I will just go for the 10GB. 20GB for me is way too overkill cos I do moderate gaming and use adobe softwares only. Hopefully 10GB will restock earlier.

Dear all, i just got the Strix 3080 OC, based on my current CPU it seems to be bottleneck overclocked at 4.8Ghz most of time at 94%~99% while playing Shadow of Tomb Raider.

I would like to check does upgrading RAM memory will have any framerate improvement?

i check amazon sg today Vengeance RGB PRO 32GB (3200 MHz) approx ~S$190 wondering if this help improve performance and not upgrading my cpu and motherboard.

fyi benchmark on Shadow of Tomb Raider is 33% GPU bound (Highest setting) average 68 FPS @ 1440p monitor using latest GPU driver 456.71 release today.

Many thanks in advance.

What can go wrong having a more powerful psu if the premium is peanuts difference? Future proof yo

We change gfx so ever often but my 1000watt PSU have been servicing my needs for the last 7 years

He was going for a 3080. I told him with the type of PSU he has, he can go for a 3090.

I had this same problem with my 6700k and 2080 Ti where in newer games my GPU would sit around 70% and my CPU core usage will go past 80-90%.

4 cores 4 threads simply isn't enough for all the new games today. You would need at least 8 cores 16 threads and beyond for any kind for future proofing. Do not waste your time upgrading your memory it is not the major cause of your bottleneck. You need a platform revamp. If can wait, wait for Zen3 which would be optimal.

It's really a very nice card, just my cpu struggles to cope with it's power, while other games seems ok except this tomb raider really hard to fit it's requirement, a true classic AAA game in my opinion.

Nice to hear you like it. Maybe is your processor?

I did my rig upgrading part by part since July this year. Changed almost everything new already, the only piece left is the GPU and perhaps I may hopelessly still waiting for some luck on the ROG Strix 3080 :s13:

Noted will monitor and see the upcoming technology advancement, personally I prefer intel over to AMD for the motherboard design and cpu slot smaller based on my impression and power effecientcy.
