Ah okay I see. With regards to the processor, I'll be using my i7 4790 as I'm in the midst of building a new rig and will probably finish that rig by December. If I were to purchase the 3080 come the release date, would you say that I should hold out on using it for the time being?
My take is DO NOT buy them on release date.
Give it a month or 2 for early adopters to face problems, not just the hardware but also the drivers.
Q4 we're seeing new processors from AMD coming in so maybe you really should hold off.
Or should you need something to get by, buy a B550 board and Ryzen 3 3100 (or Ryzen 3 3300X if you can find).
Or if you prefer Intel path ........ a used Z390 board and older gen processor? Z490 boards are costly at present and even i5 processors on stock doesn't push framerates too well, I can't find any i5-10600K either.
