Palladium Gaming PC – Ryzen 7 9800X3D, RTX 5080

Palladium 9800X3D RTX 5080 Gaming PC – Built in the UK

The Palladium is a flagship 4K gaming and creator PC for high-refresh gaming, game streaming and content creation.

The Palladium 9800X3D RTX 5080 gaming PC pairs the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, an 8-core, 16-thread processor with 3D V-Cache, with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 16GB GDDR7 graphics card. It is built for players who want 4K gaming, ray tracing and smooth streaming from a single system. It also suits creators who want a fast GPU for rendering, editing and AI-assisted workflows. Every Palladium is built to order in the UK, and you can change parts in the configurator before you order.

The Palladium is built on an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor with 32GB of Kingston Fury Beast RGB DDR5 6000MHz memory and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 with 16GB of GDDR7. Storage is a 2TB WD Black SN7100 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD. The system uses a Gigabyte B650 EAGLE AX motherboard, a Corsair NAUTILUS 360 RS ARGB 360mm liquid cooler and a Contour 850W ATX 3.1 power supply. It is housed in a Corsair FRAME 4000D RS ARGB case in black. Microsoft Windows 11 Home is genuine and pre-installed, and the system carries a 3-year parts and labour warranty.

AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor

The Ryzen 7 9800X3D has 8 cores and 16 threads, with a 4.7GHz base clock and a maximum turbo of 5.2GHz. It carries 96MB of L3 cache, which is the 3D V-Cache design that makes X3D processors popular with gamers. The large cache helps keep latency low and frame rates high in demanding titles. It uses the AM5 socket and is cooled by the 360mm Corsair NAUTILUS 360 RS ARGB liquid cooler, so the processor has plenty of cooling capacity for long sessions.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 graphics

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 has 16GB of GDDR7 memory and 10752 cores, with a rated power of 360W. It is the graphics card behind the Palladium’s 4K ambitions, and it also handles ray tracing and AI-enhanced creative workflows. On the graphics card you get 3 x DisplayPort 2.1b and 1 x HDMI 2.1b, which supports up to four monitors. The exact output layout may vary by card brand.

DDR5 memory and 2TB NVMe storage

The 32GB of Kingston Fury Beast RGB DDR5 6000MHz CL36 memory runs as a dual-channel 2 x 16GB kit, which suits gaming with other applications open in the background. The motherboard has four DIMM slots with two in use and supports up to 192GB, so there is room to add memory later. The 2TB WD Black SN7100 NVMe SSD reads at up to 7250MB/s and writes at up to 6900MB/s. That gives fast load times and space for a large library of modern games. The board has three M.2 slots (PCIe 5.0 x4, PCIe 4.0 x4 and PCIe 4.0 x4), with one used and two free. It also has four SATA 6Gb/s ports, none of them used.

Corsair FRAME 4000D RS ARGB case and cooling

The Corsair FRAME 4000D RS ARGB is a black mid tower with a tempered glass side panel. It comes with three RS120 ARGB PWM fans pre-installed, and the NAUTILUS 360 RS ARGB radiator is 360mm. Power comes from a Contour 850W ATX 3.1 power supply, which is non-modular.

Connectivity

The Gigabyte B650 EAGLE AX uses the AMD B650 chipset and provides 1GbE Realtek wired networking, built-in Wi-Fi 6E and built-in Bluetooth 5.0. Audio is Realtek 7.1 HD Audio. The rear panel has 2 x USB Type-A 10Gbps, 1 x USB Type-C 5Gbps, 6 x USB 2.0 and 1 x RJ-45 Ethernet port. The graphics card sits in the PCIe 4.0 x16 slot, and the board adds three more PCIe 3.0 x16 (x1) slots for expansion cards.

Ideal for

• 4K gamers who want ultra settings in demanding AAA titles
• High-refresh players who want the 3D V-Cache processor for fast frame rates
• Streamers using OBS Studio who want to game and broadcast from one PC
• Creators working in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Blender and Unreal Engine 5
• Multi-monitor setups using up to four displays from the graphics card
