We're not just on the same page, but on the same sentence Sir😁 Many people complain about how "crap" the world is, but what do they do to improve it? Too many people enjoy making others miserable because they are in their lives. Now, we have young people that just don't know any better, because they have no moral compass. Bad parenting and social media have contributed to that in my opinion. At any rate, living a positive and productive life has always been its own reward. You know that as do I. It has been my pleasure to interact with you, and thank you again for your contributions. Stay well. 😊
@@larrymoran_THE_CODGER thanks my friend, the pleasure is all mine and I thank you so much for being you. I try my hardest to teach my kids to be good people and I hear nothing but great things from people that are around them when I am not there and as you know, that feels amazing like you said, to know that I am leaving a good impression on the world with them and all i try to do to help others. Thanks so much for being on the same page my friend, sadly its a short sentence on that page, but hopefully we can write a story ;)
so im going to be doing like a whole upgrade to my pc. im going to be putting this gpu in. im going to be swapping my motherboard and cpu from amd to intel. so basically the only thing that ill be keeping from my current build is the ssd now will i be losing all my data on that ssd? like windows and all my installed games, videos and pictures because im swapping the motherboard and cpu? or will all that still be on there? im just trying to do my research before i do anything. i seen a video and he said something about losing all data on the ssd when swapping cpu and motherboards. but he didnt say anything more about it. so im just wondering if you have any information on that?
Well yes and no. So you "can" simply move your drive over and it "should" work but you will have a ton of issues and your PC will be slow. You are changing over architectures, full HAL changes and windows wont be happy with that. Grab yourself another drive, and copy all your data to another drive or have this drive as a secondary drive. I highly recommend you plug in a new drive, they are DIRT cheap now, A 2TB M.2 drive, but you can select one of the other 3 on there and they are cheap, off of my Amazon affiliate link: geni.us/FlAJF but if you dont have m.2 slots, you can just pick up a WD blue, they are great off of my Amazon affiliate link: geni.us/OPb2Y1T. From there install windows 10 or 11 (this video will show you how to make the windows 10 thumb drive free: ruclips.net/video/C759I7DBXd8/видео.html and this video will show you how to install it ruclips.net/video/sNtlz1EoWBM/видео.html, and this video will show you how to make the Windows 11 thumb drive free and install it ruclips.net/video/ayp8TksEtoY/видео.html) If you need any more information, I can help. @@miseryavenue8835
Excellent step-by-step instructions for the entire process, with great close-up shots of key hardware components (better than most YT vids I've seen). Extremely informative video for noobs and a great "reminder" for the more experience builders. And your timing was perfect as I'm about to swap out my temporary GTX 1060 for my new RTX 3070 Ti. Thanx again!
awesome bud, so happy I could help. I wanted to also get a 3070 TI, sadly I can't find any but so very happy I was able to help you, it means the world to me and thanks so much for your kind words.

@Emre Polat I have a corsair RM850 gold 2021 edition it's very solid I'm about to upgrade to a 3080 from a 6600xt so I gotta make sure I got 3 cables lol but that PSU can handle it and more
I could not have asked for a better tutorial. When I got my 3080ti I was terrified about messing it up during installation. This video helped put me at ease and even get a little extra juice out of my card. Thank you so much!

I just got a new card this week and had no clue I needed to uninstall the old drivers. I followed your video step by step and it was SO helpful! I cannot thank you enough. You earned a new subscriber with this one. THANK YOU!
awesome my friend, I am so happy I could help you. About uninstalling the old drivers, you don't "need" to, but it's almost 100% guaranteed that you will run into issues due to the older drivers or at least performance issues. You will get a lot of push back from a lot of people, I promise you but there is no need to fight about it, since you won't have issues and they will down the road haha. Anyways, again I am so happy I could help you and thanks so much for your support, it means the world to me.

Thanks again my friend for starting my day off right and I am so happy I could help you.
One thing you can do in the Nvidia control panel is to go to the video tab and change the color setting from limited to full. It's a small thing but when you have a nice monitor you should take full advantage of it.
I gotta give that a try, thanks. I tried playing with the colors a long time ago and TOTALLY messed things up and since then, I said nope hahah. I will give it a try though, thank you.
Finally got my hands on a 3080ti and wanted to get some info about the power pins. Thanks to you i now know so much more that i didn't think of potentially being a problem and to prepare for. Thank you for this great video!!👍

Found this video just by a google search since I finally got ahold of the exact card you are installing here, I new the mechanical side of replacing the card but not the software stuff, I followed your advice to the T and everything went buttery smooth and my set up is now def leveled up.

@@ThisBytesForYou oh also, when you say the cables have to be separate and not “daisy-chained” does that mean I need 3 separate 8pin cables to connect from PSU to GPU? I’m getting the 3080 ftw3 not the ‘ti’ if that makes a difference. I’m not sure what extra PCI-e cables came with my PSU. I got an EVGA g6 850w 80+ gold.
@@codynathaniel1961 it is not "needed" but it is highly recommended, imaging having a straw and drinking out of it, but popping holes into it, so that your friends can stick straws into those holes and drink with you, your not going to get the same amount of drink, the same goes with power. The G6 has 6x 8pin (6+2), which means you "should" have at least 3 separate cables, with each branching off into 2, so you should be able to plug 1 PCIE cable into 1 pcie connector without having to daisy chain it.

