rtx 3080 upgrade

[blueberry544]

Hi,

Want to upgrade rtx 3080 to rtx 5070ti for Battlefield 6 game in 1440p to get enough fps for 165Hz monitor. Rest of pc is ryzen 7 5800x, motherboard TUF Gaming B550 pro, RAM 16gb. Motherboard is compatible, correct? Cpu is good enough for that gpu?

Cpu is good enough for that gpu?

CPU should be fine with the GPU. Especially at 1440p
it may have issues at 4k.

Motherboard is compatible, correct?

motherboard is compatible in that all GPU are backwards compatible. Card is PCIe5 but will run perfectly fine on a PCIe4 motherboard. No GPU actually need all the bandwidth PCIe5 provides yet... or even 4.

AMD Ryzen™ 5000 Series/ 3000 Series Desktop Processors
1 x PCIe 4.0 x16 slot (supports x16 mode)

I would confirm you have the right cables on PSU before upgrading. Both work on 750watt PSU but the 5070 TI appears to need a 12VHPWR cable to power it, the 3080 probably used 6 or 8 pin

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Specs

NVIDIA GB203, 2452 MHz, 8960 Cores, 280 TMUs, 96 ROPs, 16384 MB GDDR7, 1750 MHz, 256 bit

You may need to Upgrade PSU to a ATX 3.1 PSU

Corsair RM850

The following PSUs are ATX 3.1 with PCIe 5.1:

RMe Series
RMx Series
HXi Series
RMx SHIFT Series
SF-L Series
SF Series

Which CORSAIR PSUs are ATX 3.0/3.1?

I did but its likely I chose wrong case and GPU. They actually say you could use a 650 but going backwards in power doesn't make sense, never know what future holds.

Although rme are 3.1 they don't have the right cables. - i looked
You probably want one of these:

RMx Series RM850x Fully Modular Power Supply

Cybenetics Gold-certified ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 compliant PSU built with 100% Japanese capacitors for superb electrical performance, featuring fully modular connections for easy building.

I had an RM1000x in my last PC, dead quiet.

it seems that although the cards want a 16pin cable, the new standard is 12 pin and should work with GPU:

Evolving Standards: 12VHPWR and 12V-2x6

With the introduction of the RTX 40-Series, the PCIe 5.0 12VHPWR GPU power connector made its debut with the promise to deliver up to 600W of power through a single connector. As with any new standard, things are likely to evolve quickly and we’re now seeing the introduction of a new connector...

4 of the pins were just data, I assume its done another way now.
