I'm recently upgraded all of my PC parts a couple months ago except my GPU that have been 4 years old.
I have a 32" samsung gaming QLED monitor with 144hz refresh rate with 1440p native resolution.

My questions are
  1. Do I need to upgrade my current PSU ? or it is sufficient enough for the RTX 3080 ?
  2. Does bottleneck gonna happen with my current rig if I upgrade to RTX 3080 ?
  3. Considering the ray tracing, DLSS, Nvidia reflex, bla bla etc. Is it a good decision to upgrade to RTX 3080 ?
  4. Do I need RTX 3080 or RTX 3070 is enough ?
Sorry for my bad english and btw thanks in advance guys !
 
Solution
  1. It’s plenty.
  2. Without benchmarks its impossible to say for sure but at 1440p its unlikely in my view or if it does happen it will be so small it doesn’t matter.
  3. I’d say yes.
  4. Either

I have decided I’m going for the 3080 to game at 1440p 144Hz. My current 2080S is a little underwhelming in gpu heavy games and I don’t see the 3070 being enough of an upgrade to make it worthwhile.
