Just bought a RTX 4080 Noctua Edtion for really cheap, and I need help!

[deadshot$$]

For Ark: Survival Ascended and Cyberpunk I am to get a good combination of smoothness and FPS (no stutter).

How much ram will I need to achieve this?

By the way I don't want to overclock because I found out that it can reduce the life span of how long your PC will be good.

Any other tips to improve?

All good

Note: Overclocking only shortens the lifespan of your hardware if you push too much voltage. If you want, you can use the default voltage and increase the frequency of the CPU and GPU,. This will not shorten the lifespan.

To answer your question. Yes, it should, as it will allow your components to run cooler and, in turn, allow them to turbo clock high, which will increase the performance. You should notice the performance increase a lot, especially if the components tend to overheat or hit their thermal threshold, which most competent do when under load from a game.

I've seen some videos right now, and I've seen that water cooling could be risky. Instead of water cooling I found a video that shows a CPU cooler that's said in the video to be way better than a water cooler. If you have the time, please watch this video called "Never liquid cool again" it's by UFD Tech.

Please tell me if it's better to do this or not and why.

Okay, I watched your video, and that's just an air cooler for the CPU he demonstrated in the video, which can perform better than a low-end water-cooled system for the CPU only, i.e there isn't a lot of thermal head more, for example, your system uses exactly 700w worth of power, and you have a loop that can dissipate 700w of heat only or even 600w, but I suggest that you can something that has higher TDP/ thermal room for your loop I.e your system uses 700w, but your loop is rated for 900w/ or even 1200w this will allow you to in overclock your system and well have the system fan run at a lower RPM meaning they will be quieter for both your CPU and GPU.

Note: For better results with a custom water-cooled loop you would want it to include your CPU and GPU with an ample amount of extra thermal head to allow for both OverClocking and future-proofing of the loop

Today I went to a party, I was speaking with someone and we actually spoke about the RTX. I talked about the RTX 4080 Noctua Edtion I bought and he said that Noctua stuff usually last well temporary.

Will this be the case for my RTX 4080 Noctua Edtion, or will it last as long as all RTX 4080s?

4080 is still a 4080 regardless of fan colours. Pretty much all the available models have overkill cooling and perform about the same.
Your card will last as long as silicone on the card and driver’s support. Probably 8-10 years.

I'm looking to maximize my RTX 4080 Noctua version, what CPU do I need for it to get the best performance in Cyberpunks 2077 RT Overdrive at max graphics 1080p?

If you want to please help me choose the best motherboard, PSU and more so I can get the best performance for RT Overdrive. This is not also for RT Overdrive, but it's also for this game called Ark: Survival Ascended at max graphics 1080p.

I won't be using anything like DLSS to make me gain more FPS.

I want it to look the best, but also get the best performance I can get.

I have no budget.

For gaming I would recommend a Ryzen 7 7800X3D and if you need more cores I would get like an Ryzen 9 7950X3D which would be good for applications that can benefit from a lot more course. This would include video editing and Other rendering task like that. If you wanted an intel version, I would recommend an i7-14700K for just gaming and if you want more cores for rendering stuff I you get the i9-14900K.

Note the Intel versions will perform better due to the higher CPU clock frequencies

No budget and anyone just a maximum performance for gaining I would recommend that you get the i9-14900K

Cool

GOOD JOB ! start a newb off on the most troublesome platform...amd lol

I now plan to get the Intel I9 14900K for my CPU so I can get the most performance possible.

Should I not buy this?

What can I do to improve?

sure, bigger wallet is all you need.
much more you can improve.
sell 4080 get 4090.
and yess, toss that 14900k in there for good measure.

What PSU should I get for my RTX 4080 Noctua version and the I9 14900K?

No budget

If you don't want to help me choose one, then please tell me how to pick one for my CPU and GPU I'm gonna buy.

intel 14900k build

psu needs all the connectors for devices its running, and more than strong enough to run them

80+ is just efficiency rating, better makes less heat
doesnt mean its a better quality psu, cheap brands often fake them or use 85+ which is nothing

I think some things are a bit excessive.

64 GB RAM is only needed if he ever decides to work station loads. 32 GB will be more than enough. It also won't help with performance to just have more RAM. He mentioned 1080p as well.

That cooling might have a bit of a problem fitting into the case. Due to the size of it.
It's good but the size of it could be a problem.

Has an expensive motherboard ever affected performance to a large degree in FPS games?


A single 4 TB M2? It's better to have a smaller SSD/M2 for the OS and then have two 2 TB drives because they are often cheaper than a 4 TB one.


Don't think the 1200W Power supply is needed as he's not running 4090. Can drop it down to 1000W but even that might be more than enough. Can still pick from the Seasonic brand or other good brands.

[_I_]

no budget, can get the 2x16g kit, but odds are it will need more in the future, and many times 4x16g can be less stable or need reduced speeds or raise timings to be compatible

psu is fine, good for many future upgrades, will last 10+ years
good investment imho

ssd choice is fine, can add 2 more nvme in the future without removing any

64 gb ram 7800x3d your good.

Do we even know if the $48 dollar 4080 even works before OP spends 3.5k on parts?

Where did they say it was $48? Because yeah, if that is the case then that is for sure a broken mining GPU that was savaged 24/7 with unholy memory overclocks.

LOL... @OP, just fyi UFD Tech is a moron that just makes clickbait.

I won't really need to worry about trying out the 4080 because I bought it from a trusted place that's not like Ebay or in my country, Trade Me.

Second thought: I've seen reviews and it's not looking too nice here..

I'll just have to hope that everything turns out good and if it doesn't I can involve Pay Pal like another customer did.

Well, maybe if you are lucky its not too ♥♥♥♥♥♥ and a local repairstore can see identify what might need replacing and hopefully its not the die that is in ruins.

He made a post around the same time as this one, but deleted later.

Not too surprised that they canceled the order.
