Hi, I'm thinking of upgrading my current graphics card (Zotac NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB mini GDDR5) to a new RTX 3080. My pc is only 2 yrs old so I figure it should be fine but I'd like some advice on whether it'd be ok & if so, which version I should buy (like, should I go with the Gigabyte or does that matter?)? My current specs are:-
AMD Ryzen 5 2600.
Gigabyte X370-Gaming 3 board.
16GB DDR4 RAM (2x8),
Cougar 750w 80 Plus Bronze power supply
It's all housed in a Kolink MIDI case so there should be sufficient room but any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks
 
Sorry, refresh rate is 120Hz & no, so far all games work just fine. I was only thinking of upgrading so it can play Cyberpunk 2077 when it comes out in a few weeks time & the new generation of games without issues
 
Just seen Igor's report & if true then yeah, definitely better off waiting. Once these issues get fixed though, do you think my system would be able to upgrade & more importantly, would it be worth the cost (yeah, I get this is subjective but I'd still appreciate any advice). Thx
 
The fault aside you would have no choice but wait anyway, there is no stock and big queues :)

I do think if the card issues are resolved it would be worth it as you are on a TV as the 3080 and 3090 are aimed at higher resolutions.
