You need a large case, and CPU watercooling system, or will listen to another aircraft from your computer. 3080 is a very good video card, 3090 too (available soon) No it doesn't !!

Yes, and I thought about waiting for the 20gb version, but considering how much faster the 10gb version is than the 2080ti which has more ram I decided to go for it. Might end up wishing for more vram in the future but for now it looks good for me. Considering the money saved, in a couple of years can always upgrade, but I think that CPU is going to be the limiting factor especially for addons.
