RTX 3080

[JoshPJ]

The founders edition looks so good, I was going for a 3070 to start with due to power restraint from my 550w but ive just bought a 750w especially for the 3080 (sorry wallet), im really hyped! Anyone else?

Yeah, i'm either doing the RTX 3080 or RTX 3090 haven't decided yet but the 3090 is like $600 more so that's a lot

Yeah but for what you get for the price compared to previous year titans its almost justafiable, ive got a 3700x coming to replace my 1600x too, i shouldnt have to upgrade my pc for a good while!

You mean, you won't need to upgrade until Ryzen 4000 comes out... Right?

 

I'm pairing the 3080 with my 3600 until the Ryzen 4000 comes out, and then I'll be getting that as the upgrade. From what it looks like, it should be able to beat Intel for gaming finally.

I have a x370 mobo, doubt 4000 will be compatible sadly, 3700x will be more than enough for me

It should be with a BIOS update, if the board manufacturer decides to allow it.

I game on 1080 so I'm going 3070, but I have decided to upgrade my mobo from a b450 to a X570 to take advantage of PCI-e 4.0. Which isn't a big deal now but may see more use once the drivers mature.
