1070ti to RTX 3080

[Gwyn]

Hi guys

I am currently running a Ryzen 3 3100 with a GTX 1070 ti. My PSU is a Fractal ION 660P.

My friend has kindly offered me a Palit RTX 3080 gaming pro at a price I cant say no too.

Would this set up work together? I play Red Dead 2 and COD at 1440p.

Thanks
Gwyn

It'll be fine but you might want to one day look at upgrading the chip. Have you checked you can fit the monster 3080 in the case?

A Ryzen 5 5600 or Ryzen 7 5700X are not too badly priced ATM.

Just check and my case has plenty of room for the card.

Thanks for the info. I will defiantly be upgrading the CPU when I can afford it.

I see the card requires 2 x 8pin. Would this be ok on a spliter or would it have to have 2 dedicated cables?

That PSU has two 8 pin PCI-E power connectors:

Using two separate cables is beneficial in regards to reducing coil whine.