I read that you can have 1 8 pin with a daisy chain but the 2nd cable has to be directly from the PSU. If possible, doing 3 separate cables coming straight out of the PSU would be best.
@@PintilieVasile pop a hole in a straw, put another straw in the hole and have 2 people drink from it, see how good that works. But again, I didn't put the requirement out there nvidia did. Also, that has been done for years and since this gen of cards it has not been a good ideas to daisy chain power connectors.
@@PintilieVasile I wanted to, I looked for it when you first posted this comment, you really don't need to believe me at all, I have nothing to prove, you can do what you like on it, all I can say is I read it by nvidia.
Hey brother thanks again, I got an opened box yesterday from offer up. The guy had geek squad account so I had him take it there for stress testing to verify it was running properly. We both met up there to pick up together & everything is good so far after following your tutorial. Thanks again brother, sending some coffees your way 🎉

cool! i learned something new. even though i knew you should uninstall old drivers, i didn’t know about the DDU preparation. so it just basically wipes all of the old drivers? also if i’m going to do a whole wipe on my nvme ssd within the bios, do i still need to do the DDU prep thing?

It means a ton to me and I am so very happy I could help you. Mainly it is straight forward but what a lot of people don't know is removing an old card, the locking mechanism, many have either broken the plastic clip, which isn't a biggy but sometimes they rip the pcie slot out... not 100% destructive but it can be, so I try to help them on this. Thanks again my friend.
a month of hardships, not with the card, but with my motherboard and working to get it replaced, a new system built and all but there are no issues thermally,.... IF you have good system cooling. My new build (video coming out Friday, tomorrow) and wiring guide coming out Monday, should be a good case, cooling wise but stay tuned. I will be making some more videos on this card, but everything came to screeching halt when i had board issues.

Just came across your page. You do a fantastic job of explaining things at the perfect pace. Quality content, and very easy to understand. Thank you sir! subscribed & liked 🙏🏼😊 I got two MSI 3080 Ti GAMING Trio coming in, so I needed this video. Question for you brotha… Would you recommend me upgrading from a 3080 to a 3080 Ti? Or you think 3080 is more than enough ? Thanks again!
Awesome my friend, I am SOOOOO very happy that not only you enjoyed the videos, but found them beneficial, it means so much to me that you actually took a second out of your day to stay by and say thank you, it really does. Thanks also for the like and sub, you are amazing my friend ;) Sooo, the TI is NICE, but no, it definitely not worth an update from a 3080 to a 3080ti, you would gain 2 extra gigs of memory, unnoticeably faster GPU, a few mghz but the memory would have a higher bandwidth, but stepping away from specs, gaming wise, there's not a huge difference, not a server hundred dollar difference anyway, so no, stick with your 3080 and maybe wait for the next gen, my opinion at least.
@@ThisBytesForYou Thank you bro! Appreciate the kind words and thank you for taking the time to respond. Also, thank you for the response regarding the GPU upgrade, that does makes sense. I got lucky and ordered a pre built pc with EVGA 3080 XC3 from Best Buy last October, so it’s been a beast. I considered making a second PC with the 3080 Ti and keeping the 3080 pc for streaming. Do you think that’s necessary or should the 3080 be powerful enough to run high frames and stream simultaneously? ** my pre built is a intel i9 10850 with now 32GB of RAM
I think your system is very powerful, BUT, a secondary system is always better, 100%, but you don't need to go all hard core with it either, my opinion at least. And always a pleasure my friend, so happy I could help, if you don't mind, please make sure to click like and subscribe, I have new content coming out all the time and more soon, actually I am very backed up, need to get a bunch of videos out.

i was so happy when EVGA ditched the red lips on the end of the card, now i just need to wrap my brain around the thought process of leaving the red strip across it cause as someone whos very picky about their color schemes its such a turn off to me.
the color and the strip just don't bother me, I mean, you look at the screen not the inside of your PC, I mean most of the time anyway. It might bug a little at first, but I would think you would get over it. Though, it is a red strip, can be easily covered with a sharpie or something, not much to me really. I am not everyone though, so of course I get that you may not like it.

Hi, thank you so much for this helpful video. Just 1 question for anyone who can answer, I think this is normal but I want to make sure since I've seen posts about red light. I have this exact rtx 3080ti, got it about 2 weeks ago, since I first put it in my computer each time my computer is off and I power it on I see 4 little red lights above the power connectors flash for not even a second when starting the comp. All the RGB on the 80TI work perfect and no issues with the card so far but I want to make sure when I see these 4 lights flash for a split second on startup is a normal thing. I have 3 separate cables running to it for each 8 pin and my PSU is 850W.
Thanks for your kind words, that is completely normal, its part of POST (Power On Self Test), just a quick check to make sure everything is working throughout your computer.

@@ThisBytesForYou I am subbed and will push people in your direction anytime I'm asked. Can I make a suggestion? In the PSU swap video you recommended your PSU is already removed so it just shows the install - but the removal was terrifying for me in my brain (turns out it was actually only 3 connections and some zip ties) - so maybe in the future you could do a video that shows both removal and installation. Someone might find it useful. Anyway, thanks again. Love the channel👍

