I spent hours trying to get my system to work with a 3080 Ti, and I finally got it up and running. But not before going through various configurations of power adapters and power supply combinations.

During all of this testing, at some point that single 8 gig stick of ram that came with the pre-built died. When I changed it out with a different 8 gig stick of ram, it just booted straight up. So, I put the original power supply back in the system and then went straight back to the little molex power pci-8 pin adapter thing.

Well, this is what happened now. As we do have the splosion cam on standby, uh yeah so let's do a test fire. Hey, it's actually powering up! Let's see if we get any signal out of it. Hell yeah, I just wasted my entire day. Hell yeah, that's exciting.

So, at this point, I think we're going to be so cpu bound that the gpu isn't going to be pulling the full amount of power that it wants to. So, this should all be fine. Actually, this is not feeling very good. But remember, we only have a single 8 gig stick of ram in here because we're trying to see how the stock eye by power system handles the 3080 Ti.

Uh, but as you can see, it's barely drawing any power. These are the same settings we had with the uh rx 550. We have a lot more frame rates here, but it's it's kind of averaging under a hundred frames per second at 1080p low. Apparently, I'm a beast at battlefield.

Oh tank, oh yes, this is a bit better now. We have 16 gigs of nice beefcake dual channel ram going in here and it is running a lot better. Uh, it's still 1080p low settings and we're just sitting at 130 frames per second which is a bit crazy.

Uh, let's let's see what happens when we crank it up to a higher setting. Let's let's try ultra. Yeah, yeah this it's it's it's impacted the frame rate so I guess that means that the cpu does not like the higher graphics settings.

Okay, but can we just i am really surprised that this is working. Um, let's actually see what happens when we crank up the resolution because that means that the graphics card is going to work harder because you know there's less power in 1080p vs 4k.

Wow, it's shot straight up to 83 degrees Celsius I'm guessing the graphics card doesn't like this case very much. Funny enough, the frame rate hasn't changed at all going from 1080p going from 1080p to 4k so I think oh yo how did you not die okay sorry i got a bit excited there.

I love that even at 4k we're still cpu bound. I don't think I've ever seen that before yo it's it's throttling hard that that core frequency is dropping really fast let me quickly just change the scale of the overlay so that you can see it a bit better.

Oh, it's crashed it crashed there it doesn't like that. Okay, we're gonna try that again though. Oh things ah yeah no it crashed again it does not like gaming at 4k I'm actually surprised that it worked so long for the first time.

So, now that we've had fun playing around with various settings and whatever let's do some serious benchmarks to see how much more performance we got going from the stock configuration to the 3080 Ti. Yeah, I don't know man for a thousand two hundred dollars I'd expect more than 96 frames per second at 1080p low settings. Oh out of 10.

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enas we all know the rtx 3080 ti is a bit of a stupid product in a very stupid market however when in video was nice enough to actually send one over for a video i decided to hook it up to an overly elaborate milking machine and go to town on it to teach it a lesson the overly elaborate milking machine in question is the most popular gaming pre-built on amazon which is this 600 ish i buy power system that may not be the best candidate for an rtx 3080 ti transplant now there are a couple of reasons for this the first one is the fact that it's got a single 8 gig stick of ram feeding a ryzen 3 3 100 which is not the brawniest cpu ram configuration around but there's a bigger problem which is the power supply in that system this system has a 500 watt power supply in it by a company that i was reassured in the comment section of the previous video is by a reputable company but it's still 500 watts and if you go onto nvidia's website they recommend a minimum of 750 watts for a system with a 3080ti in it and i'm pretty sure that 750 is in fact a bigger number than 500 so that may be a bit of a problem however i did some math and i think that it may actually be okay because i put all of the base components of the system into like a power supply wattage calculator and it says that they use just over a hundred watts of power and considering that i've been running the 3080ti in my main system and according to msi afterburner it draws a max of about 350 ish watts of power that leaves enough power headroom in that 500 watt power supply for the 3080 ti at least in theory but before we put this theory to the test let's just get a baseline performance reading of the 600 pre-built using battlefield 5 running at 1080p low settings uh yeah that's not a very good result hopefully the 3080ti can do a little bit better now one of the things that i didn't actually check before committing to this video was whether or not this power supply actually has the two eight pin pcie power connectors we need for that weird 12-pin adapter thing from nvidia now i really hope that it does otherwise things are going to get real dodgy real fast okay so we've got one that's a good start here's all the molex for the fans oh no so they've only got one um yeah this is this is gonna get out of hand quickly now a few moments later ah molex my old nemesis we meet again come on oh come on oh there we go okay there we go here is the real one put that in there it's just gonna kind of there we go it's fine it's fine see that's okay that looks that looks decent so it's time for the test fire which is potentially a poor choice of words here uh but i'm curious to see how this goes yeah i mean the whole boot procedure should be fine because there's not much load on the gpu now it's fan is spinning but it's not actually lighting up and we're not getting a display out i mean is that oh we just is that it is that as much as this is gonna happen okay now i'm gonna stop the video right there because i spent pretty much an entire day trying to get the 3080 ti working in that pre-built and after going through various configurations of like different power adapter things and different power supply combinations i eventually got to a point where i fully replaced the power supply in that system with a 750 watt unit that should be able to run a 3080 ti and when i still wasn't getting a display out i put the rx 550 back in the system which also didn't give me a display out uh well it turns out that during all of this testing at some point that single 8 gig stick of ram that came with the pre-built died at some point because when i changed it out with a different 8 gig stick of ram it just booted straight up so i put the original power supply back in the system and then went straight back to the little molex power pci-8 pin adapter thing and well this is what happened now as this tradition we do have the splosion cam on standby uh

point i think we're going to be so cpu bound that the gpu isn't going gonna be pulling the full amount of power that it wants to so this should all be fine actually this is i'm really excited now i was a bit bleak earlier because of the numerous failures i had but this is this is all worth it now oh this is not feeling very good but remember we only have a single eight gig stick of ram in here because we're trying to see how the stock eye by power system handles the 3080 ti uh but as you can see it's barely drawing any power these are the same settings we had with the uh rx 550 we have a

see what happens when we crank up the resolution because that means that the graphics card is going to work harder because you know there's less there's a less apparent cpu bottleneck wow it's shot straight up to 83 degrees celsius i'm guessing the graphics card doesn't like this case very much um funnily enough the frame rate hasn't changed at all going from 1080p going from 1080p to 4k so i
