I wouldn’t spend money moving from a 3080 right now. There is nothing worth the price for the performance you gain. Lower a setting or two if needed

So I suddenly got some extra cash and was thinking of upgrading my RTX 3080. But even with benchmarks and chatgpts help I don't see a big enough improvement to go for a RTX 5080 and motivate that horrible price.

A 5070ti might be a better fit but I am totally clueless nowadays what's good in the GPU scene.

I don't see me spending more than $1000 for a card. And with that price it does not seem worth it.

A 5080 in Sweden is around $1500+.

Any tips on what to look for it just wait for the next generation.

Depends on what you're playing.

1440p, 5070ti is more than capable.

I have a buddy who plays 4K his 4070ti couldn't keep up, so he upgraded to a 5080.

I think 1440p is more than enough if you're playing 2-3 feet away from a monitor, but ymmv.

Yea I am only playing at 1440p right now. I don't see me going 4k any time soon.

The only thing is the % increase feels too low compared to the price they are asking. Maybe I'm just getting cheap.

Will consider a MSI 5080, might be some price drop at black friday so might wait for that.

I upgraded from a 3060 to a 5070ti, and it was a very good upgrade.
