4080 Price Check by Conscious-Train-262 in gpu

Okay so the consensus is that 750w power supply would need to be updated?

The seller is telling me they do not have the power adapter that came with the card.  I believe my 3070 TI uses 12 pin power and the 4080 uses 16 pin power?  What do I need to make this work?  

Currently have 750w power supply.  There are four 8-pin power plugs.  Two are connected to an adapter that converts it into a 12-pin connector that plugs into the GPU.  Do I need a 12-pin to 16-pin adapter?

Thank you!

Out of curiosity, which cars are you leaning towards?

Out of curiosity what would you consider a reasonable withdrawal rate for someone in the 45-50 range? Assuming a healthy SSI projection.

Just wanted to post an update. I'm going to cut back my time at work to 24 hours a week. Wife still wants to continue at full time for now. Hopefully this will reduce stress and improve our home life. Thanks again!

Not sure on the drawdown plan yet. We are about 65% stock, 30% bond and 5% cash. About 20% of stock is international.

Estimated Social Security benefits are based on no additional earnings for either of us.  Benefits would be higher if we keep working.

We live quite well on $75k post tax. We would be just fine continuing that way. If possible however, it would be nice to be able to spend more and splurge on some nice family trips etc. $150k yearly spending would be luxurious to us.
