RTX 3080 (installing this weekend)

Added 2022-03-23 18:13:19 +0000 UTC

Thanks everyone for the recommendations and support! Wound up getting a new 3080 since prices just so happened to go down, along with a new AMD Ryzen 5800x processor to compensate for it. Technically have the parts installed now, but didn’t realize I’d need another 8-pin PCI power cable for the graphics card. Have one in the mail, so likely will get to putting those in on Friday.

So this whole debacle means a few things moving forward:

Cons

Releases will definitely be delayed for the next month since we had to spend a good chunk of our budget on these parts.
Appointments made with different models and VA’s have been postponed until we can raise the funds to afford them again.

Pros

Have the option to attempt crazier edits and effects while user broader aspects of programs like Blender and Davinci Resolve’s Fusion Editor
Better computer = Better Videos

Overall, I’m hype to see what improvements to the workflow come about through all of this! Gotta say, it’s been an interesting experience switching to a PC after using Mac all my life, but having a hands-on relationship with my rig has become an equally malign and rewarding experience : )
