I’m looking to upgrade my GPU from a 3060 Ti to an RTX 5080 for my PC that has a Ryzen 5900X CPU. Is this a good choice in terms of compatibility and performance?

Honestly, if you’re into competitive gaming like Valorant or Fortnite at 1080p, you might not fully utilize the RTX 5080. But if you’re playing more demanding titles, it’ll shine!
It should work well together. Most games won’t bottleneck with that combo, so you’ll be in a good spot for most gaming scenarios! Just remember, if you’re playing at lower resolutions like 1080p, you might not see as much benefit unless you’re playing graphically intensive games.
Yes, the RTX 5080 is compatible with your Ryzen 5900X. Just make sure your power supply can handle the extra power needs since it’s recommended to have about 250W more than what the 3060 Ti required.
Good point! It’s definitely something to check before pulling the trigger on the upgrade.
Thanks for the input! I’m more into AAA titles, so that helps a lot.
