Aurora-R7, 850 PSU limitation, dual 1080 Ti's?
Hi all,
I was looking into purchasing the Alienware Aurora-R7 and I noticed that the max PSU is 850 watts even if you have an 8700K CPU and dual 1080 Ti's. Will this be an issue? As in the will the PSU be a bottleneck when utilizing both cards? I read that the 1080Ti can draw up to 400 watts at times. I know on other manufacturers you need at least a 1000w PSU with a similar build.

Hi @cmb93,
We designed them to work without issues on that setup. It would make no sense for us to design them with such a flaw.
They should work with no issues.

For Dual Nvidia GTX-1080-Ti SLI, I suggest an Area-51 (Intel based).
Not only can you get it with Dell optional 1500w Power-Supply, both PCIe slots are configured to run at a full x16-v3.0 . The larger case also has sufficient room to cool them ... when both run-up-to max utilization.
