I have debated posting this but the exact same thing happened in 2023 while playing A21. The cause did not make any sense. I just swapped out my GTX 1080 for a 1470TI with a Intel Core i7-9700K and it just killed my system. So I went back to my backup i7 860 PC with the 1080 installed. Got some money and upgraded to a 14700k, 96 GB DDR 6400 and the 4070ti, Everything was cool (Sylen Thunder pleaded with me to go AMD, but I just liked the motherboard I was buying so I stuck with Intel CPU).
So now I go to add a 5080oc to my 14700k system and I get no video at all. tried going back to my 4070k and no luck. No idea what happened, but now I have a close to dead PC again. Once again I need to upgrade my main components. Luckily I received some money from my moms trust, so that is how I have the money to pull this off.
This I what I picked (Sylen thunder and many others will think I am crazy) but here it is.
MSI MAG A1200PLS PCIE5, Fully Modular Gaming 1200W Power Supply, 80+ Platinum (ATX 3.1 & PCIe 5.1 Ready)
GIGABYTE Gaming GeForce RTX 5080 16GB GDDR7 PCI Express 5.0 Graphics Card GV-N5080GAMING OC-16GD
I know the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K - Core Ultra 9 (Series 2) is a bit lacking on performance in games but I do a lot of other productivity work as well though.
What do you think?
The only reason I went Intel Core Ultra 9 285K, is because the MSI MEG Z890 UNIFY-X Motherboard is amazing. It has six M.2 PCIe Gen 4 x4, 6 SATA ports and 4 PCI Express slots that share bandwidth with other things. So technically they have 4x PCI Express slots but to use one slot you have to disable a M.2 Drive and so on. I believe it is misrepresentation on the part of MSI to add all these slots and then have to disable some of the M.2 port and vice versa.
