3080 cpu specs

[iamcool1495]

Sorry for the rush

 

im wondering if my i9 9900k and aorus elite would be fine with the 3080 or 3090 at 4K. Main reason why I’m asking now is they are still less than 1 year old and I could try to get my money back or an upgrade. I would wait for bench marks but the 1 year is running out soon

 

What do you guys think

Yes, they'll be more than fine.

Nvidia seems to believe that PCIe 4.0 doesn't offer much of a tangible performance benefit on this generation (at least the GPUs they revealed so far), and the 9900K is still among the highest-end chips for gaming, and playing at 4K lessens the load on the CPU anyway.

Why exactly would a store give you back your money after you've purchased and used it for a year? That makes no sense to me.

 

Anyway, as said that's still a high end chip and will be fine.

do you want pcie 4.0? 9900k dont support it

there you go ^^

A 9900k should be fine, but we won't know until reviews are out. Nvidia insists PCI-E 3.0 is enough, but their testing in the launch event was with an i9 at 4k.

Or they just don't want to advertise their only competitor in their announcements... That's actually a far more likely reason for using Intel only.

Maybe, though it's not like AMD and AMD Radeon are the same thing.

Also, found this:

Quote

Will customers find a performance degradation on PCIE 3.0?

System performance is impacted by many factors and the impact varies between applications. The impact is typically less than a few percent going from a x16 PCIE 4.0 to x16 PCIE 3.0. CPU selection often has a larger impact on performance.We look forward to new platforms that can fully take advantage of Gen4 capabilities for potential performance increases.

True, but it still directly funds the same company that is competing against them. Intel isn't even coming close to competing on any level.
