I’ve never shot for GPUs on day 1 but I want a 3080. Was it easy for the 2080 or was it like Black Friday in the USA?

What about my five year old 550W for a 3080 though?

DrDork posted:

Quite iffy, and heavily dependent on what CPU you're running and if you overclock it. 600-650W is probably where the "safe" bottom is gonna be.

Also, at 5 years old, I'd look to see if it's still under warranty. If it's not, I might consider replacing it sooner rather than later regardless.

My 550 doesn’t even have the extra 6+2 connector the 3080 requires.

Out of curiosity I went to try and trace back my GPUs... only got as far back as a used Ti 4600, but from there I think I hit a 7900, 8800 GTS, GTX 460, GTX 670 and then GTX 1080. Surprised at past me for upgrading so "quick" from 460 to 670, but maybe that was a big jump.

My first was a Radeon 9800XT
After that is my current 1660Ti

I need to upgrade more often.

Their Nvidia's own fab of cards and they sell them throughout the generation. Founder's Edition usually means cards sold during the inital launch.

Ok cool, more specifically I want the cooling design of their card. My intake and exhaust setup looks like it would be perfect for it.

Plus I MAY end up with a cpu water cooler. They look like they’ve come a LONG way since my previous pc built in like 2003.

This guy really dunks on stock coolers but my AMD Prism has been great with my Ryzen 7 3700x and 1660ti.

Should I go ahead and turn it into a Noctua now and save myself a headache? Not familiar with beefier cards so I don’t know just how much hotter it’s going to be.

With your system sipping power it's probably not unreasonably loud. Dump another 200w in the case and then maybe it will make enough noise that you care. Maybe it won't. Just wait and see.

Ok cool. Last quick thermal concern I have is my case is a CoolerMaster Q300L (micro ATX), something a bit notorious online for being hot. Since getting it I’ve tossed the stock fans for a 2 front, 1 roof, 1 rear Noctua setup and I can currently play games like Control on highest settings with both my CPU and GPU in the mid 70 degree range.

Can I also consider this good enough to just wait and see how it handles a 3080?

the true geniuses are the ones still using 1280x1024 17in LCDs from 2001. if you never upgrade your monitor, you will never know that there are better things out there and everything will look great! the moment you bring that 1440/4k high refresh rate monitor home, your brain is forever tainted

Where are you finding if your local Best Buy will be stocking these? I can see the in-store pickup option when I'm browsing the various 3080 models but nothing on the store page itself.

Well if I’m gonna upgrade from 3200 memory is there a current sweet spot that isn’t throwing 400 dollars at a diminished return? Is 16Gb still plenty?

I still haven't heard the fans on mine spin up. My case was marketed as a "quiet" case, but still. Also doesn't go over 65C.

I want one.

This week I replaced my case and stock cooler and ended up with a Fractal meshify C mini, 4 noctua case fans and a noctua cpu cooler and my build is silent at idle and quieter under load than my last case was at idle. Temps also dropped 12 degrees. It’s insane.

I’d like to keep that trend going.

So if I’m on a strict 2-slot budget am I completely limited to the FE? I’m leaning towards one anyways due to the cooling design and length.
