Will the Ryzen 7 5700X3D bottleneck the RTX 3080?

No. At 1440p the RTX 3080 is the limiting part, which is the normal state for a gaming PC. The Ryzen 7 5700X3D has headroom to spare.

What power supply do I need for a Ryzen 7 5700X3D and RTX 3080?

Estimated system load is about 525 W. A quality 750 W unit leaves roughly 30% headroom for transient spikes.

Is this pair better at 1080p or 4K?

1080p: GPU-limited 4% (balanced). 1440p: GPU-limited 12% (balanced). 4K: GPU-limited 31% (GPU-bound (normal)).

Ryzen 7 5700X3D + RTX 3080: bottleneck check

12%

Balanced at 1440p.

CPU GPU

Well matched at 1440p. The RTX 3080 is the slightly busier part, by about 12%.

By resolution

Resolution	Limiting part	Severity	Verdict
1080p	GPU	4%	balanced
1440p	GPU	12%	balanced
4K	GPU	31%	GPU-bound (normal)

The RTX 3080 is the limiting part at every resolution, which is the healthy direction, and the gap is small enough that neither part is wasted. Upgrade the GPU first when you want more frames.

Power supply

CPU 105 W + GPU 320 W + about 100 W for motherboard, memory, storage and fans gives an estimated peak load of 525 W. We recommend a 750 W unit (80 Plus Gold or better) so transient spikes from the graphics card stay inside the PSU's comfort zone. Try other pairs in the PSU calculator.
