re: PC Discussion - Gaming, Performance and Enthusiasts

Have a friend who builds a lot of systems on the side offer me a cash + trade for a 3080.

I have a 5700 XT, and he's willing to trade the 3080 for that and $340 cash, seems like a no brainer really for me to get up to a 4k capable card like a 3080 and I will replacing my 1080p projector with a 4k one down the road (what my gaming computer is hooked up to).

I just have a basic reference design XFX 5700XT, the 3080 was shucked out an Alienware pre-built, never used. So it looks like this one. Certainly not a fancy 3080 but i could care less for the trade + cash im getting. Looking at people who have the alienware pre-built this came in, it runs around 70c while gaming which is plenty cool and should run a bit cooler than that in my Corsair 680x which has 3x120 intake, 1x120 exhaust and a 2x120 exhaust AIO, so airflow is definitely very good.
