HUGE thanks to ASUS for sending me their TUF Gaming RTX 3080 OC! In this video you'll finally see my setup (and why I try to hide it so much lol). We'll install the GPU, upgrading from my trusty old GTX 1070, and will also replace the PSU to upgrade from 600W to 850W.

Apologies in advance for the poor voice quality during the installation process. These hardware vids aren't really my cup of tea, but this one is just too good to pass up on so I wanted to share what I could with you guys.

Stay tuned for the succeeding parts where check out the actual performance on our favorite sims. Enjoy!
