3080 is probably where im going. That's ALOT of video card for that price. I'm actually surprised.
3800x/rtx 3080/32gb ram/
I should be set at least for the next 5-6 years honestly.

Not to drag the conversation back to now outdated graphics cards, but my 2070 Super runs in the high 70s when playing Modern Warfare/Warzone...
Is a custom fan curve in order?

I remember reading that some of the cards run warm like the Asus Dual and MSI Ventus cards, I don't know what brand you have though. Make sure the case isn't dusty and there aren't any cables blocking airflow from the fans, but the other thing would be to run it with the panel off to see if the temps change dramatically.
Will probably look to make the same build.
Gonna scope out some deals right now.

edit: I just used EVGA Precision X1 and set a custom fan curve that has it hovering around 72 degrees now.

I always use a custom fan curve, because the default curve lets the GPU get too hot, so it can stay quiet. with Nvidia cards you're not getting your full 'boost' clock-rate when the card runs hot. but a more aggressive fan curve does make the card a lot louder
probably still not as loud as a PS4Me gaming while my fan curve is at 100
Seriously, my Pro prior to doing a thermal paste swap was as loud as an airportprobably still not as loud as a PS4
I need a build for $800 to $1200 straight gaming maybe some streaming n Netflix not sure tbh on the streaming cus i know I’m not getting rich off it. I got a micro center 30 mins away so if they got deals let me know cus i love to save money open boxes and all
I'm going to go ahead and get these drives. I've been putting shyt off for too long.
No deals are coming. fukking global pandemic.
Haven't perused through this entire thread so forgive me if this has been asked and answered already but:
What do you all think should be the minimum amount of acceptable nits on a screen for a new laptop?
Currently in market.

Ngl that 3090 has been more and more tempting
still going for the 3080 but missing out wouldn't be such a bad thing if this is the consolation
