G20 Upgraded with ASUS RTX 2080 Turbo

[Cyb0rge]

Sorry if this might be a stupid question, but would I have to get a male 6 pin to male 6 pin adapter for the 2080?

this is what I bought to be safe. Card hasn’t arrived yet but I’d imagine it’ll cover both.*PCIE 8 Pin male to Dual 8 Pin... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0796NVNY7...p_mob_ap_share

Are you running any type of overclock on the 1080? Have you had any problems with the psu? Just curious*

So the cord I bought should work for both inputs correct? And I’ll have a free 6pin slot on the motherboard?

why can’t the Aj handle it?? There’s a motherboard switch to activate the second graphics card power supply? I’m really curious here thinking about purchasing*

You can use ASUS RTX 2080(215watt) or RTX 2070 turbo edition(175watt) for G20AJ. but not GTX 1080ti (250w).

G20aj can`t handle GPU with more than 230w TDP, because it has different jumper with CB or Ci. AJ can`t set the jumper to dividing the power like Ci and CB did.
Fyi eventhough Ci and CB can run GTX 1080ti nicely, but doesnt mean its 100% compatible, coz u might get a little problem, like sometimes the cpu wont turn on.

you cant use that splitter cable(1x 8pin to 2x 8pin), it will be unstable, coz one 8pin only can deliver 150w power max. You have to use 2 seperate cable (1x 8pin and 1x 6pin), usually included from the G20AJ box package.

if anyone still doubt whether to get RTX card or not, just to let you know that I`ve been using RTX 2080 in my G20 for more than 3 months with no issue at all.

thank you my rtx 2080 arrived and was installed yesterday, I had a feeling that would be the case so I bought the right cables at frys Electronics last week I will be uploading specs and time spy score as soon as Im off work

have you tested out the power draw with ray tracing or dlss enabled? I’ve seen a lot of reviews of these cards saying these cards draw considerably more power with those enabled I’m curious if the 230 w supply can still handle it but I have 0 games that support it sat the moment*

no jumper switch?? What exactly was it that I did in this video? I have a g20. Aj and he was talking about moving jumpers so I did but maybe it’s not what I thought it was (2mins 40 seconds)