Hi, I upgraded from Dual GTX 980 TI FTW cards running in SLI to a single RTX 3080 TI FTW3 Ultra. The installation went great and your video not only turned me on to the DDU utility but answered my question on powering the new card. One question I have is selecting performance over quality in the Nvidia Control settings. Why exactly are you doing that? My system has three monitors, but the main monitor is not quite 4K at 3440x1440@100hz. With the dual GTX980 TIs I could run most games on the next to highest settings with reasonable performance(45 - 65fps) depending on the game. I upgraded because the 980's were getting a little long in the tooth from a technology standpoint but also because with newer games I found they didn't provide quite enough video memory to run them on the highest settings. So in a way, I guess you could say I upgraded to increase graphics quality which brings me back to my performance vs quality question. I get changing those settings for the older GTX 980 tis but don't understand why one would need to go in that direction on a card that has twice the video memory and about 10 times the processing power, please provide additional detail on going the performance route over visual quality and why that is a recommendation for all builds and gamers. Thanks.
force of habit really, as a product development engineer at Alienware (before dell bought us), then Dell after they bought us and Velocity Micro, I did everything i could to squeeze performance out of the system, EVERYTHING, even if it was .5 FPS, I did it. Back in the day of the 980, it made a HUGE different, today... not so much. Thanks so much for your kind words on the guide, it really does mean a ton to me and so happy you like DDU, its done me right for a few years now. I hope that helps my friend.
Regarding the three 8-pin PCIE, you said not to use the daisy-chained, and used individual PCIE cables straight from the PSU. Why? I am currently using the 2 daisy-chained cables for my 3080 ti, and I am not having any issues at all, even was able to OC to 2070 MHZ and memory to 9612 MHZ and bumped power target to 113. Do you recommend I use 3 separate 8-pin cables?
I state that because NVIDIA stated it, also I had a viewer either on this video or another 3080/3090 video of mine state that he daisy chained it before and it killed his card, not sure why, but he said it, but regardless, if NVIDIA recommends it, I would take that to heart for sure. Nice overclock btw, separate connectors might actually pull you a better overclock.
always a pleasure my friend, happy I could help. Totally up to you how you connect them, but after spending so much on the card, I especially for the fact you are overclocking it... why would you want to potentially rob the card of power. My advice, plug 3 separate cables in from the power supply, but again, you can do what you like.

It definitely helped a lot.... especially the part where you said "don't forget to plug back in your hdmi cable" because I did just that for a second. 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for such a concise and to the point guide. I recently had to RMA a card I had received through EVGA's Step Up program and wanted to refresh my memory on how to do this properly. Peace! Thanks again!

Do you need integrated graphics on your CPU in order to launch your PC after installing the drivers for the new GPU and deleting the drivers for the old one? I have a Ryzen 5 2600 and a 1660 super. I just upgraded to a 3060Ti so I’ll be following your guide

Hey, I have a question for you; I just recently got a EVGA RTX 3080Ti graphic card and upon checking it out I notice it had (3) 8 pin plugs, so I bought a new Balm Bush GR Burst GR 850 Gold power supply to feed it, so I bought a new 12VHPWR cable with (3) 8 pin plugs (JOY JOM 12VHP UPPLY (Type B) and a 90 degree 12VHPWR plug on the other end, but there is a problem; the (3) 8 pin plugs does not physically (almost, but not quite fit) the outlets on the GPU card !! Do I have the wrong cable? Also the plugs don't appear to to be fully loaded, that is, some of the cables are missing from the plugs, like the two last holes are empty. I don't know if there is a difference between the Type A or the type B or the Type 1 or the Type 2????? Please advise so that I can finish this build. Thank you much!!!! Emilio
The 3080TI does not use the 12VHPWR, it didn't exist when the card came out, so you will need to use only PCIE connections. The problem is your power supply reads that it has 4 PCIE 6+2 connections, and while there are 4 PCIE connections on the power supply and 2 CPU-EPS connections maybe, because there are all the same its hard to tell, since it doesn't show the cables. You want 3 cables from the power supply, 3 PCIE cables connect directly to the power supply and 3 to the video card, its OK if you use a cable that splits into 2 cables, just don't use the 2nd connection, like I show you in this video, I hope you watched it, I use the same card, I show you everything in this video.
@ThisBytesForYou I'm encountering this issue, I thought that using a split 6 + 2 would work but didn't..although the card lights up and fans spin. My psu only has 2 red 6 pin connectors, what do you suggest. Thank you so much
Building a new PC with a 3080 ti, it’s been 8 years since my last build and I’m so damn rusty. I had a mild panic attack thinking how to configure the GPU/ w the motherboard & monitor. A simple thing you would think, right? Yea I’m dumb. Thanks for the video is helped everything clock together.
nah, not dumb at all and with the cost of these things, its totally understandable to have a panic attack haha, and no worries my friend, while this channel can be used by Pro's it is made for beginners and inbetweeners too, I try to cater to all and I am so very happy i could help you and you found this video beneficial. I come out with videos like this weekly, so if you are interested in this kind of stuff, please do subscribe and like the video too, it would help tons. Thanks again my friend ;)
As an owner of the same lian li case and ftw3 3080ti, I can tell you with a 100% certainty that the side panel will NOT go back on. The card is EXTREMELY wide and the power cables will stick out and prevent the glass from sliding into the case. Then from the cooler design the fan will blow hot air directly onto the glass if you manage to squeeze the glass on. This messes with thermals pretty bad. I just decided to run the card without the panel lol
As an owner of the card and the case, obviously, since it is my video, I can tell you the side panel does go on, it all depends on your power supply and training the pcie cables, it is a right fit but it fits perfectly fine.
I have the same case and the 3080 ftw3 ultra not the ti was wondering how do yo have the fans set up? I currently have the 3 on top set to outflow thru my eq all in one liquid cooler radiator, my 3 on the side and bottom set to in-flow. Any help would be appreciated
yeah you are good there for sure, no issues on my side. One thing a lot of people don't think about though is the temperature in your house, my house is usually at 63°F, many like their houses MUCH hotter, or some just have to have it hotter, the cooler your house is, the cooler your computer will be.
So that I can help, please list the manufacturer and exact model number of the following components: 1. Motherboard - manufacturer and exact model number 2. CPU - manufacturer and exact model number 3. RAM - manufacturer and exact model number 4. Video Card - manufacturer and exact model number 5. Power supply - manufacturer and exact model number 6. Monitor - manufacturer and exact model number
cool video; I think the "old driver cleanup" part is still a bit heavy, but it was a great walk-thru and the settings at the end with nVidia Control Panel was clutch. Thx
Years ago there was, truly a huge difference.... today... I haven't noticed it, I may just do it out of force of habit, but I think I need to test it again, its been a while.
@@ThisBytesForYou if you test it let me know which to use cos i dont wanna use high quality if theres little to no difference anymore - cheers! i do recall jayztwocents saying he uses high performance too though about a year ago, so maybe I should change it.
Thank you so much man! Im waiting my new Asus Tuf 3080 Ti and your beautiful tutorial is gonna help me a lot!

