Supporting hardware for RTX 3080

[Akeyiro]

Hi all fellow gamers.

Following the news of the upcoming release of the new RTX GPUs, I'd like to ask a question specifically about the RTX 3080 model. Could anyone please tell me what kind of hardware can support it?

My pc specs are the following:

- Processor: Intel i7 9700K 3.6 Ghz
- Motherboard: Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Ultra
- RAM: 32 GB DDR4-3200
- Cooling system: Cooler MasterLiquid ML240R

Is this hardware fine and compatible for the RTX 3080? Or should I upgrade it?

Thanks a lot for your answers and help.

Your hardware is absolutely fine. What PSU do you have?

Corsair RM850x.

Well, thanks for the reply: I bought this hardware only 8 months ago, so it's brand new. I'm glad to know it can support the RTX 3080!

You are welcome. Your PSU should be fine as well, I wouldn't worry. I am looking forward to getting a 3080 soon as well!

Well, check the specific dimensions of any new GPU when it comes out, but you should be fine with a case like that

It has to be the 3090 that takes up like 3 case slots.
