MSI GeForce RTX™ 3080 GAMING X TRIO 10G

[beerglass007]

Hi All

I managed to get one of these today for £750 so will be a nice upgrade from the 2070S

But currently have a 650 PSU and looks like the MSI uses 3 x 8pin plugs and recommends a 750watt PSU

Can someone recommend a PSU unstuck please

Thanks in advance

Out of stock there

I got a Superflower Leadex III 850w for mine. Currys had them for about £100 I think

Found this PSU would this work

Seasonic Focus GX 750 750W Modular 80+ Gold PSU/Power Supply

Seasonic are arguably the best PSU's.

Thanks I've ordered one

Precision x1 pegged my 10700k and rtx 3090 as needing a 850W.
The 850W was suggested for availability to collect today

You liking the MSI card ?

Yeah, I mean the RGB strip is rubbish. But otherwise it's good - quiet and cool. Plus, having one at all is quite the win atm

Stick with the Seasonic. That should be more than enough. I have the same 3080 with a Seasonic Prime PX 850W.
I also undervolted the GPU a bit and it's dead silent and very cool.

Cheers mate

What monitor have you got running with the 3080. I'm currently on 1440p with 165hz but if I go 4K I assume I can't run 4K @120 with RT on etc etc

 

[TimAhKin]

I have two 27" 1440p 144hz monitors and they both run fine.

Some games are either really demanding or badly optimized for RT, like Watchdogs Legion so you don't even get 120 fps in 1440p. I would stay on 1440p if I were you.