@@ThisBytesForYou it looks like my 3070ti is hooked up with only two pcie. Is it possible there is a 3rd slot at the PSU? The new card (3080ti same as in video) will be here soon and I can buy a new PSU at best buy if necessary. I thought going from 3070ti to 3080ti that I would not need to change the PSU and now I am not so sure. Is there any way I can check what PSU I have before I take the case apart?
it turns out the old PSU was 800W so strong enough; however, only had 2 pcie. I went to best buy and swapped in a 1000W PSU and am now I am just waiting for my new GPU to get here (was supposed to be delivered 2h ago :/ ) Good news though all the PCIe are hooked up and ready to go when it arrives
@@ThisBytesForYou I know this is probably simple but I can't find safe mode in windows 11. From reboot holding shift I get two options: troubleshoot and turn off pc. Obviously I click troubleshoot. From there I'm given 6 options: startup repair, command prompt, uninstall updates, UEFI firmware settings, system restore, and system image recovery. Can you help?
@@ThisBytesForYou you are so welcome 🤗 if only EA would fix battlefield 2042 it won’t boot on my PC but I’m not the only one with that issue..guess we are waiting on a patch for these 30 series cards
@@MSKH1970 supposedly they have a new patch coming out anyday to fix a lot of things, I am a huge Battlefield fan, I just haven't played much anymore anything since I am always working
@@ThisBytesForYou yeah I figured as much I sat up almost all night reading forums to see what was going on hopefully they’ll fix that soon! and yes we work so hard we barely have time to game lol
Just as a general question because I haven’t experienced any issues doing otherwise. What’s your reasoning for demanding that all 3 vga power cords separately come from the psu? I’ve had mine run with 1 8 pin and a daisy chained 2 headed 8 pin for both slot 2 and 3. I’m not saying your wrong at all because we all build different, I’m just curious as to why you made it a big statement that it must be connected that way, and not daisy chained. Thanks for your future reply! Love the videos
Different is one thing but this is something NVIDIA recommended not something I demand. After working with NVIDIA for so long, I listen to them. You don't have to if you don't want to, but you spend big money on a card, treat it right.
@@ThisBytesForYou Might be kinda like how they recommend you get a oil change every 3k miles, but most people don’t kind of thing lol. That makes sense, I was looking on a lot of forums and basically everything I found just sais either way it works the exact same if you daisy them or not. I don’t think daisy chaining is mistreating it necessarily, they wouldn’t have made those cables like that if it was bad for it.
@@leadedpanda think about it this way, drink from a straw, share it with your friends by popping holes in the straw and have them suck from the holes, your not going to get as much of the drink, while your friends suck on the other ones (sounds dirty, i realize this hahha) but I worked very closely with NVIDIA while I was a product development engineer for Alienware (before Dell bought them and then for a bit after Dell bought them) and then later with Velocity Micro, they don't play too much with recommendations. With the money you spent on the card, I would give it proper power, my recommendation for it, but that's up to you. as for making cables like that, Pre 30 series that was fine, cards didn't require the amperage the 30 series does and many power supplies can't hand it, maybe yours is great, I can't say but again, I wouldn't play with it.
@@ThisBytesForYou totally understand bro. So my next question is, where to get a 3rd 8 pin? I have an evga 1000w psu, but supplied brand new was only the 2 separate 8 pin connectors amongst a ton of other cables and connectors. What would one do in that situation if not using the daisy chain? Do we gotta purchase another one separately? Genuine question, please advise when you have time
No, that power supply comes with 4, you can see it here: www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=120-GP-1000-X1 and the 8x8pin(6+2), so off of those 4, 4 pig ties, don't use the pig ties.
@@ThisBytesForYou oh interesting. Maybe my eyes are just bad. So to be sure. If I got that psu, I should be able to run the EVGA 3080 ti with the 3x8 connectors

We're not just on the same page, but on the same sentence Sir😁 Many people complain about how "crap" the world is, but what do they do to improve it? Too many people enjoy making others miserable because they are in their lives. Now, we have young people that just don't know any better, because they have no moral compass. Bad parenting and social media have contributed to that in my opinion. At any rate, living a positive and productive life has always been its own reward. You know that as do I. It has been my pleasure to interact with you, and thank you again for your contributions. Stay well. 😊

