I intend to buy an RTX 3080 for 4 K and VR Gaming (e.g. MSFS) and to put it in my current system which I will upgrade in around 9 months to 12700K with 1000W PSU:
CPU: 6600K - slightly overlcocked to 4 GHz
RAM: 24 GB 2400 Mhz
NVME 1 TB Samsung Evo 970 plus, 4 GB HDD
PSU 550W silent up to 300W
Windows 10
I know the RTX 3080 already neesds up to 450W and an RTX 3060ti/3070 should be the limit for my 550W PSU.
But, because I want to immediately buy a more future proof GPU in order to have an immersive VR experience
I am wondering if I could power limit the RTX 3080 to a strict e.g. 300W ceiling for a stable ( of course less FPS) system?
In 9 months this RTX 3080 will be switched to a new PC with 1000W PSU.
Any ideas if this is a reasonable idea and how to I can realize a strict power limit to the RTX 3080?
Thanks
