Seeking advice with changing gpu

[Babychino yolk]

Hi guys, I'm receiving my rtx 3080 tomorrow and I'm quite unsure of what needs doing.

So I had the 2080ti rog strix but gave it to a pal, and I am now using a normal rtx2060.

To install the 2060 was a breeze, only took the 2080 card out and replaced with 2060, but not too sure how to do it now, with the 3080.

Am I required to take all 2080TI's cables out from the psu and insert new cables? Would that mean that I have to do any cable management, would I need any extra cables ? ( just checking so I can be prepared tomorrow), hopefully, I should receive all cables with the 3080

Can't wait for the card to arrive, waited 2 months

thank you in advance

You use the same cables as the 2080ti, 2 x 6+2 pins.

You use the same cables as the 2080ti, 2 x 6+2 pins.

It should be noted this is dependent on the brand of 3080 you're getting. The Zotac 3080 is 2x 8pin power connectors and @SpyderTracks is correct in that its identical to your previous card.

Other brands use 3x 8pin though so you may need an additional cable depending on your precise setup.

Thank you kindly for both responses, can confirm that I've received a zotac edition, so it should be an easy one for me.


All the best!