Thanks so much for being on the same page my friend, sadly its a short sentence on that page, but hopefully we can write a story ;)
so im going to be doing like a whole upgrade to my pc. im going to be putting this gpu in. im going to be swapping my motherboard and cpu from amd to intel. so basically the only thing that ill be keeping from my current build is the ssd now will i be losing all my data on that ssd? like windows and all my installed games, videos and pictures because im swapping the motherboard and cpu? or will all that still be on there? im just trying to do my research before i do anything. i seen a video and he said something about losing all data on the ssd when swapping cpu and motherboards. but he didnt say anything more about it. so im just wondering if you have any information on that?
Well yes and no. So you "can" simply move your drive over and it "should" work but you will have a ton of issues and your PC will be slow. You are changing over architectures, full HAL changes and windows wont be happy with that.
Grab yourself another drive, and copy all your data to another drive or have this drive as a secondary drive. I highly recommend you plug in a new drive, they are DIRT cheap now, A 2TB M.2 drive, but you can select one of the other 3 on there and they are cheap, off of my Amazon affiliate link: geni.us/FlAJF but if you dont have m.2 slots, you can just pick up a WD blue, they are great off of my Amazon affiliate link: geni.us/OPb2Y1T.
From there install windows 10 or 11 (this video will show you how to make the windows 10 thumb drive free: ruclips.net/video/C759I7DBXd8/видео.html and this video will show you how to install it ruclips.net/video/sNtlz1EoWBM/видео.html, and this video will show you how to make the Windows 11 thumb drive free and install it ruclips.net/video/ayp8TksEtoY/видео.html)

@@ThisBytesForYou oh also, when you say the cables have to be separate and not “daisy-chained” does that mean I need 3 separate 8pin cables to connect from PSU to GPU? I’m getting the 3080 ftw3 not the ‘ti’ if that makes a difference. I’m not sure what extra PCI-e cables came with my PSU. I got an EVGA g6 850w 80+ gold.
@@codynathaniel1961 it is not "needed" but it is highly recommended, imaging having a straw and drinking out of it, but popping holes into it, so that your friends can stick straws into those holes and drink with you, your not going to get the same amount of drink, the same goes with power. The G6 has 6x 8pin (6+2), which means you "should" have at least 3 separate cables, with each branching off into 2, so you should be able to plug 1 PCIE cable into 1 pcie connector without having to daisy chain it.

Just want to say thank you! Just installed a Aorus 3080 extreme and this video was great for me start to finish, tear down to set-up. Easy to understand and follow and I like how you showed everything. A lot of people skip ahead and leave out what I consider to be the details or "important stuff". Appreciate ya

I read that you can have 1 8 pin with a daisy chain but the 2nd cable has to be directly from the PSU. If possible, doing 3 separate cables coming straight out of the PSU would be best.
nope, you want it to work well, 1 8Pin per cable, so yeah all 3 separate cables coming straight out of the PSU, like I have in this video.
@@ThisBytesForYou But why if the PSU manufacture includes daisy-chain cables?
@@PintilieVasile pop a hole in a straw, put another straw in the hole and have 2 people drink from it, see how good that works. But again, I didn't put the requirement out there nvidia did. Also, that has been done for years and since this gen of cards it has not been a good ideas to daisy chain power connectors.
@@ThisBytesForYou Can you give me a link where nvidia said that?
@@PintilieVasile I wanted to, I looked for it when you first posted this comment, you really don't need to believe me at all, I have nothing to prove, you can do what you like on it, all I can say is I read it by nvidia.
Hey brother thanks again, I got an opened box yesterday from offer up. The guy had geek squad account so I had him take it there for stress testing to verify it was running properly. We both met up there to pick up together & everything is good so far after following your tutorial. Thanks again brother, sending some coffees your way 🎉

The Coffee really does help out my friend, it really does mean a lot to me and great score on the gpu. If you don't mind me asking, how much did you get it for?
cool! i learned something new. even though i knew you should uninstall old drivers, i didn’t know about the DDU preparation. so it just basically wipes all of the old drivers?
also if i’m going to do a whole wipe on my nvme ssd within the bios, do i still need to do the DDU prep thing?
If you are erasing your SSD anyway, no, but you will for the entire lifetime using your computer and any computer, you will be updating drivers.
putting the card is straight forward but the software side is what I needed from this video so thank you
Always a pleasure my friend, so very happy you stopped by, trusted in me to help you, liked and subbed as well as took a moment out of your day to thank me. It means a ton to me and I am so very happy I could help you. Mainly it is straight forward but what a lot of people don't know is removing an old card, the locking mechanism, many have either broken the plastic clip, which isn't a biggy but sometimes they rip the pcie slot out... not 100% destructive but it can be, so I try to help them on this. Thanks again my friend.
Hey! You’ve had this card for a month. I was wondering if you recommend upgrading the cooler with the Hybrid Kit or not? Thanks for the video!
a month of hardships, not with the card, but with my motherboard and working to get it replaced, a new system built and all but there are no issues thermally,.... IF you have good system cooling. My new build (video coming out Friday, tomorrow) and wiring guide coming out Monday, should be a good case, cooling wise but stay tuned. I will be making some more videos on this card, but everything came to screeching halt when i had board issues.
@@ThisBytesForYou I’m sorry to hear that, and I hope the new build treats you better! I’m excited for the new videos. Thanks,

