I need help. I am buying a 4080 16GB GPU very soon. The GPU will be installed in regular configuration. Not vertically. I'm upgrading from a 3070 TI. I don't know what model but I'm leaning towards Gigabyte. My PSU is a "EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 P3, 80 Plus Platinum 1000W, Fully Modular" I know my PSU does not have the new power output on it. So I need some form of adapter. I can use whatever comes with my card. Or I could order perhaps a better one? A 3rd party one? Do I have to order from EVGA to match my PSU? I'm not that skilled when it comes to PSUs and power cables. What cable should I purchase right now? To prepare for my 4080? Do I need to wait? Thank You?
Also I've followed videos about this subject. And the known issues. It seems 3rd party cables may void warrent but they may have less issues. And I know to make sure the cable is not loosely connected. And to only bend it up or down not sideways. And the bend can't be to severe. My case clearance may require a 90 degree angle connection and I think on one youtube channel I saw a single cable that went from 4 of the former connections to the new connector and also could be used with a 90 degree connector I think it was actually adjustable. The same cord changed from standard to 90 degree. But I forget the brand and I don't know if that is for a specific PSU or just the 4090s. Or if it works for any PSU and even 4080s too? I don't want to buy a cable that won't work with my PSU or a 4080? Any pointers or direct suggestions? Thanks.
