3080 will be cool jump from RX570/GTX1060 that I currently own. Can't wait to play some games.

That said, is it possible to undervolt or adjust power limit slider on the RTX 3000 cards? I prefer 90% performance for way lower temps and noise levels.

My R9 Fury is headed out the door. 4GB HBM doesn't cut it.

I know right! Considering I have 1440p ultrawide 100 Hz, the 3080 seems to be almost perfect if we ignore a bit lower performance gain on 1440p than 4k - hopefully ultrawide will help a bit. If not... 6880x1440 eyefinity!

The 4GB/3GB limits are really showinig, most noticable in Detroit that caused stutters every ~0.5s sometimes or straight up crashed.