Just came across your page. You do a fantastic job of explaining things at the perfect pace. Quality content, and very easy to understand. Thank you sir! subscribed & liked 🙏🏼😊 I got two MSI 3080 Ti GAMING Trio coming in, so I needed this video.
Question for you brotha…
Would you recommend me upgrading from a 3080 to a 3080 Ti? Or you think 3080 is more than enough ? Thanks again!
Awesome my friend, I am SOOOOO very happy that not only you enjoyed the videos, but found them beneficial, it means so much to me that you actually took a second out of your day to stay by and say thank you, it really does. Thanks also for the like and sub, you are amazing my friend ;)
Sooo, the TI is NICE, but no, it definitely not worth an update from a 3080 to a 3080ti, you would gain 2 extra gigs of memory, unnoticeably faster GPU, a few mghz but the memory would have a higher bandwidth, but stepping away from specs, gaming wise, there's not a huge difference, not a server hundred dollar difference anyway, so no, stick with your 3080 and maybe wait for the next gen, my opinion at least.
@@ThisBytesForYou Thank you bro! Appreciate the kind words and thank you for taking the time to respond. Also, thank you for the response regarding the GPU upgrade, that does makes sense. I got lucky and ordered a pre built pc with EVGA 3080 XC3 from Best Buy last October, so it’s been a beast. I considered making a second PC with the 3080 Ti and keeping the 3080 pc for streaming. Do you think that’s necessary or should the 3080 be powerful enough to run high frames and stream simultaneously?
** my pre built is a intel i9 10850 with now 32GB of RAM
I think your system is very powerful, BUT, a secondary system is always better, 100%, but you don't need to go all hard core with it either, my opinion at least. And always a pleasure my friend, so happy I could help, if you don't mind, please make sure to click like and subscribe, I have new content coming out all the time and more soon, actually I am very backed up, need to get a bunch of videos out.

i was so happy when EVGA ditched the red lips on the end of the card, now i just need to wrap my brain around the thought process of leaving the red strip across it cause as someone whos very picky about their color schemes its such a turn off to me.
the color and the strip just don't bother me, I mean, you look at the screen not the inside of your PC, I mean most of the time anyway. It might bug a little at first, but I would think you would get over it. Though, it is a red strip, can be easily covered with a sharpie or something, not much to me really. I am not everyone though, so of course I get that you may not like it.
I hated the red strip also, however I purchased the hybrid kit for the 3080 and all of that original shroud and heat sink is now gone
@@captaincoffeecake3595 dont know why it bothered so many people, but it didn't really bother me, meh, to each their own ;)

Hi, thank you so much for this helpful video. Just 1 question for anyone who can answer, I think this is normal but I want to make sure since I've seen posts about red light. I have this exact rtx 3080ti, got it about 2 weeks ago, since I first put it in my computer each time my computer is off and I power it on I see 4 little red lights above the power connectors flash for not even a second when starting the comp. All the RGB on the 80TI work perfect and no issues with the card so far but I want to make sure when I see these 4 lights flash for a split second on startup is a normal thing. I have 3 separate cables running to it for each 8 pin and my PSU is 850W.
Thanks for your kind words, that is completely normal, its part of POST (Power On Self Test), just a quick check to make sure everything is working throughout your computer.

@@ThisBytesForYou I am subbed and will push people in your direction anytime I'm asked.
Can I make a suggestion? In the PSU swap video you recommended your PSU is already removed so it just shows the install - but the removal was terrifying for me in my brain (turns out it was actually only 3 connections and some zip ties) - so maybe in the future you could do a video that shows both removal and installation. Someone might find it useful.
Anyway, thanks again. Love the channel👍

Hi, I upgraded from Dual GTX 980 TI FTW cards running in SLI to a single RTX 3080 TI FTW3 Ultra. The installation went great and your video not only turned me on to the DDU utility but answered my question on powering the new card. One question I have is selecting performance over quality in the Nvidia Control settings. Why exactly are you doing that? My system has three monitors, but the main monitor is not quite 4K at 3440x1440@100hz. With the dual GTX980 TIs I could run most games on the next to highest settings with reasonable performance(45 - 65fps) depending on the game. I upgraded because the 980's were getting a little long in the tooth from a technology standpoint but also because with newer games I found they didn't provide quite enough video memory to run them on the highest settings. So in a way, I guess you could say I upgraded to increase graphics quality which brings me back to my performance vs quality question. I get changing those settings for the older GTX 980 tis but don't understand why one would need to go in that direction on a card that has twice the video memory and about 10 times the processing power, please provide additional detail on going the performance route over visual quality and why that is a recommendation for all builds and gamers. Thanks.
force of habit really, as a product development engineer at Alienware (before dell bought us), then Dell after they bought us and Velocity Micro, I did everything i could to squeeze performance out of the system, EVERYTHING, even if it was .5 FPS, I did it. Back in the day of the 980, it made a HUGE different, today... not so much. Thanks so much for your kind words on the guide, it really does mean a ton to me and so happy you like DDU, its done me right for a few years now. I hope that helps my friend.
Regarding the three 8-pin PCIE, you said not to use the daisy-chained, and used individual PCIE cables straight from the PSU. Why? I am currently using the 2 daisy-chained cables for my 3080 ti, and I am not having any issues at all, even was able to OC to 2070 MHZ and memory to 9612 MHZ and bumped power target to 113. Do you recommend I use 3 separate 8-pin cables?
I state that because NVIDIA stated it, also I had a viewer either on this video or another 3080/3090 video of mine state that he daisy chained it before and it killed his card, not sure why, but he said it, but regardless, if NVIDIA recommends it, I would take that to heart for sure. Nice overclock btw, separate connectors might actually pull you a better overclock.
@@ThisBytesForYou ok thank you for the clarification, I will do this then, I don’t wanna kill my card 😆
always a pleasure my friend, happy I could help. Totally up to you how you connect them, but after spending so much on the card, I especially for the fact you are overclocking it... why would you want to potentially rob the card of power. My advice, plug 3 separate cables in from the power supply, but again, you can do what you like.

