If you’re trying to use your HP-installed 3080 graphics card in a different PC with a new motherboard, here’s how to do it step by step:
First, check if the new PC case can physically fit the 3080. These cards can be quite large, so make sure the card will have enough space inside the case.
Next, examine the power supply of your new PC. It needs to have enough wattage to support the 3080. For reference, an Nvidia reference 3080 typically requires at least a 700-watt power supply. The power supply should also have the correct connectors—usually two 6+2 pin PCIe power connectors, which connect to a 12-pin adapter used by Nvidia cards.
Keep in mind, your HP version of the 3080 might have different power needs and smaller size compared to the Nvidia reference model. Verify the exact specifications of your HP 3080 to ensure compatibility and proper power requirements.
Once you’ve confirmed these factors, you can carefully remove the card from the HP system and install it into your new PC. Connect the necessary PCIe power cables from your power supply, make sure everything is plugged in securely, and then power on your PC. You should be able to run the card in your new build smoothly if all requirements are met.
