As long as you don't overclock anything you should be fine. Better use two separate provided cables to power the 3080.
Reference cooler blasts a lot of heat straight into the ram/cpu so if you're using custom memory turnings, they may become unstable, too.

I leave everything at factory. I'm not that serious. Lol

750w power supply good enough for a 3080 and high end ryzen cpu?

Half tempted to try and snag one tomorrow, but also won't care to wait a few months...

Have this:
Amazon product ASIN B00IKDETOW

Yes

I ordered a Corsair RM750X. It has gotten lots of praise from what ive seen. Figured my 550w won't do the job anymore.

I'm hoping that a 3080 can run Tarkov in DSR mode 1440p*2 aka 5120x2880 at decent frames. A 2080TI can do a shaky 40-60FPS, if the 3080 can do 60-80 my K/D should increase by 3% or so because it's so crystal clear but not really very playable compared to jaggy/pixelated 1440p @ 100 fps thanks to how shitty Unity's AA is.

5120x2880 = 1440p x 4

I'm gonna be so fucking rustled Friday morning when cards are sold out everywhere in 5 seconds.

Just make sure to set your alarm extra early on Friday. All you can do is give it your best shot.

True, 4 times the pixels with 2 times the resolution. With Tarkov especially, using 2x or anything other than exact integer multiples of the native pixel density makes the images in that game worse than the lower resolution because of scaling. But downscaling a "4x" image to the native resolution is incredibly sharp and creates almost perfectly anti-aliased images. For anyone with an older 1080p 120hz+ monitor, you might not even really need or want a 4K 144hz monitor anytime soon. I actually wish I had a 1080p 144hz monitor to try with Tarkov, I bet DSR 4.0 so it's rendering at 4K and downscaling to 1080P would look amazing and run at 100fps or so. Skyrim on my 4k TV at 1080p@DSR 4k looks about 90% as good as real 4K and it can run at 120hz.

I feel my 1080 can still run 99.99% of the game on Max setting under 1440P.

Consider running long video and USB cables through a wall and putting the case in an adjoining room. No noise and heat in the workspace.

Smarter would be getting an extractor duct/fan setup because that amount of heat buildup indicates the room is not properly ventilated. Sitting in a small poorly ventilated space for long periods of time is not healthy.

but this doesn't cost 14k and requires trip digit iq to execute

I just called the nearest Best Buy they said no stock here in town at any stores.

LachiusTZ · Sep 16, 2020

I might go to micro center tomorrow early and see if there is a line

If It's another fucking mining rush...

Leadsalad · Sep 16, 2020

I'm waiting to see what the AIB watercooled cards look like, and I assume by those happen the increased vram version of the 3080 will have been launched.

They should take a demand-centric pricing scheme to defeat scalpers and miners. Start the $ at 3x their current price and reduce it as stock scales up to meet demand. Let's see how many miners / scalpers want to buy an RTX 3080 tomorrow at $2100 when it's going to be $1400 in a month and $700 on Black Friday.

How the fuck does that help me at all? lol

I agree completey but I mean, Nvidia's own marketing slides claim a double performance over 2080 (base) uplift and that's not been shown to be the case in a single benchmark (any resolution, any setting, etc) - including Nvidia's own Digital Foundry (paid) preview/review last week. More like 70% - which, still very good is far short of the expectations Nvidia themselves have set. Not sure why they do this continually, but it really does feel like they have some knowledge on Big Navi and kept prices "reasonable" accordingly.

That said, if you're gaming at 1440p and have a 2080+ card I don't know why you'd be compelled to upgrade. 4k seems to be where you're seeing the biggest and most obvious performance increases but at 1440p it appears you're still fairly CPU constrained and the uplift seems like a waste of time (particularly when factoring in energy consumption vs performance of 2080TI vs 3080).

Like I said, this is a reasonably good generational leap from Turing but it's nothing to write home about and the hype was way off the reservation with these things.

That hype was pretty much due to the fucktarded 2080ti prices. People think they are getting the holy grail now.

Where the heck does 3840x1200 land in the resolution scale. My current gaming resolution. I will probably get me the 3080 then that Samsung G9 which is 5120x1440...

These machines make me want to try water cooling again. I still have all my radiators / connectors and it's been long enough that I've forgotten how annoying it is to do.

Did some water cooling a couple of years back. Was surprised how easy, well made they are now. I ended up just switching it out for Noctua's, because wasn't really overclocking much. But the new water cooling systems aren't nearly as messy as they use to be.

Quick mafs. On the G9 I'd expect percentage gains close to the 4K benchmarks, maybe ~10% lower.

Oh shit.

I really hope AMD has something this generation to force Nvidia's hand for the next round of cards.
