Hello,
These are my pc specs;
Fractal Meshify 2 mid size 3 x 140mm front Arctic P14s as intake
Rear 140mm Artic P14 exhaust
2 x 120mm Artic P12 top exhaust
MSI A -Pro ATX motherboard
2 x 16gb DDR4 3200mhz RAM
CPU Intel i5 10600 non -K
1000w Silverstone ST-1000G modular PSU
Gigabyte RTX 3080 turbo 10gb - I have a Noctua 80mm NF A8 PWM fan zip tied to the intake of the GPU to keep temps cooler.
Monitor is a BenQ 28inch 4K HDR 60HHZ
I have managed to save up over $2200.00 AUD in 2022 and I am considering getting an RTX 4080 once performance is known on or after Nov 16.
Rumours are that $2200.00 AUD will be the starting price of RTX4080s in Australia, being the so called Australia tax being at the ass-end of the world where it's not even worth shipping Founder's Edition cards in Nvidia's wisdom.
I am wondering whether going from an RTX 3080 to a RTX4080 will future proof my rig for the next 5 years or greater and whether my i5 10th gen' would bottleneck an RTX 4080 in theory, as it does handle a 30 series card comfortably.
This would be my one and only chance to make a purchase of this calibre without the wife knowing, before we move into our new home with 2 kids and I'll be broke forever more.
Lastly with my modular PSU I only have 2 x 8 pin power connectors hooked up to the PSU presently....I assume I would need a third to power the RTX 4080, would I just need to plug my third 8 pin cable to my modular power supply on the 12v rail, and if so can I do this when the unit is turned off and can plug it in if I can get to the PSU in my case?
