Solved! Power requirement question

[mojothehut]

Hey all
I feel dumb for asking but thought I'd double check with ya'll.
So I just purchased an Asus Rog Strix 2080 Ti OC.
I was about to install it when I started to read things about an 800+ watt psu being recommended for this beast.
I currently have an EVGA Supernova G3 750. Should I really upgrade my psu too? I dont mind doing it if need be, but
of course would prefer not to.

Rest of my system if it matters.
8700k @ 5.0ghz
16gb DDR3200 14-14-14-34
Asus Maximus Hero X
Samsung 970 Pro 1tb
2 140mm fans, 1 120mm fan

Your EVGA power supply is good enough, with plenty left over. Nvidia recommends a PSU larger than 650w.

They only recommend bigger PSUs to cover all the crappy ones that can't reach its advertised specs. The G3 is a really solid PSU, and doesn't fit that category.

This is for the Founder's Edition, but all the 2080ti cards are in the same ballpark:
