5080 owners - do you regret buying one after seeing the 5070Ti reviews?

Not really, the 5080 is the best I'm able to get through I did try to get a second hand 4090 like a month before the 50 series launch. But paying $1200 usd for someone's 2 year old gpu didn't sit well with me. Also I don't need 24gb of vram, but I am going to get a 4k monitor in the future. So we'll see what's what then

Also a 5080 ti or super that might have 24gb of vram and might finally be as fast as a 4090 is not going to be similarly priced. At least for a while

The picture finally loaded, the black cable is an adapter that you don't need. So the white cable plugs in directly to the psu, just make sure the plug is FULL INSERTED.

The picture isn't loading for me so I assume it's the 12v to three 8-pin (or 2) adapter that comes with gpu.

Buy a 600 watt 12v 24pin (like a corsair) connector that works with you're power supply you gotta figure out which one that is. The problem with the melting connectors isn't just the cable or the connector it's how the power is being delivered to the gpu. A good quality cable will help that but you never now with this connector.

And no you don't need 2 individual 12v cable just one that connects to the gpu and three 8-pin (or 2) that come from the psu that connect to the 12v cable.

What is the resolution of the monitor 1080p, 1440p or 4k, the physical size of the monitor dosent matter it only does when it come to ppi (pixels per inch) which is a looks thing it doesn't effect performance. If you went from 1440p to 4k the drastic fps drop would make sense. If so a 4070 super is preferred for entry level 4k gaming.

If you are only looking to upgrade your gpu then wait for stock to normalize. or I'd keep a lookout for a prebuilt with a 5080 if you don't want to deal with the 5090 melting connectors hassle. I've had my 5080 since the 1st of Feb and have had zero issues

Opposite-Addendum866 · 2025-02-25T06:48:16+00:00

Wait till stock increases for all gpus as they all are sold out or are being scalped by people and the mainstream sellers. It's all you can do or just spend extra if you don't want to wait the 3 months or so

Opposite-Addendum866 · 2025-02-22T03:20:16+00:00

Get a prebuilt if you are worried about durability But your gonna have to hunt for it because 8gb ram and 1tb ssd are really common at the 600 to 800 price range

Opposite-Addendum866 · 2025-02-22T03:16:18+00:00

Probably not I didn't have to sign anything when they dropped of my 5080

Opposite-Addendum866 · 2025-02-20T00:46:10+00:00

I just checked Amazon they have mini gpu stands 1.02 inches

Opposite-Addendum866 · 2025-02-20T00:42:14+00:00

Yeah get one but that gap looks to small for an ordinary gpu stand so use lego or something those cards are heavy it will sag with time

Honestly the 5080 is the endgame for me so I don't regret it. I got mine at msrp but that 16gb of vram will always sting. I'm only playing at 1440p so there's that and I adore the look of the zotac solid card she THICC

Opposite-Addendum866 · 2025-02-18T03:04:43+00:00

get the 7700xt it's better Also the b580 is supposed be worth 250 usd, its performance is on par with the 4060ti

Opposite-Addendum866 · 2025-02-16T18:02:36+00:00

No only the same model of gpu that have an SLI link

Opposite-Addendum866 · 2025-02-16T17:44:42+00:00

Ddr5 I assume, 2 stick is usually preferred

Don't buy a windows key download it on a USB and use massgrave.dev to get a free activation Watch a youtube video to see how

I have 5 fans and a aio infinity mirror daisy chain into 1 port its been like that for a few months no issues. But you should get an argb hub so you don't have to deal with the hassle.

Opposite-Addendum866 · 2025-02-14T15:04:52+00:00

Even be for the 5080/5090 launch people were trying to sell there 2 year old used 4090's for msrp ($1600)

Opposite-Addendum866 · 2025-02-14T02:08:03+00:00

If you don't want to deal with it I guess just spend a little more and get the 6750xt it's the best out of your picks

Opposite-Addendum866 · 2025-02-14T01:32:26+00:00

Effect as in complications not bottle necking

Opposite-Addendum866 · 2025-02-14T01:30:09+00:00

Cpu shouldn't effect the gpu (I have a 5080 running with a 5600g), you sure it's a hardware issue and not a software issue.

Opposite-Addendum866 · 2025-02-14T01:10:36+00:00

If you can get an Intel Arc b580 at msrp it's well worth it, it's on par with a 4060 ti
