I'm using a 2070 super and planning to switch to a 3080ti. Will I need to boost my current power supply? It's currently at 850w, but does that mean I should go up to 1000w? I've heard if I upgrade directly to a 4080 I'd have to replace my PSU. My setup includes a Ryzen 7-3800X, ROG Strix X570-F motherboard, Cosair RM 850i PSU, and a Kraken X53 RGB cooler with six fans.

RM850i works well with a 3080Ti. You might need to switch it to single rail mode if it's currently in multi rail mode, but that's the end of it.