Out of curiosity why don't you ditch the capture card and do direct screen capture using OBS?
How's that going to work in the bios or before drivers are installed?
Do you need integrated graphics on your CPU in order to launch your PC after installing the drivers for the new GPU and deleting the drivers for the old one? I have a Ryzen 5 2600 and a 1660 super. I just upgraded to a 3060Ti so I’ll be following your guide
if you follow this guide, you will be good, no need for an integrated gpu needed.

you can find the motherboard and everything I have in this build in the description. As for the 2, yes they will work perfectly fine together.
Hey, I have a question for you; I just recently got a EVGA RTX 3080Ti graphic card and upon checking it out I notice it had (3) 8 pin plugs, so I bought a new Balm Bush GR Burst GR 850 Gold power supply to feed it, so I bought a new 12VHPWR cable with (3) 8 pin plugs (JOY JOM 12VHP UPPLY (Type B) and a 90 degree 12VHPWR plug on the other end, but there is a problem; the (3) 8 pin plugs does not physically (almost, but not quite fit) the outlets on the GPU card !! Do I have the wrong cable? Also the plugs don't appear to to be fully loaded, that is, some of the cables are missing from the plugs, like the two last holes are empty. I don't know if there is a difference between the Type A or the type B or the Type 1 or the Type 2????? Please advise so that I can finish this build. Thank you much!!!! Emilio
The 3080TI does not use the 12VHPWR, it didn't exist when the card came out, so you will need to use only PCIE connections. The problem is your power supply reads that it has 4 PCIE 6+2 connections, and while there are 4 PCIE connections on the power supply and 2 CPU-EPS connections maybe, because there are all the same its hard to tell, since it doesn't show the cables. You want 3 cables from the power supply, 3 PCIE cables connect directly to the power supply and 3 to the video card, its OK if you use a cable that splits into 2 cables, just don't use the 2nd connection, like I show you in this video, I hope you watched it, I use the same card, I show you everything in this video.
@ThisBytesForYou I'm encountering this issue, I thought that using a split 6 + 2 would work but didn't..although the card lights up and fans spin. My psu only has 2 red 6 pin connectors, what do you suggest. Thank you so much

Building a new PC with a 3080 ti, it’s been 8 years since my last build and I’m so damn rusty. I had a mild panic attack thinking how to configure the GPU/ w the motherboard & monitor. A simple thing you would think, right? Yea I’m dumb. Thanks for the video is helped everything clock together.
nah, not dumb at all and with the cost of these things, its totally understandable to have a panic attack haha, and no worries my friend, while this channel can be used by Pro's it is made for beginners and inbetweeners too, I try to cater to all and I am so very happy i could help you and you found this video beneficial. I come out with videos like this weekly, so if you are interested in this kind of stuff, please do subscribe and like the video too, it would help tons. Thanks again my friend ;)
As an owner of the same lian li case and ftw3 3080ti, I can tell you with a 100% certainty that the side panel will NOT go back on. The card is EXTREMELY wide and the power cables will stick out and prevent the glass from sliding into the case. Then from the cooler design the fan will blow hot air directly onto the glass if you manage to squeeze the glass on. This messes with thermals pretty bad. I just decided to run the card without the panel lol
As an owner of the card and the case, obviously, since it is my video, I can tell you the side panel does go on, it all depends on your power supply and training the pcie cables, it is a right fit but it fits perfectly fine.
I have the same case and the 3080 ftw3 ultra not the ti was wondering how do yo have the fans set up? I currently have the 3 on top set to outflow thru my eq all in one liquid cooler radiator, my 3 on the side and bottom set to in-flow. Any help would be appreciated
yeah you are good there for sure, no issues on my side. One thing a lot of people don't think about though is the temperature in your house, my house is usually at 63°F, many like their houses MUCH hotter, or some just have to have it hotter, the cooler your house is, the cooler your computer will be.
4:00 so for Nvidia check 5 boxes? I am going from gigabyte 2060 super to my rtx 3070 ti founder's edition.
So that I can help, please list the manufacturer and exact model number of the following components:
1. Motherboard - manufacturer and exact model number
2. CPU - manufacturer and exact model number
3. RAM - manufacturer and exact model number
4. Video Card - manufacturer and exact model number
5. Power supply - manufacturer and exact model number
6. Monitor - manufacturer and exact model number
cool video; I think the "old driver cleanup" part is still a bit heavy, but it was a great walk-thru and the settings at the end with nVidia Control Panel was clutch. Thx
Always a pleasure my friend, so very happy you enjoyed it. The old driver cleanup makes sure what are getting is 100% good from the new driver
so is setting it to high performance rather than high quality better? i use high quality but is there no difference using that?
Years ago there was, truly a huge difference.... today... I haven't noticed it, I may just do it out of force of habit, but I think I need to test it again, its been a while.
@@ThisBytesForYou if you test it let me know which to use cos i dont wanna use high quality if theres little to no difference anymore - cheers! i do recall jayztwocents saying he uses high performance too though about a year ago, so maybe I should change it.
It won't be anytime soon, I have a huge backlog, but it will definitely be tested at some point, please stay tuned.
Thank you so much man! Im waiting my new Asus Tuf 3080 Ti and your beautiful tutorial is gonna help me a lot! The purchase of this card has been possible by many sacrifice i did so it means a lot to me and when the installing moment arrives i'll be thinking about THE MAN that helped me through the final steps before enjoying this beast! Cheers from Italy!
P.s.
Im now a proud follower of your channel :D
Thank you so much for your kind words and support my friend, it means the world to me and I am so very happy I could help you. Let me know how it all goes my friend and of course if you have any other questions.
@@ThisBytesForYou Sure! I'll let you know, thanks so much again for your time :D
how is the ARGB plugged in? is it a 3 pin connector? or does it run through the PCIE slot?
This should answer your question ruclips.net/video/C-A-_OPLygM/видео.html

