Exam 220-1101 topic 1 question 55 discussion

With each question I wonder more and more who is proposing these answers marked in green...

The answer is (b) the power supply as 200W is insufficient

looool these answers are outchea wild'n!!!! what is this answer now?? 😂 PCI should be used for high end graphics? not PCIe?????? FOLLOW THESE ANSWERS AT YOUR END PERIL, better RESEARCH YOUR ANSWERS ALONG YOUR REVISION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the Answer B is correct because the 8x Pin GPU require 150W power and the PC will require around 75-77 W depends on CPU and cooling systems. D is not correct. we can install even 4x or 1x cards on 16x slot without any issue.

I'm so thankful for the comments, because the proposed answers on these questions are absolutely mad xD

The power supply is very underpowered for what kind of graphics card is needed for 3D modeling. A mid to high-end GPU would use more than 200W itself let alone the CPU and other components And also a GPU would in fact use PCIe (Express) slots

If an engineer is experiencing unexpected reboots on a graphics workstation when rendering complex 3-D models, the most likely cause of these reboots is that the power supply is insufficient. The power supply is rated at 200W, which may not be enough to support the central processing unit with 16 hyperthreaded cores and the discrete graphics solution that utilizes an 8-pin power connector. The technician should begin troubleshooting by checking the power supply and ensuring that it is capable of providing sufficient power to the system . The UPS is not the most likely cause of the unexpected reboots, as it is designed to provide backup power in the event of a power outage or other electrical issue . The graphics card is not the most likely cause of the unexpected reboots, as it is not responsible for providing power to the system . The motherboard is not the most likely cause of the unexpected reboots, as PCI Express slots are commonly used for high-end graphics cards .

B. The power supply, as 200W is insufficient when the GPU is heavily tasked / Need minimum 350W a power supply ...we are talking about 3D printer... so need way more power

whoever answered these questions must've been high on something I don't know bc any sane person can tell that the answer is B.

D is a ridiculous guess

As per ChatGPT... Based on the given information, the most likely cause of the unexpected reboots when rendering complex 3-D models is the power supply being insufficient for the configuration. Therefore, the technician should begin troubleshooting by looking into option B: The power supply, as 200W is insufficient when the GPU is heavily tasked.

I think they provide answers wrong so Comptia don´t go after them

i hate who ever answered these questions

Just speaking from field experience, 200w is a pretty low-end power supply. A high-end GPU can consume 150 - 350 watts all by itself.

Uh, does anyone know how can we trust the provided answers despiter the most voted one is something else. I'm getting overwhelmed.

The technician should begin troubleshooting by checking the power supply, as 200W may be insufficient when the GPU is heavily tasked. A discrete graphics solution utilizing an 8-pin power connector typically requires more power than a built-in graphics solution. A 200W power supply may be sufficient for the workstation when the GPU is not heavily utilized, but may not provide enough power when the GPU is heavily tasked. This can cause unexpected reboots, stability issues, or other problems. The technician should verify that the power supply is providing enough power to support the workstation configuration and consider upgrading the power supply if necessary. The other options listed, such as the UPS, graphics card, and motherboard, may also contribute to the issue, but are less likely to be the root cause based on the information provided.

B. The power supply, as 200W is insufficient when the GPU is heavily tasked. The technician should begin troubleshooting the power supply as it could be the cause of the unexpected reboots. The graphics card is a key component in the system, especially when rendering complex 3-D models, which puts a heavy load on the GPU and requires a significant amount of power. If the power supply is not able to provide enough power to the graphics card, it could cause the reboots. Checking the power requirements of the graphics card and ensuring that the power supply is able to provide sufficient power would be the first step in troubleshooting this issue.
