Will I be able to use the RTX 3080 fe

[Shepherd_Strike]

I've been thinking about getting a RTX 3080 fe but I saw 2x8 pins for it but I have a 6+2 pin and a 6 pin and the fe card has a 12 pin connector so will i be able to use it?

open your case and see which model it is

or is it a prebuilt ?

of course you have to unplug your pc before doing this

The exact model is extremely important. The wattage is only about 1/4th of the equation.

 

For a 3080, you're gonna want something from Tier A or Tier B, anything lower is going to have issues.

Hello there,

 

Since you own a pre-build, I don't think RTX 3080 would do any justice, because most pre-builds have cheap components. For RTX 3080 to work in its best form, you should have some of the best PC build components. This is my personal opinion and I hope it helps you some way or the other.

 

Cheers!

It's garbage. Get something new from the Tier list if you want to run a 3080.

im sorry but you dont sound like you have any idea about computers whatsoever and therefore you are probably just wanting to get the 3080 because it looks "cool".

please give us the full specs of your pc, tell us what games you play and at what resolution and hz and tell us why you would want to upgrade so people can give you good advise.

otherwise you are just going to throw your parents money out the window without seeing any difference.

For 1080p and even 14400 144hz you only need 3070