Thank you so much for this video man! I was stuck during the drivers part.
Always a pleasure my friend, so very happy you stopped by, trusted in me to help you, liked and subbed as well as took a moment out of your day to thank me. It means a ton to me and I am so very happy I could help you.
Well this is convenient. This is the exact card I'll be installing tomorrow😀

@@ThisBytesForYou it looks like my 3070ti is hooked up with only two pcie. Is it possible there is a 3rd slot at the PSU? The new card (3080ti same as in video) will be here soon and I can buy a new PSU at best buy if necessary. I thought going from 3070ti to 3080ti that I would not need to change the PSU and now I am not so sure. Is there any way I can check what PSU I have before I take the case apart?
it turns out the old PSU was 800W so strong enough; however, only had 2 pcie. I went to best buy and swapped in a 1000W PSU and am now I am just waiting for my new GPU to get here (was supposed to be delivered 2h ago :/ ) Good news though all the PCIe are hooked up and ready to go when it arrives
@@NotFoolingAroundCrew good stuff my friend, so happy I could help you.
@@ThisBytesForYou I know this is probably simple but I can't find safe mode in windows 11. From reboot holding shift I get two options: troubleshoot and turn off pc. Obviously I click troubleshoot. From there I'm given 6 options: startup repair, command prompt, uninstall updates, UEFI firmware settings, system restore, and system image recovery.
Can you help?
This video HELPED ME SOOOOOOO Much,thank you!!!!
awesome my friend, I am so very happy I could help you and again, I thank you so much for your support, it means a ton to me.
@@ThisBytesForYou you are so welcome 🤗 if only EA would fix battlefield 2042 it won’t boot on my PC but I’m not the only one with that issue..guess we are waiting on a patch for these 30 series cards
@@MSKH1970 supposedly they have a new patch coming out anyday to fix a lot of things, I am a huge Battlefield fan, I just haven't played much anymore anything since I am always working
@@ThisBytesForYou yeah I figured as much I sat up almost all night reading forums to see what was going on hopefully they’ll fix that soon! and yes we work so hard we barely have time to game lol
@@MSKH1970 yeah, day job and night/weekend job and a family,... its rough
Just as a general question because I haven’t experienced any issues doing otherwise. What’s your reasoning for demanding that all 3 vga power cords separately come from the psu? I’ve had mine run with 1 8 pin and a daisy chained 2 headed 8 pin for both slot 2 and 3. I’m not saying your wrong at all because we all build different, I’m just curious as to why you made it a big statement that it must be connected that way, and not daisy chained. Thanks for your future reply! Love the videos
Different is one thing but this is something NVIDIA recommended not something I demand. After working with NVIDIA for so long, I listen to them. You don't have to if you don't want to, but you spend big money on a card, treat it right.
also thanks for your kind words, and I always reply to comments here, I always try to help.
@@ThisBytesForYou Might be kinda like how they recommend you get a oil change every 3k miles, but most people don’t kind of thing lol. That makes sense, I was looking on a lot of forums and basically everything I found just sais either way it works the exact same if you daisy them or not. I don’t think daisy chaining is mistreating it necessarily, they wouldn’t have made those cables like that if it was bad for it.
@@leadedpanda think about it this way, drink from a straw, share it with your friends by popping holes in the straw and have them suck from the holes, your not going to get as much of the drink, while your friends suck on the other ones (sounds dirty, i realize this hahha) but I worked very closely with NVIDIA while I was a product development engineer for Alienware (before Dell bought them and then for a bit after Dell bought them) and then later with Velocity Micro, they don't play too much with recommendations. With the money you spent on the card, I would give it proper power, my recommendation for it, but that's up to you.
as for making cables like that, Pre 30 series that was fine, cards didn't require the amperage the 30 series does and many power supplies can't hand it, maybe yours is great, I can't say but again, I wouldn't play with it.
@@ThisBytesForYou totally understand bro. So my next question is, where to get a 3rd 8 pin? I have an evga 1000w psu, but supplied brand new was only the 2 separate 8 pin connectors amongst a ton of other cables and connectors. What would one do in that situation if not using the daisy chain? Do we gotta purchase another one separately? Genuine question, please advise when you have time
Do you recommend geforce experience or just the drivers?
Drivers and GeForce experience always recommended.
The power supply you linked only looks like it has 2 cables that connect to the gpu. Am I missing something? Did you order a third cable?
No, that power supply comes with 4, you can see it here: www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=120-GP-1000-X1 and the 8x8pin(6+2), so off of those 4, 4 pig ties, don't use the pig ties.
@@ThisBytesForYou oh interesting. Maybe my eyes are just bad. So to be sure. If I got that psu, I should be able to run the EVGA 3080 ti with the 3x8 connectors
yup, you see me using it here, in a 3x8 configuration

Thank you so much for your kind words and support my friend, it means the world to me and I am so very happy I could help you.
Hey I got a question - which power connection cable do I need to buy for the 3080ti ?
is it 12pin-to-2x8 pin and 6pin-to-1x8 pin ?
you don't need to buy one, you need one to come with your power supply. You don't need 2, you need 3. What is the manufacturer and model number of your power supply?
Awesome vid man thanks for the easy to follow instructions!
