 6+2 cable?

Question which specific PSU model? 750W is more than enough but only if it’s a quality unit.

Preferably Yes.

Just to point out a 6+2 = 8 pin is no different than an 8 pin. So you could also use an 8 pin and a 6+2 pin(just don't use the extra 2 pin part) or use 2x 6+2 pin connectors and not use one of the 2 pin sections. That said, if you have an 8 pin cable and a 6+2 pin I'd go with that option. Looks neater.

Ah... okay, got yah! :D

So use DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) to uninstall GTX 1070 drivers first or should i leave that until i got the RTX 2070 fitted inside the case? What do you think is the best option?

Technically your current drivers should be fine.

Personally though, I'd boot into safe mode. Run DDU to wipe drivers and shutdown. Then switch the GPU.

Either or works.

750 is more then enough even for a 9900KS + 2080 Ti or Titan RTX

first run ddu and select options for wiping monitor, GeForce Experience and Vulkan. Allow for safe mode. Exit the options and ddu app and relaunch it. Select safe mode and restart options
Once in safe mode and ddu loads up click the option to disable Windows auto driver installer. Then pick nvidia and click clean and shutdown. Then install new gpu, it's needed power cables (don't use power adapter in the box) and connect display to.gpu and ensure monitor is set to correct input. Power on system, won't in Windows go download/install latest driver from
