Since you are having a new power supply, and assuming that its under a good condition, you might have fried your motherboard as well when using the shorted GPU.

Just to clarify, when you mean "fried", do you mean total loss? Right now I am still using it, but with my old GPU (GTX 980), and there seemed to be no problems. Unless you meant it is somehow damaged, then yeah I am worried about that too.

Sorry i meant somehow damaged. Anyway the second gpu is from the same seller right? Is it a new or used unit?

You can try to get a working or new 3080 to test.

Correct, and used unit. I'll send it to a computer shop and have them check it out, to not risk frying a working 3080 that I can borrow, though its a valid idea. Thanks a lot.
