That machine will take a 3080 easily, the bigger issue though... is getting one. I can get hold of most cards, except the 3080.

Is there a reason you want a 3080? Have you just purchased a 4k 144hz monitor? If not, the 3070 is a massive upgrade over the 2070s

It all depends what monitor you're pairing it with?

 

[HAL9000]

Hi thank you very much for your replies, yes 4K monitor and ray tracing in UE plus some c4d octane work.

It would be possible, but supply of 3080’s is absolutely abysmal

Hi again, Ash if I add up a Geforce 3070 you think the supply would be ok? if so, you mind to recommend one please?
cheers

3070 may struggle a little at 4k a 3080 is more the 4k card

If it's 4k 60Hz, a 3070 should be generally OK. Higher refresh rates certainly need a 3080.

Thanks for your reply, I didn't go with the 4K monitor, instead I got a Samsung UW monitor. @sck451 is there any 3070 you would recommend or any available will be ok? also is the power supply ok?
