October 30, 20241 yr Hi, when MS2020 was launched I followed the hardware recommendations and bought this system: Intel iCore i9-9900K 8 x 3.6 Hz Power Supply 700 W GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Super ASUS ROG Strix 8GB Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix 390-F Gaming-ATX The Motherboard has these Slots for the GPU: 2xPCIe 3.0x16 (CPU) 1xPCIe 3.0x16 (PCH x4 Mode) 3x PCIe 3.0x1 Can I put in a GeForce RTX 4080 Super in this board which has: 1 x 16-pin PCIe 5.0 (or via adapter 3x8-pin PCIe 5.0) ??? I allready was told that PCIe 5.0 is compatible with PCIe 3.0 (performance difference neglectable). And is the 700W power supply strong enough for the GeForce 4080?

October 30, 20241 yr First, Nvidia recommends a 750 watt PSU as the minimum and you really want more than 750 watts just to be safe. Second, a big limiting factor with the 3xxx and 4xxx cards is the length available within the computer case.

November 4, 20241 yr I think 700W Is enough if you doesn't have a lot of extra gadgets and hard drives that take power, especial if you undervolt your 4080, which you should do anyway, but don't count to get more fps because your CPU will be bottleneck in your system, but you will be able to use Ultra settings (except T-Lod) with the same fps as you have with your 2080 today.
