The 5080 just has a bad price and not a terrible card lol (if I missed something here then sorry my bad!) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 3 points 2 months ago I've never played a game that struggled with a 3060 with 12gb VRAM, it runs great with my Linux distro, and the newer power supply cables from the 40 and 50 series have been prone to failure and in some cases melting. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 1 point 2 months ago (3 children) They'd rather replace the 3060 with a 5080. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] Visstix@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (2 children) You rather have a 3060? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] DampSquid@feddit.uk 1 point 2 months ago (1 child) My head hurts now permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Visstix@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago* The thieves removed the 5080 from the computer that wasn't theirs and put a 3060 in. So they swapped a 5080 for a 3060, in that computer. So they ended up swapping a 3060 for a 5080 for themselves. Hope that clears things up . permalink fedilink source parent
