I am looking to upgrade my RTX 2060 6GB Grahpics card to an RTX 3080, does anyone know, or could asist me in working out if my PC will take this card? PC is: OMEN by HP Obelisk Desktop 875-0027na

@RIICK152,

What are you planning on playing? You might have a serious issue.

Measure the existing 2060 length and act accordingly. RTX3080's tend to be triple fan 11+ inches long. The power required is 320W, so you looking at a 650-700W PSU. Rosewill makes an exact fit 700W modular. But your across the "pond". How about 3 links to the some computer parts dealer in the UK ?

To be honest mainly RTS games. I do occasionally play driving games (Forza Horizon 4) and games like Star Wars Squadrons. I guess I am looking to future proof a little, but don't necessarily understand evrything involved in PC's. I don't play 4k as my monitor is just a quad HD monitor from HP. I was thinking of the standard one from NVidea (when it comes back in stock)

Hello

https://support.hp.com/hr-en/document/c06355657
this is only my opinion, but if you still have this setup;

Whether you are ready to buy a card worth around $ 900, to play games that don't need it, I would tell you to drop
Your processor is not the best, there is only 8 gb of memory
And the power supply is insufficient!
without actually speaking of a case may be unsuitable: overheating!
At least try to increase the memory, if there is a need, it will already be that!

Thanks for the advice, I did actually upgrade the RAM to 16gb. I'll probably leave it as it is for now.
