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

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.

I learned to live with not having to update my video driver every 3 days. I also am a convert , I had a 1080ti/2080ti/3080ti and kept being told 'ray tracing is coming 'soon' .Soon = about 3 weeks after I finished the game in question.

I’m a stick in the mud but I do not like frame generations (creates too much input lag, and artifacts), and am not crazy about ray tracing.
Ray tracing looks good, but it nukes fps performance. It’s the same reason I play in 1440p and not 4K. Yes, it is very pretty, but the performance hit isn’t worth it imo.
games that make ray tracing mandatory are doing a disservice to cut corners. Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal are hella optimized, but Doom TDA was made with ray tracing from the ground up and its optimization is in the toilet (for many reasons, but the ray tracing definitely hurt it).

I recently spilled coffee on my computer and ruined my video card. Went from a 3080 to a 5070. Feels like the same card but like 5 degrees cooler.

Modern performance gains seem to largely be centered around upscaling and frame generation; both of these things are designed to reduce transistor count and cost. In the near future, upscaling will just be hard-wired on, and soon after that, so will frame gen.

Upscaling is already hard-wired on for PS5/XSX. It's not, yet, as far as I know in most pc games.
FG being hard-wired on sounds like a nightmare due to latency. I've heard that if your native frames >70 then it isn't as noticeable. Every time I've used FG, it's VERY noticeable latency. But I dont have a beefy gpu. I got confirmation today that I'll be getting the 7800x3D and 4070 ti (used) this month, and maybe it'll be different with that. I can see how frame gen won't be as noticeable if you're already getting 120 fps, or something. I cant really tell the difference after 100 fps anyhow unless there is noticeable latency.
